Prince William and Kate Middleton have taken new extraordinary measures to ensure foolproof security around their new home, Forest Lodge.

The Prince and Princess of Wales' new house has been placed under new restrictions. The couple have installed a no-fly zone above their new property in Windsor.

Kate and William have completed their relocation from Adelaide Cottage to their new home. The Princess is currently living there with her three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - while William attends the Earthshot Awards ceremony in Brazil.

In William's absence, aerial restrictions have been broadened, encompassing unmanned aircraft, traditional helicopters and hot-air balloons, according to new claims.

New orders restrict the use of airborne devices to take photographs of the royal house. The move reflects the future king's commitment to safeguarding his young family's privacy.

The aviation notice extends the protected airspace by an additional three-quarters of a mile surrounding the residence.

As reported by Hello!, the formal notification has been sent to pilots, stating the zone prohibits 'any small balloon, any kite, any UAS and any parachute, including any parascending parachute or paramotor.'

The enhanced measures have been taken after the Waleses successful legal action against a French magazine that published unauthorised photographs taken during a family skiing trip.

Access to Windsor Great Park has permanently been banned after William, Kate and their kids' arrival, with Cranbourne Gate now closed to public use. 

It is worth mentioning here that royal residences under King Charles maintain comparable aerial restrictions, reflecting the monarchy's response to advancing surveillance technology.

The Crown Estate issued a notice stating that the area would be designated as an exclusion zone, eliminating this entry point without prior public consultation.
