The couple are thought to have moved into Frogmore Cottage in mid-November but had already left the property just six weeks later. Prince Harry and Meghan were said to have loaned the five-bedroom cottage to the royal couple to “start their own family”.

It is the first on the York side of the family, making it the first grandchild for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
The new baby will be the Queen’s ninth greatgrandchild. The monarch, 99, is usually one of the first members of the firm to meet any new additions.
