The residence features a marble Greco-Egyptian fireplace and a main bedroom featuring ‘coved ceiling with gilded dolphins and rope ornament reused from the royal yacht Royal George,’ Historic England says.
The cottage on the Windsor Castle estate also holds special meaning for the newlyweds, who tied the knot at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds.
‘Windsor is a very special place for Prince Harry, and he and Ms. Markle have regularly spent time there during the last year,’ a Kensington Palace source said.
It’s well documented that Her Majesty likes gifting her loved ones homes.
Following their May 19 wedding, the Daily Mirror reported that Queen Elizabeth had gifted the newlyweds York Cottage on her Sandringham Estate.
She previously bestowed Anmer Hall, also at Sandringham, to Kate Middleton and Prince William.
