It has been reported that Meghan has hired Soho House’s interior designer Vicky Charles to help with the renovations. Harry and Meghan’s new residence was previously used to accommodate staff at Windsor Castle. The statement to our sister publication HELLO! magazine read.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate early next year as they prepare for the arrival of their first child.

Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate."

It was also speculated that Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland would be moving in with the new parents, but was later confirmed that she will not. However, the proud grandma, who resides in Los Angles, may have a space in the house when she comes visit. Although Meghan and Harry are moving out of Kensington Palace, the palace revealed that the pair's official office will still be at the location.
