"It was Harry who suggested she and Jack could use Frogmore Cottage because it is much bigger than their cottage at Kensington Palace. It is a case of one family member reaching out to another."
This twee home will have lots of fond memories for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Not only was it their first home with baby Archie, but their incredible wedding reception in 2018 was hosted in the same grounds, at the nearby Frogmore House.
