The Duke and Duchess wanted to live in Windsor Castle but were gifted Frogmore Cottage, which is part of it, instead.
The Windsor Estate, a castle where only the Queen and Prince Philip had private apartments, has plenty of cottages and mansions attached and it seems Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted to live within the grounds.
When they got married, the Queen declined the couple’s request to live at the estate and gifted them Frogmore Cottage which is close by.
The late monarch is said to have “politely but firmly suggested” that they live in nearby Frogmore Cottage instead. A further claim about the decision to give her grandson and his wife the impressive home as a wedding gift was made in royal expert Katie’s Nicholl’s book The New Royals.
The Queen deemed it “innapropriate” to let the couple live in Windsor Estate which has been the home to the Royal Family for almost 1,000 years, with the late Queen and Prince Philip, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson among the most recent residents.
But Frogmore Cottage was also dear to the Queen, being in her back yard, a place she coveted a great deal.
