The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently living the California dream in their £11.2 million mansion in Montecito with their son Archie Harrison, three, and eleven-month-old daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Before they gave up their royal titles and relocated to the United States, Prince Harry, 37, and Meghan Markle, 40, resided in Frogmore Cottage – and they are planning to return for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Since the two moved to America, the house has become the residence of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. Cousins Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie are said to have a tight bond. "Eugenie and Harry have always been close and they chat privately all the time," a friend previously told HELLO!. "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."

The beautiful white cottage sits in front of an incredible lake and Grade-II listed Frogmore House, where the royals hosted their wedding reception in May 2018. Inside, it is reported that there are five bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a nursery, formerly designed for Archie with his parents' input.
