Quinn revealed during a recent interview on the "Saved the Queen" podcast that Meghan had high hopes about being part of the royal family. Still, she was apparently disappointed when they ended up in a two-bedroom cottage on the Kensington Palace grounds. It seemed as though they were being tucked away into a small prefab structure, which left Meghan feeling less than thrilled.
However, authors Carolyn Durant and Omid Scobie had a different perspective on this. In their biography, "Finding Freedom," they claimed that Meghan was actually excited about living in the quaint Nottingham Cottage. They mentioned that after months of being in a long-distance relationship, Meghan was thrilled to finally share a postcode (W84PY) with her partner. She felt at home at Nottingham Cottage with Harry. She had always been able to adapt and flourish wherever she was, even if it meant living in a cottage.
Nottingham Cottage was their first marital home, generously gifted by the late Queen Elizabeth. Later, they moved to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in 2020. Harry, now 38, and Meghan's grand move to Montecito, California, occurred after they decided to step back as senior members of the royal family. In their Netflix series, Harry and Meghan shared insights about their previous living arrangements. Harry described their residence as having low ceilings, while Meghan pointed out that, according to most people, they were living in a palace, but in reality, it was a cottage.
Prince William and Kate Middleton, on the other hand, lived in the same Nottingham Cottage for two years after their marriage in 2011 before relocating to Apartment 1A within Kensington Palace.
Harry and Meghan's wedding took place in 2018 at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, and they have since welcomed two children, Archie and Lilibet Diana. The couple is currently in Dusseldorf, Germany, for this year's Invictus Games, where they made a rare joint appearance on stage during the "Friends at Home" event.
