People living in the area reportedly told The Mail on Sunday that they feel “absolutely gutted” about the effect these changes have had on them since the royals moved into the Georgian mansion.
One dog walker told The Mail on Sunday: “They say you can use other gates but you can’t because there’s nowhere to park. We’ve lived here for 20 years, it’s lovely in there.
“We appreciate they need privacy, but it’s a real shame. We are absolutely gutted.”
Another person told the publication: “It’s a blow, but they aren’t going to change their minds.”
As reported by The Mail on Sunday, locals who live within a mile of Windsor Great Park – where Forest Lodge is located – can reportedly pay a £60 fee for access to parts of the land that is unavailable to other visitors.
However, it is believed that this does not make a major difference as a result of some key areas still now being inaccessible.
Kensington Palace has been contacted for comment by Express.co.uk, with a royal source reportedly telling The Mail on Sunday that complaints about the security measures around Forest Lodge have been “minimal”.
It is believed William and Catherine plan to stay in the home forever, even when they become King and Queen.
