The luxurious home to the Sussex’s that includes a mother and baby yoga room, luxurious bathrooms, grand kitchen previously consisted of five separate homes that were then renovated and converted into a house worthy enough for the Royal family. The new flooring and other mentions are a part of the new structure which now stands in place of the old demolished buildings.
A royal accountant shared, “Frogmore Cottage had not been the subject of work for some years and had already been earmarked for renovation in line with our responsibility to maintain the condition of the occupied royal palaces estate.”
