The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have officially left Kensington Palace!
The couple, who are expecting their first child together in 2019, are moving to Windsor Castle’s Frogmore House, it was confirmed over the weekend.
Harry and Meghan’s big move comes just weeks after the ‘Royal Fab Four’ were considering breaking up their “joint court”.
The news was first reported by Emily Andrews of The Sun.
The royal couple’s new home, which they’ll move into “early next year,” is a 10-bedroom cottage with plenty of lush vegetation surrounding the property.
The home will need some renovations, as it is currently divided into five units as home to the palace staff.
The Sun reported the couple’s updated residence will feature a nursery and space for a personal gym and yoga studio – which Meghan is known to be an avid fan of. .
Windsor, located about 30 miles west of London, is a “special place” for the couple, their spokesman said, as it served as the setting for their wedding in May. Frogmore House, located near the couple’s cottage, was where their evening wedding party was held and where their engagement photos were taken about a year ago.
In a statement released to PEOPLE, their office said, “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. The couple have lived at Nottingham Cottage since their engagement last year.”
“Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate,” the statement continued. “The Duke and Duchess’s official office will continue to be based at Kensington Palace.”
Harry and Meghan have lived in Kensington Palace’s Nottingham Cottage since their engagement, but it was never intended to be their longterm residence.
