Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lived at Frogmore Cottage until 2020, the yr they stepped back from their royal roles.
Meghan Markle desired to be seen as a princess, which is possibly why she and Prince Harry requested to dwell at Windsor Castle after marrying.
Prince Harry and Markle married in 2018 and moved into Frogmore Cottage. The home is placed on the grounds of Windsor Castle and is property belonging to the Crown Estate.
However, Markle reputedly didn't desire to stay there.
"Frogmore Cottage is a amazing estate on the Windsor Castle grounds. I can affirm that Prince Harry and Meghan had requested a house inside Windsor Castle but had been presented Frogmore Cottage instead," Kinsey Schofield, royal specialist and host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast, instructed Fox News Digital.
Before Prince Harry and Markle bought married, Prince William and Princess Catherine have been living in renovated flats internal Kensington Palace. At the time, Prince Harry lived on my own in Nottingham Cottage, a small domestic detached from the palace the place William and Catherine were.
"Part of me wonders if Meghan constantly evaluating what Prince William and Catherine had versus what she was once offered is what originally instigated the Windsor Castle pursuits," Schofield said.
"It is clear that Meghan desires to be viewed as a princess, and a princess needs a castle."
However, Frogmore Cottage gave Markle and Prince Harry "more room and greater privacy," Schofield said.
Queen Elizabeth II's decision to supply Frogmore Cottage to Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Markle, Duchess of Sussex, might have stemmed from the couple's propensity for drama, in accordance to the royal expert.
"Windsor Castle had constantly been a sacred get away for Queen Elizabeth, and primarily based on the quantity of drama that the Sussexes had brought about in such a short quantity of time, I don't suppose the queen wanted them right under her nose," Schofield said.
"Additionally, Prince Harry and Meghan appeared resentful of royal obligations and the interest that comes with it," she added, reiterating that the Sussexes absolutely prioritized privacy. "Would they have been capable to tolerate the amount of tourists that come thru the Windsor Castle grounds regularly or would that sort of attention have verified to be a burden?"
After Harry and Markle stepped back from their royal roles in 2020, the couple moved to the U.S. They now stay in California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, even though Frogmore Cottage is nonetheless technically their house when journeying the U.K.
Markle even mentioned in an interview with The Cut that the couple nonetheless has gadgets at Frogmore Cottage — along with a diary she kept while dwelling there. The former actress uncovered the journal whilst journeying the U.K. for the queen's Platinum Jubilee in June.
"You go back and you open drawers and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh. This is what I used to be writing in my journal there? And here’s all my socks from this time?’" Markle advised the outlet.
The couple most these days stayed at Frogmore Cottage throughout the 10-day royal mourning period after the dying of Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
