Putting aside all rumors, Kensington Palace has confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will leave Kensington Palace estate and shift their residence to Frogmore Cottage. This is a part of the Windsor Estate and the cottage is a gift from The Queen. The royal couple expects to settle in before their baby arrives in early 2019. It seems the cottage holds a special place in the lives of Meghan and Harry because it was here that they hosted their private wedding party, and had their engagement photos taken.
News AU reports that security upgrades will have to be done in Frogmore Cottage because there were earlier occasions where the public had easy access to it.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want to live a life of their own and, with a new family member set to enter their lives, they want the freedom to bring up the baby in their own way.
About Frogmore Cottage
The new address of the royal couple will soon be Frogmore Cottage. It is a part of the Windsor Estate and located some distance away from Kensington Palace. Harry and Meghan have been staying here in close proximity to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children. However, while The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will stay in Frogmore Cottage, their office will remain at the old address namely, Kensington Palace.

Frogmore Cottage requires large-scale renovation because it used to accommodate members of the royal staff, and modifications will be required to meet the needs of the new occupants.
Its renovation plans include among other things, a yoga studio and gym, apart from a nursery for the incoming royal baby. Meghan was an American actress and loves to keep her body fit and the yoga and gym will help her.
Future plans of Harry and Meghan
According to Cosmopolitan, Prince Harry wants a change of scene. His biographer Ingrid Seward, has revealed to a section of the media "Harry feels very imprisoned at Kensington Palace.
He can't wait to get out." In the opinion of the biographer, rumors of a rift in the family are preying on his mind and he and Meghan have certain ideas of how to bring up their child. This should not come as a surprise because their marriage is an amalgam of two different cultures and two sets of personalities. The Duchess of Sussex has an American background and she has been trying to adjust to a new way of life. Now, probably with approaching motherhood, she wants more freedom to do things her way. She will probably succeed because she has bonded well with the royal family.
