Why Meghan and Harry are delaying their move to Windsor
It was announced last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the big city, swapping their luxurious apartment in Kensington Palace for a house on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
However, it has been reported Prince Harry and his very pregnant wife Meghan Markle have delayed their move out of London.
According to The Sun, the royal couple are set to move out to Windsor just a week before their first child is born.
The delay is all down to Harry and Meghan’s apparent indecisiveness when it comes to the finishing touches on their new home, Frogmore Cottage.

While the pair were hoping to move in this week, workmen haven’t been able to complete the changes in time.
“It’s been all hands to the pump,” a royal source told the publication. “The builders have worked all week whatever the weather.”
However, Harry and Meghan have been “making changes, particularly on the layout”.
“The word is they’ve been quite demanding, which is understandable as what homeowner doesn’t want their house to be perfect?” the insider added.
It appears the Sussexes want to make sure everything is in tip-top shape for the arrival of their first child.
Many of the interior walls have reportedly been knocked down inside Frogmore Cottage, which has made way for five bedrooms, along with en-suite bathrooms.

As well as plenty of bedrooms, perhaps for a growing family, a massive kitchen-diner has been produced.
Following their move to Windsor, Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, are set to give up their apartment in Kensington Palace, which will leave them without a base in London.
However, some royal aides have reportedly let slip the royal couple, along with baby Sussex, may be given an apartment on the grounds of Buckingham Palace after its mass (and expensive) £369 million ($688m AUD) renovation.
The move to have a base at the Queen’s London residence would make sense, given the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s formal office will now be based out of Buckingham Palace
