Locals are apparently up in arms after being told that they’ll need to rethink their routes in order to allow a giant privacy fence to go up around the royal couple’s new home. Their move to Forest Lodge necessitates the building of an exclusion zone, which will take out a car park and a gate access to Windsor Great Park which locals have previously paid a £110 per year subscription to use. Those with parking permits have been told to “get in touch” with the local council, and anyone found still walking their dog on the old favourite route could be arrested.
If you were a Windsor local who’d previously been on the fence about the monarchy, I could see this pushing you very firmly on to the “no thanks” side of that (taxpayer-funded) fence. In part because of the lack of notice, in part because of the lack of consultation, and in part because of the age-old issue of famous people clumsily handling their need for “privacy”.

Asking for, or even intimating a desire for, more privacy is perhaps the least sensible thing that a famous person could do. It feels like a rejection, an announcement that they want to be loved and partake in public life, but only when it suits, and that otherwise we the public are an unwelcome intrusion. This must be particularly galling when you’re not even very interested in the royals, merely a local person wanting to carry on with your own life and enjoy a local park.
With dogs or otherwise, walking is how many of us help our brains work; it’s how we calm down, cheer up, manage our minds or work through difficult problems. To have an old faithful taken away – even if it’s for a good reason – feels like losing a friend.
Obviously William and Kate live in a different world, a world where everyone’s got a camera in their pocket, every moment can be broadcast and things feel angrier, scarier and more dangerous.
So it’s all very reasonable. Unfortunately it’s just very, very hard for any famous person to convey that message without seeming like a bit of a brat. See Harry and Meghan for more details.
