《ハリー王子＆メーガン妃 来年ウィンザーへお引っ越し！》

《ハリー王子＆メーガン妃  来年ウィンザーへお引っ越し！》

 living 
＠ Nottingham Cottage 
on the estate 
since their engagement in 2017

move to 
"Frogmore Cottage"
 in the grounds of Windsor Castle
 in early 2019, 

Kensington Palace confirmed

ご結婚後、
そういえば
小さな２ベッドルームの
ノッティンガム・コテージにお住まいだった
ハリー王子とメーガン妃

ウィリアム王子も、
結婚前までお住まいになってたところで
結婚後は、
さすがに狭いので
通常、女王から
新たな邸宅をプレゼントされ、お引越し、
という形に。

他にもカントリーに家をお借りになったり
女王からプレゼントされたり、、
と、そんな噂は出ていたけれど
肝心の拠点についての情報は
さほど、出ていなかった。

当初、ロンドンでの拠点は
ケンジントンパレス内の
”Apartment １”
と見られていましたが、
なんと、郊外の
ウィンザー城に！

週末
ケンジントンパレスが明らかにした。

場所は、ウィンザー城の領地内
”フラッグモア コテージ”

今年5月の、ロイヤルウェディングの夜
200人を招待し
プライベートディナーパーティー
が行われたのが
”フロッグモア ハウス”

その並び？
にあるコテージに、
来年初めにお引越し予定とか。

ただいま妊娠中で
来春出産予定のメーガン妃に合わせて
その前に引越しが可能なよう
改装中の模様

改装後の
”フロッグモア コテージ”は
10ベッドルーム
ナーサリー
ジム
ヨガスタジオ
など
やはりメーガン妃らしい！
お宅ですねえ〜

なぜ、当初の予定
ケンジントンパレス からウィンザーへ？

これについて
兄弟間の仲についての推測が、、、、

第一子が誕生予定の
ハリー王子＆メーガン妃が
ファミリーハウスとして求めるのは
多くの部屋

それに加えて言われているのが
お二人が、ウィリアム王子＆キャサリン妃のお隣に住みたくない
と思っているということ。

ええ〜〜〜〜〜〜っつ！！！！

部屋数が重要であるのは納得だけど
実は、それだけなら
Apartment１でも足りるはず

ウィリアム王子＆キャサリン妃の
２０ベッドルームには敵わぬとも
10ベッドルームはあったはず。

となると、ウィンザーと変わらず。

この、
”お隣さんイヤ”
が、兄弟間に亀裂が？

いや〜〜〜〜！！！

結婚し、パートナーができ
一つの家が形成されると
人も増えるぶん考え方も増え
軸が変わり
家族でも関係性って変わる。

よって、仲よかった家族も変わっちゃったり
って有りがちですが、、、
ロイヤルも、そりゃあ人ですが。。。

ましてや
妻同士も、ねえ
キャラ違うもんねえ。。

お隣さんで仲良し、って感じには思えず。。

そもそも、お互いの立場も
未来の国王と継承順位6位、
と、全く異なる。

なので、
ハリー王子が
どこに住もうが、、
ロンドンに絶対！
というわけでもないでしょう。

ご自分で家を買うことすら。。

なにせ、
メーガン妃も先日、
資産が

と言われていたほど。
お二人とも言わずもがな、お金持ち。

この公邸はもちろん
エリザベス女王がプレゼントされたわけですが、
女王は孫たちの別々の道を
どうお考えになったのだろう。
きっと応援でしょうね。

これをプラスに見るならば、
距離があったほうが、
むしろ公務でもうまくいくかもですね。
なにせ、ロイヤルは
永久的に、一緒に公務しなきゃいけないわけで。。

揉めて、さようなら、
とか、無理です。

そして、もう一つ

今は、”ケンジントンパレス ”が

王子お二人のご一家を

共同で管理していますが

それも、別々に持つという推測も、、、、

これは、お家のことより悲しいな〜
お仕事の上では
オフィスは同じにしておきましょうよ、、、
そこだけは繋がってて頂きたい。

ある意味、

王位継承順位が6位のハリー王子にとっては

選択肢が色々。

ロンドンの拠点を

ケンジントンパレスにしなければいけない

という理由まではない、、、

しかも、

お二人ともリッチ！！！

メーガン妃の資産は

390万ポンドだとか？！

Last week it was revealed Meghan’s £3.9million wealth and Prince Harry’s £300,000-a-year trust fund could be looked into by the Inland Revenue Service

US tax inspectors could even scrutinise the private wealth of Prince Charles and the Queen because they provide support and funding for the couple.

Meghan has to pay tax in her home country on all income “available” to her so this could include to princess jewellery, travel expenses and royal accommodation.

The Royal Family is so concerned about the issue they have even asked a US financial consultancy firm for advice.

Kensington Palace declined to comment.

それにしても、

ウィンザーには、
ヴィクトリア女王＆アルバート王子の霊廟の他に
エドワード8世とウォリス・シンプソンのお墓も。

このお二人といえば
”王冠をかけた恋”と称される
歴史に残るカップル

アメリカ人で離婚歴のある庶民
大反対の末の退位＆結婚に
ウィンザー公爵夫妻となり
王室からは祝福されることはなく。

お墓も、ヴィクトリア女王や他の人たちとは離れた
敷地の隅に、
ひっそりと並べられて眠っている。

メーガン妃とのリンクを
感じてしまう、この二人の女性たち

個人的感想ですが
なんか、揉め事引き寄せる気がしてならない
メーガン妃

大丈夫かな、、、、
揉めないで〜〜〜
ダイアナ妃も泣いちゃうよ〜

-----------------------------------------------------------

The couple were married at Windsor Castle in May and held their reception for around 200 guests at Frogmore House

"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.

"They need more room and hope Frogmore Cottage will be ready in time for when they have the baby."

Frogmore House has ten bedrooms and a nursery for their baby which is expected in the spring of 2019. It is where Meghan and Harry's lavish wedding reception was held in May.

"They will soon have separate offices and separate lives, so it would make sense for them to live further afield.

"There is no reason why their London home has to be at Kensington Palace.

"There are plenty of other options, including using their own money to buy their own place."

Despite the option to purchase their own home, Frogmore House, given to them by the Queen, is currently undergoing a multi-million pound refit paid for by the taxpayer.

While we are on the subject of the Frogmore Estate, the is a picture I took of the simple grave of the abdicated King Edward VIII. ‘David’ later Duke of Windsor, is buried here next to his wife Wallis Simpson. You can help but notice their graves are away from all the others ... pic.twitter.com/6PTNoez4hS

The Frogmore Estate held dear by the royal family: 17th Century House was purchased by George III for his wife Queen Charlotte

Frogmore Cottage    

Harry and Meghan are set to move to Frogmore Cottage - formerly known as Double Garden Cottage - next year as they prepare for their first child. 

The stylish cottage, located in the royal estate of Windsor, Berkshire will give the Duke and Duchess plenty of space to raise their new baby and it comes with 10 bedrooms, a gym and a spa.

Meghan will also make use of the cottage's yoga studio - she recently told fans at Bondi Beach in Sydney how she relies on yoga to boost her energy levels. 

The cottage, a gift from Harry's grandmother the Queen, also has a nursery for the new baby due in the spring.

Queen Victoria's favourite 'Munshi' (teacher) Abdul Karim once lived at Frogmore Cottage.  

It is a Grade II listed building, with a large brick chimney stack, a bay window on the right, and a porch with herring bone pattern in the gable.

Frogmore House

Frogmore house has been owned by the crown since George III purchased the house for his wife, Queen Charlotte (pictured) who used it as a country retreat for herself and her unmarried daughters

Also within the estate is Frogmore House, a 17th-century English country house owned by the Crown. 

The house is opposite the cottage that Harry and Meghan are set to move into. It is only open to individuals on three Charity Open Days - the next of which will be in June 2019.

Though currently uninhabited, the Grade-I listed house is used by the royal family to host both private and official events. 

It was designed by Charles II's architect Hugh May. Construction began in 1680 and ended in 1684 for tenants Anne Aldworth and Thomas May.

It became a royal residence after it was leased to George FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Northumberland, the illegitimate son of Charles II and Barbara Palmer.

The duke died in 1716, but his wife remained there until her death in 1738. 

There were a number of successive tenants, including Edward Walpole, until 1792 when George III purchased the house for his wife, Queen Charlotte, who used it as a country retreat for herself and her unmarried daughters.

Queen Charlotte died in 1818, leaving the house to her daughter Princess Augusta Sophia, who lived there until her death 1840.

After Princess Sophia's death in 1840, Queen Victoria gave it to her mother, the Duchess of Kent.

Thereafter, Queen Victoria visited often, writing of the house: 'All is peace and quiet and you only hear the hum of the bees, the singing of the birds and the occasional crowing and cackling from the Poultry Yard!'

George V leased the house to his cousin Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia between 1925 (when she was escaping the Russian February Revolution) and 1937.

Since Xenia's departure, no major royals have lived at Frogmore house, but it is still often used by the royal family for entertaining purposes.

In 1997, following the decommissioning of the Royal Yacht Britannia, the Duke of Edinburgh furnished the house with pieces from the vessel.

The house underwent a £2.5 million restoration, completed in 1990, which revealed lost early 18th-century wall paintings by Louis Laguerre. The paintings illustrated scenes from Virgil's Aeneid.

The Frogmore Estate

Queen Victoria's Tea House at Frogmore in Windsor, Berkshire.

The cottage and house are based on the Frogmore Estate, 33-acres of beautiful gardens half a mile south of Windsor Castle. 

The estate is itself located within the grounds of the Home Park, Windsor, Berkshire.

The name 'Frogmore' derives from the preponderance of frogs which have always lived in the low-lying, marshy area near the River Thames.

The Duke and Duchess were married at Windsor Castle and had their engagement photos in the grounds of Frogmore.

Queen Victoria in particular was said to love the peace and quiet at Frogmore. She spent long periods there after the death of her husband Prince Albert.   

Queen Victoria's tea house (a brick pavilion building of 1869) is also located on the grounds. 

The grounds also include the Mausoleum of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, as well as the Royal Burial Ground where Harry’s great great uncle, the abdicated King Edward VIII, is buried with his wife Wallis Simpson. 

Since 1928, most members of the Royal Family have been interred at the Royal Burial Ground.
