Meghan and Harry have joked in a new episode of their behind-the-scenes Netflix documentary series that their first royal home was too small – and not what anyone would expect from a property in palace grounds.




The couple lived in Nottingham Cottage, a grace and favour home in the grounds of Kensington Palace, prior to getting married in May 2018. Then later moved to Frogmore Cottage in Home Park, Windsor.

In episode four, the couple lament the reality of living at Kensington Palace, which "sounds like a palace" but, for them, wasn't.

"As far as people were concerned, we were living in a palace," Harry says. "And we were, in a cottage..."

Meghan, speaking in unison, clarifies: "In palace grounds."
