It is reported that the small home was a former staff apartment with a small lounge, kitchenette and bathroom.

At the time, a spokesperson from St James’s Palace reported the move to the Daily Mail. The statement read: "Prince Harry moved into accommodation at Kensington Palace when he returned from the overseas tour. This will now act his official London Residence. He still anticipates moving into the property currently used by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge [Nottingham Cottage] once they vacate it in the future."
