 LONDON (AP) — Like many a couple before them, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are moving to the suburbs ahead of the anticipated birth of their first child. 
 
 Officials said Saturday that Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will move from Kensington Palace in central London to Frogmore Cottage, a house on the grounds of Windsor Estate, early next year. 
 
 The couple, who married in a chapel on the Windsor Castle grounds in May, is expecting their first child in the spring. Windsor is about 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of central London. 
 
 The palace statement said that "Windsor is a very special place for their royal highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate." 
 
 Windsor Castle is one of Queen Elizabeth II's favorite homes. It is surrounded by horse country where she used to ride frequently in her younger days, and she is known to prefer the castle and its environs to Buckingham Palace, her more formal official residence in central London. 
 
 Harry and Meghan have been living at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace since announcing their engagement last year. They will keep their office at Kensington Palace, which is also home to Prince William and his wife Kate. 
 
 Frogmore Cottage is a two-story, stucco-covered house on the Windsor Estate. It is near Frogmore House, the grand 17th century manor house where Meghan and Harry held their evening wedding reception for 200 friends after their nuptials earlier in the day. 
 
 The cottage and house were called Frogmore because of the many frogs that resided in the marshy area near the River Thames. 
 
 The move means that William and Harry will no longer be living in close proximity to each other now that Harry is starting his own family. William and Kate have three children.

 In the buildup to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s six-month royal wedding anniversary earlier this week, tabloids claimed that palace aides are mad that the Duchess of Sussex works too hard (excuse me while I roll my eyes) — and that the newlyweds might be moving out of their Kensington Palace digs. Well, now the Sun has exclusively revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan are, in fact, moving out — and Kensington Palace confirmed the move in a new statement. 
 
 The Sun’s Emily Andrews reports that Meghan and Prince Harry are moving out of the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace — and into a bigger, better, and 20-ish minutes-away cottage (that kind of sounds like a mansion to me). Meghan’s best friend Queen Elizabeth has given the parents-to-be Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Castle grounds. As a refresher, Windsor Castle is where the two tied the knot on May 19, and their private reception was held at Frogmore House (right by this cottage). 
 
 Instead the Queen has given them Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. It’s within the private Home Park and faces the beautiful grounds of Frogmore House.

 Before this, the pair were (wrongly!) believed to be moving into Apartment 1 at Kensington Palace (next door to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s place). This news falls in line with rumors that they are hoping to raise their royal baby in as “normal” a way as possible — namely, outside of the city. 
 
 So what’s the deal with this house? Well, it needs some renovations because it is currently set up as five units for royal staff to live (I hope they get nicer units as an apology for this upheaval!), but by the time the Duke and Duchess of Sussex move in early next year, the house will boast 10 bedrooms, a nursery, and a gym and yoga studio. 
 
 But what about drama? Namely, is there any? Apparently: maybe. The move comes shortly after it was revealed that Prince Harry and Prince William will be splitting their courts — basically that means they will no longer have the same office and will work on separate projects, which makes sense to me as they are separate people with separate roles and separate interests. However, the royals said in a statement that Prince Harry and Meghan’s offices will remain at Kensington Palace, despite the move. Per the Sun: 
 
 A royal source said: “The initial plan was for Harry and Meghan to move out of their cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace and into one of the main apartments. But there has been a bit of tension between the brothers. Now Harry and Meghan don’t want to live next to William and Kate and want to strike out on their own.” 
 
 
 
 Fantastic. We can’t wait to visit.
