Prince William and Kate under fire from ‘absolutely gutted’ dog walkers in security row | Royal | News
According to those living in the area, he told The Mail on Sunday. They say they feel “absolutely gutted” about the impact these changes have had on them since the royal family moved into the Georgian mansion.
One dog walker told The Mail on Sunday: “They say you can use the other gates but you can’t park because there’s nowhere to park. We’ve lived here for 20 years, it’s lovely.”
“We know they need privacy, but this is truly a shame. We are absolutely gutted.”
Another person told the publication: “It’s a coup but they won’t change their minds.”
As reported by The Mail on Sunday, locals living within a mile of Windsor Great Park, where Forest Lodge is located, can reportedly pay a £60 fee to access parts of the land that are off-limits to other visitors.
However, this is not believed to make a big difference as some important areas are still inaccessible.
Kensington Palace was contacted by Express.co.uk and a royal source reportedly told The Mail on Sunday that complaints about security measures around Forest Lodge were “minimal”.
It is believed that William and Catherine planned to stay in the house forever, even when they became King and Queen.
