It’s official; Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have moved into their new home at Frogmore Cottage.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left Kensington Palace this week as they prepare to welcome their first child together later this month.

They had been due to settle into the cottage in March, but delayed the move to accommodate for the extensive renovations still taking place.

Meghan and Harry are said to have knocked through a number of the interior walls to make space for five huge bedrooms.

Each room reportedly comes with an en-suite bathroom, while the cottage also boasts a large kitchen-diner area.

Their new home marks a move away from life with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who remain at Kensington Palace with their three children.

Meghan and Harry, who wed last year, have lived at Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace since their engagement.

When their new official residence was announced in November last year, Kensington Palace said: ‘Windsor is a very special place for their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate.’

Frogmore Cottage has views of Windsor Great Park and Frogmore House, where the couple hosted their wedding reception last May.

Armed police were posted to sentry boxes as part of a beefing-up of security ahead of their arrival.

The Sussexs are now the first royals in recent memory to be without a base in London, it has been claimed – but they could soon be offered an apartment in Buckingham Palace once renovation there is complete.

Meghan is expected to give birth in April, but Kensington Palace is yet to announce where Baby Sussex will be born.

Options include the exclusive Lindo Wing where Kate gave birth to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and where Harry was also born.

The duke and duchess have said they do not know whether they are having a boy or a girl, who will be seventh in line to the throne and an eighth great-grandchild for the Queen.

But if the couple have a daughter, they are expected to pay tribute by using Diana as a first or middle name.
