Harry and Meghan will make new home at Frogmore House in royal estate despite £1.4m revamp at Kensington Palace

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are moving out of their London home and relocating to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to raise their first child just meters from where they were married, Kensington Palace disclosed today.

Harry and Meghan currently live in Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace. They had been planning to take a spacious main apartment inside the palace in preparation for the arrival of their first child, due in the spring.

But despite £1.4 million renovations being completed last month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will shun the previously earmarked apartment in favour of the cottage on the Windsor Estate, which their statement described as a 'very special place' for the couple.

Meghan, 37, and Harry, 34, are also keen to move further away from William and Kate, who live in a 20-room apartment inside the Kensington Palace, amid reports that the royal brothers feel it is time to end their joint court.

With Harry set to become a father for the first time and William already a father of three, the brothers are seemingly ready to concentrate on their own separate households.

‘Harry and Meghan want to move, and need more space, but they don’t want to live next door to William and Catherine', the Mail reported last week.
