Harry and Meghan to be given new home by the Queen
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be given a new home by the Queen.
Prince Harry, 34, and Meghan Markle, 37, recently moved out of Kensington Palace and into Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, with many attributing the move to their desire for more independence from the royal family.

Frogmore Cottage was renovated ahead of their recent move at a cost of $5.6 million and completed just in time for the arrival of their first child, son Archie.
