The eerie history behind Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s new home
Before they welcome their new bub into the world, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan will be relocating to Frogmore Cottage at Windsor Castle.
The 10-bedroom home is very special to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as it was the location where their engagement photos were taken on the grounds of the Windsor estate.
However, it has been revealed that there is some eerie history attached to the idyllic home.
The countryside house holds a connection to another American divorcee who married into the royal family, Wallis Simpson.
Wallis Simpson, the woman who King Edward VII abdicated the throne to marry, is buried in the grounds of Frogmore estate, next to her husband.
Just like Meghan, who was previously married before saying “I do” to Harry, Wallis had been divorced twice before Edward fell in love with her.
In 1936, Edward approached the British parliament to ask permission to marry his American partner, however, they declined.
Just weeks later, Queen Elizabeth II’s uncle gave up the throne and married Wallis in France.
Wallis is believed to have called her husband a “god-damned fool” over his decision and the couple were given the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, without the 'Her Royal Highness' status.
The couple spent most of their married lives in France after being banned from England and shunned by Edward’s family.
In 1972, Edward passed away at the age of 77 and in 1986, Wallis died at the age of 89.
According to The Sun, the Queen gifted Harry and Meghan the home where the bodies are buried.
Harry and Meghan’s current residence only has two bedrooms, however, now they will have a nursery as well as 10 extra bedrooms.
Reportedly, there is also space for a gym and yoga studio, which Meghan will certainly utilise.
The house is currently divided into five separate units for palace staff, so changes will be made before they move in.
Frogmore House was also where Harry and Meghan hosted their evening wedding party.
“They need more room and hope Frogmore Cottage will be ready in time for when they have the baby,” a royal insider told The Sun.
