Nested within the expansive grounds of Windsor Estate, Frogmore Cottage has long served as a residence for royal family members. Most recently, it was the home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle before they stepped back from their royal duties and moved to California. Now, in a potential twist of royal intrigue, Prince Andrew is reportedly eyeing Frogmore Cottage as a new home for his daughter Princess Beatrice, her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and their growing family.
This charming five-bedroom retreat could soon welcome another branch of the royal family. Following extensive renovations completed just before Harry and Meghan's arrival, the opulent property is primed for its next chapter. With Princess Beatrice expecting her second child in the spring, Frogmore Cottage would provide the perfect full-time home for the small but expanding family.

As a property of the Crown Estate, Frogmore Cottage was previously maintained using public funds, even when unoccupied. A staggering £2.4 million was spent renovating the cottage in 2019, a cost later reimbursed by Harry and Meghan. The refurbishments blended a contemporary aesthetic with the quintessential British architecture, infusing new life into the grade-II listed historic building. In their Netflix documentary, the Sussexes offered a rare glimpse inside the inviting living spaces, from the expansive kitchen island perfect for gathering to the preserved 1801 rotting and period details enhanced with modern flourishes.
Surrounded by lush greenery, Frogmore Cottage has borne witness to many cherished family moments over the years. Harry and Meghan's pregnancy and Archie's early milestones were celebrated within its walls. Snaps of the new family of three, and one including Meghan's mother Doria, only add to the cottage's legacy. As a hidden gem nestled on the vast Windsor estate, it could soon become a cherished home for another branch of the royal family, continuing the rich history woven into the property.

While excitement continues to build for Baby Sussex’s arrival, another member of the royal family remains unaware of the changes ahead - Princess Beatrice's young son. The princess recently revealed that three-year-old August and one-year-old Ernest have yet to grasp that their family is expanding, with Aunt Beatrice expecting her second child in the spring. According to Princess Eugenie, her sons are still too young to fully understand the concept of a new cousin on the way.
Of course, as the pregnancy progresses and Beatrice's bump becomes more visible, it won't be long before the boys start to recognise the physical changes taking place. In the meantime, they will continue enjoying the blissful innocence of early childhood, untouched by the excitement around them. However, the little ones aren't the only members celebrating - Beatrice's mother Sarah Ferguson is said to be 'overjoyed' at the prospect of another grandchild, and the chance to see both daughters thriving as mothers.

The official announcement from Buckingham Palace confirmed Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are "very pleased to announce they are expecting their second child in early spring." Both families are "delighted" with the news, and the Royal Family's delight was echoed online by Princess Eugenie. She took to Instagram to offer her sister warm congratulations, looking forward to their further "journey of motherhood together" while growing "another little one to the gang." Her post highlights the close bond shared between the sisters, as they continue supporting each other through life's milestones.

Despite the public eye and challenges of blending families, Beatrice and Edoardo have maintained a strong partnership and successfully welcomed Wolfie, Edo's son from a previous relationship, into their tight-knit family unit. As their own little one is on the way, they remain dedicated to making sure Wolfie feels loved and included. Their growing family is a testament to their love and commitment. Now, as the countdown to the new royal baby begins, the entire clan is eagerly awaiting another much-loved addition to further strengthen their tight bond.
