Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will stay in fancy accommodation during their trip back to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee—and the best part is, they won't even need to book it.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are flying to London in June in honor of Her Majesty's 70-year-long reign, marking their first joint visit to Britain since moving to North America in January 2020.
The couple will be joined by their two adorable children, three-year-old Archie Harrison, who last saw the Queen in late 2019, and 11-month-old Lilibet Diana, who has yet to meet her great-grandmother in person. The extent of the Sussexes' participation in the historic event next month remains unclear, but it has been confirmed that Meghan and Harry won't join her on the Jubilee balcony for the Trooping the Color tradition.
The couple may have been sidelined from the public eye on their trip to England, but when it comes to their private lodgings, they won't be missing out on the royal treatment.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their two young kids will stay at their former home, Frogmore Cottage, for the duration of their transatlantic trip, a source has told the Sun. The couple first settled into the plush Windsor property after the birth of Archie in 2019, only to vacate it one year later to emigrate to the States.
The five-bedroom house was quickly filled by Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, who occupy it to this day. It reportedly boasts multiple luxurious features, including majestic fireplaces, a winding staircase, and even a yoga studio.

Prince Harry renewed his Frogmore Cottage lease in February 2022, a decision that has been speculated as a sign that he hopes to keep his ties to the Royal Family.
Not only does homeownership in the UK make it easier for him to arrange accommodation on visits to see family, but it also grants him the required postcode to remain one of the Queen's four Counsellors of State.
'Heightened security measures' have already been put in place at Frogmore Cottage in preparation for the A-list family's arrival, which is expected to skyrocket media interest in the Royal Family's appearances at the Platinum Jubilee.
While it remains unclear what exactly these home protections entail, you can bet your bottom dollar they haven't come cheap. Meghan and Harry's previous security upgrades to Frogmore involved the installation of camera monitoring systems and large shrubbery to shield the manor from the public's view—additions that were made as part of a £2.4m refurbishment project funded by the taxpayer.
Meghan and Harry repaid this debt in September 2020, shortly after moving into their $14 Santa Barbara mansion.
