Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan more renovations at Frogmore Cottage

Updated

Just months after undergoing a nearly $4M renovation, Frogmore Cottage is said to be slated for yet another revamp this summer.

While the home was originally built in 1801, it most recently served as separate staff quarters for those working on the grounds. Queen Elizabeth gifted the home to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their wedding day, and the couple announced they were leaving their home at Kensington Palace in favor of the cottage in November.

The couple moved to the Windsor Castle residence -- a "very special place" for the Sussexes -- in early April after it underwent an extensive seven-month renovation. Updates to the new five-bedroom home included a yoga studio, new grand fireplaces, alcove bookcases, state of the art security and soundproofing the walls, as well as the perfect nursery for baby Archie.

“The word is they’ve been quite demanding, which is understandable as what homeowner doesn’t want their house to be perfect?” said a source when the renovation was extended.

However, it was revealed on Friday that the new parents are once again planning renovations to their country abode and have recently acquired permission by the local council to do so. "The duchess is very involved in the project and wanted the final design to be perfect for them and Archie so they have called the builders back again to sort some parts of the build out," said a source to the Daily Mail.

Plans in place include outside building work, which will be funded by taxpayers, and landscaping, outdoor lighting and other furnishings, which the Sussexes will pay for out of pocket.
