Since their engagement Meghan and Harry have lived at Nottingham Cottage which is housed within Kensington Palace, London. Before them, Prince William and Kate Middleton lived there until the birth of their first son Prince George in 2013.
Once William moved out, Harry moved in and it’s been the Prince’s home ever since. He even proposed to Meghan within the walls of ‘Nott Cott’ over a very romantic home cooked roast chicken.
Being royal, however, means Harry and Meghan move around a lot and actually have three places they call home.
So, where do Harry and Meghan live?
Nottingham Cottage was given to Prince Harry by the Queen and it’s been Harry and Meghan’s day-to-day residence since their engagement in 2017.
But they only stay here when they’re in London.
Meghan’s LA home
Long before she married her prince, Meghan Markle bought a house in View Park-Windsor Hills, an affluent and predominantly African American neighbourhood in LA. Her mum, Dorothy Raglan currently lives in this area (Think: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Meghan’s Toronto home
While filming Suits, Meghan lived in a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house at 10 Yarmouth Road in Toronto (where the show was filmed). She regularly posted selfies taken infront of an enormous mirror in her bedroom, and her now-deleted Instagram account showed countless shots of vases full of peonies and expensive scented candles.
Now she’s a royal however, her accommodation options have changed.
When they’re in London, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stay at Nottingham Cottage, which has been home to a variety of royals and royal staff since the 1600s.
Prince Harry and Meghan’s home in the country
But in May 2018, just before their wedding, Harry and Meghan signed a two-year lease on Beaconsfield Farm which sits within Great Tew Estate where Meghan also had her hen’s party.
Beaconsfield is a few hours south west of London in the Cotswolds, Devon, a place that’s full of English country charm and provides the royal couple with a bit more privacy.
Frogmore Cottage
Despite having two perfectly suitable places to stay, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, is set to become Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s main residence and is currently undergoing a $5million renovation. The property was a gift from the Queen.
It’s where Harry and Meghan had their evening wedding reception after getting married in St George’s Chapel, Windsor. Once they move in, it will no doubt become a regular venue for the couple’s A-list dinner parties.
Harry and Meghan have long list of celebrity friends and recently hosted George and Amal Clooney as well as Meghan’s best friend Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian.
What will happen when the Queen dies?
When Queen Elizabeth II passes away, Prince Charles will become King and Prince William will be next in line to the throne and that could change the royal housing situation.
Prince Charles currently resides at Clarence House and would likely move into Buckingham Palace (where the Queen currently lives). With Charles vacating Clarence, William and Kate would potentially move in which would leave 1A Kensington Palace vacant.
Whether Harry and Meghan would move into the 20-room residence is uncertain as so far they seem to have made their own choices about where to live.
