Happy couple to set up first home just a stone’s throw from gran

Nottingham Cottage, a snug, twobedroomed property in the grounds of Kensington Palace, will be home to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The cottage, bought by King William III and Queen Mary II in 1689, was previously occupied by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who used it as their London base for around two and a half years.

Just a stone’s throw from the palace, the property boasts two bedrooms, two reception rooms, a bathroom and a small garden.

The property also offers unrivalled access to the trendy shops, boutiques and spas on Kensington High St.

Having stayed with Prince Harry at the private cottage whenever she has flown over from Toronto to visit him, Markle will already feel at home there.

Nottingham Cottage was formerly the home of Brigadier Sir Miles HuntDavis, the Duke of Edinburgh’s private secretary, and his wife, Gay. Lady Jane Fellowes, Princess Diana’s sister, and her husband Sir Robert Fellowes have also lived there.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge lived there, when in London, from July 2011, moving in permanently when they left Anglesey.

It is where they took Prince George following his birth in July 2013 and spent their first few months as a familyof-three, before moving that autumn to their current home, Apartment 1A.

Prince Harry moved in shortly afterwards and has lived there since.
