Exclusion Zone Coming Into Force Around William and Kate’s New Home
The 150-acre zone includes CCTV and a 2.3-mile perimeter fence to ensure privacy and security for the royal family, restricting public access under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act.
- On Sunday, public access to about 150 acres around Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park was withdrawn, creating a 2.3-mile perimeter ahead of Prince William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, moving in.
- After a challenging 18 months, the Waleses plan to relocate later this year to Forest Lodge, their intended forever home, as a fresh start, sources say.
- Security plans pair physical barriers with legal enforcement, using CCTV cameras, perimeter fencing, and landscaping to deter intruders while SOCPA 2005 grants police powers to arrest trespassers.
- Cranbourne Gate has closed, cutting a key access point for locals as Cranbourne Gate and Cranbourne Car Park shut permanently, forcing those living outside half a mile to travel further.
- Security minister Dan Jarvis ordered the designation under section 128 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, criminalising trespass with penalties including up to six months' imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
