In his memoir, Spare, Harry reflected on the deep connection he and Meghan felt with the property from the moment they arrived. The Duke described Frogmore Cottage as more than just a house, saying it immediately felt like the place where they were meant to build their life together.
According to Harry, some of their happiest moments were found in the simple routines of everyday life. He recalled how the couple eagerly looked forward to peaceful mornings, taking long walks through the gardens and spending time among the wildlife that surrounded the estate. One of their favorite encounters was with a particularly temperamental swan named Steve, who became a memorable part of their daily walks.
Harry also shared how much they appreciated the work of the royal gardeners who maintained the grounds. The couple took time to get to know the staff personally, learning their names and even becoming familiar with many of the flowers planted around the property. Their admiration for the gardeners’ dedication and craftsmanship reportedly created a warm relationship between them.
These reflections have resurfaced as discussions continue about the future of Frogmore Cottage. Reports have suggested that changes could be made to the property, including the possibility of reinstating internal divisions that were removed during extensive renovations carried out after Harry and Meghan's wedding. The refurbishment project, which reportedly cost more than £2.4 million, transformed the residence into a single-family home for the couple before they eventually stepped back from royal duties.
Harry’s memories paint a picture of Frogmore Cottage as a place of peace, happiness, and new beginnings—one that remains closely tied to an important chapter in his and Meghan’s lives.
