The Duke and Duchess of Sussex currently call three very fancy residences home—and those
are just the confirmed properties. Here's a guide to their real estate portfolio.
FROGMORE COTTAGE. Frogmore Cottage is going to be Meghan and
Harry's main residence. Frogmore is about 30 miles outside of London,
and it's actually part of the Windsor Estate, which is where the Queen spends much of her
time. It also happens to be right next door to Frogmore House —aka the place Meghan
and Harry held their wedding reception. Aside from the sentimental wedding vibes,
Meghan and Harry reportedly want increased security: "The Cambridges have their garden
in the back [of Kensington Palace], which is nice, but there is no real other space
for children to play in," a source said. "Frogmore, which is inside the Windsor security zone,
is secluded, peaceful, tranquil and, most importantly, private. No one will see them
coming or going." Frogmore Cottage is currently undergoing major
renovations so that it's fit for Meghan and Harry's growing family (plus their nanny,
security, and Meghan's mom Doria). As of now, the cottage consists of five separate apartments
that palace staff have been living in, which will be converted into one big home for the
Sussexes. This reno is slightly controversial because it's likely being paid by taxpayer
money.
NOTTINGHAM COTTAGE. Meghan and Harry currently live in Nottingham
Cottage, a small building inside the grounds of Kensington Palace that's super cute but
has almost no privacy due to being right next to everything and everyone—including Kate
Middleton and Prince William.
Harry and Meghan's current place has just two bedrooms, as well as "one bathroom, two
reception rooms, a kitchen, living room and small garden out back."
For your information, Kate and William used to live there. The Cambridges posted up at
Notts Cott (yes, that's its official nickname) for a full two years before moving into "Apartment
1A," where the icon known as Princess Margaret used to live. Basically, staying there is
a rite of passage for new royal couples.
THE COTSWOLD COTTAGE. Barely anything is known about this place
(which is probably good for privacy reasons!), but news broke in early January that Meghan
and Harry had been spending time at a country home in the Cotswolds, which sounds lovely.
The renovated farmhouse is reportedly worth £2.5 million, and has four bedrooms, plus
a two-bedroom "outhouse,". The Sussexes have used their Cotswold home
to entertain celeb guests like George and Amal Clooney, who are rumored to be named
godparents to the royal baby.
THEIR OTHER RUMORED PROPERTIES. Meghan and Harry most likely don't live in
or own any of the following places, but at one point or another, fans speculated that
they might.
Luckington Court. Last year, there were a bunch of theories
that Megs and Harry were moving into this multi-million dollar countryside manor after
it mysteriously went off the market right after Harry and Meghan announced their engagement.
It also happens to be near Highgrove House, where Harry spent much of his childhood, so
it made some logical sense, too. But considering there was no follow-up confirmation, it's
fair to assume that the Sussexes didn't actually buy Luckington.
York Cottage. Back in May 2018, a report surfaced that Queen
Elizabeth II would be giving Meghan and Harry a country home called York Cottage on her
Sandringham estate. William and Kate already have a home in the area (which is where the
royals holiday), so the report made a lot of sense! It's unknown whether or not Her
Majesty went through with the plan, but either way York Cottage is haunted.
Adelaide Cottage. Another "cottage" that the Queen was rumored
to have gifted Megs and Harry! The thing is, Adelaide is also in Windsor, and the happy
couple is already renovating Frogmore.
