After welcoming baby Archie to the world last month, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have most likely been settling into the ups and downs of new parenthood. Now stationed at their new home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, they’ve already played host to a bunch of friends and renovated the estate to make it more homely and fitting for the new Sussex family member.

But it seems they’re not done making changes, with a new report by the Daily Mail suggesting they’re now set on landscaping the garden, as well as adding in new windows and doors. While we know many changes have been made to the interior of the Grade II-listed Frogmore Cottage, with the couple working with interior designer Vicky Charles to modernise the new home, it seems the new parents are keen to overhaul the exterior. It’s said that the Frogmore Cottage outbuilding will receive new work on its doors, windows and external walls.

According to the royal source speaking to the Daily Mail, “they want to make the house perfect for family life” – and this obviously extends to Frogmore Cottage’s garden. The changes have been revealed in a series of Windsor and Maidenhead Council applications, which outline proposed landscaping work, including the installation of outdoor lighting. “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,” says the source.

“But this is not all, the couple are now looking at finishing off their garden to make it perfect for them and Archie. Lighting is a key part of the scheme not just to make the garden pretty but also for security reasons.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into Frogmore Cottage in April this year, amid much speculation about the state of their relationship with Prince William and Kate Middleton. According to reports, the move was delayed by some of Markle’s last-minute changes, some of which included requests for larger bedrooms and ensuites, a larger kitchen and more bookshelves.

While we have no idea what prompted the next round of changes to Frogmore Cottage (the impending British summer? Paparazzi?), no matter what the reason, isn’t it nice to know even the royal family has to apply to its local council for permission to renovate – just like every other commoner?
