Queen Elizabeth II’s uncle, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester lived there prior to the 1950s before it became home to several senior members of the royal family’s staff. The decor and finishings have changed several times since then, as the cottage was occupied by various generations of royalty. Nottingham Cottage was designed by architect Christopher Wren for William III and Mary II in 1689. Harry said, “Well, Oprah came over for tea, didn’t she? And when she came in, she sat down, she goes ‘No one would ever believe it!'” They must have been short,” Meghan added, “He would just hit his head constantly because he’s so tall.” Oprah was apparently astonished by the size of the cottage when she visited.

“It is on a slight lean with really low ceilings,” Harry said. “It was just a chapter of our lives where I don’t think anyone could believe what it was actually like behind the scenes,” she said of the couple’s time in the home. In another shot, Meghan stands in the doorway of an apparently carpeted bathroom. The compact living room is featured in a scene in which the couple announces their engagement to the world.Ĭloset space is apparently tight, as the prince is pictured dressing in his officer’s uniform with a freestanding rack of clothing behind him. This is where Harry proposed to Meghan while roasting a chicken. The kitchen features a checkered black and white floor, white cabinets, and unremarkable gray countertops. The proportions are small, the materials similar to those you’d see in any other modest home.
