Prince Harry and Meghan Are Taking Over Frogmore Cottage
Word has it that the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex are packing their bags to move into the historic Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate early next year. Their plan is to be home when their first child arrives in the spring.
The Verdict from the Courtiers
“Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses, and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate,” the couple announced in a statement that read more like a heartfelt love letter than a royal decree. Their marriage at Windsor Castle in May had already turned the venue into a personal miracle of paperwork and cake.
Why Frogmore Cottage?
Built in the 18th century, Frogmore Cottage sits in a marshy meadow that once boasted a flood of frogs—hence the name. Ever since the UK’s newest couple gave their engagement in 2023, they lived in Nottingham Cottage within Kensington Palace’s grounds, alongside William, Kate and their trio of kin.
- Location: West of London in Berkshire.
- History: Official royal residence since the 1700s.
- Frog Connection: Named after the amphibious residents that used to live there.
With Frogmore Cottage, Harry and Meghan will finally have a place that feels like “home” beyond the polished halls of Kensington. The move also signifies a symbolic step into a future that’s less tied to Buckingham and more tied to a slice of royal countryside.
