Why aren’t Prince Harry and Meghan Markle neighbours with Prince William and Kate Middleton any more? Where all the British royal family members really live
Where all the British royal family members really live, revealed – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved out of Kensington Palace, leaving Prince William and Kate Middleton with fewer neighbours to worry about
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved out of Kensington Palace earlier this year to set up a new home for baby Archie at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Castle. Now, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are also leaving their Kensington Palace apartment, too.
This means Prince William and Kate Middleton can expect new neighbours.
Kensington Palace, a royal residence since the 1600s, is easily the most bustling of the royal family's many grand homes – but not every royal lives there.
Within its grounds are a host of separate properties, ranging from relatively humble cottages, to the grand 20-room apartment occupied by Prince William, Kate Middleton and their young family.
As well as royal living quarters, which tend to be modestly decorated, it is also home to lavish state rooms used for grand occasions.
Why did Harry and Meghan leave Nottingham Cottage
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lived in a two-bed cottage on the palace grounds before they got married on May 19, 2018, and came back two days after the ceremony to make it their marital home.
The cottage, nicknamed “Nott Cott” and often described as “snug”, was Harry's home since 2013.
