It turns out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are about to fly the royal coop.
The newlyweds will be moving out of the Kensington Palace estate and across town before their baby arrives next year.
In an official statement, Kensington Palace confirmed that when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex leave the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage on the Kensington Palace estate, they will be moving into Frogmore Cottage, on the Windsor Estate.
Although the 20-bedroom apartment beside the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will become available next year, the Queen gifted the Frogmore Cottage to the couple instead.
Said “cottage” has 10 bedrooms and is currently undergoing a large renovation to modernise it before the royal baby arrives.
Royal reporter Emily Andrews shared the news on Twitter.
