Here’s Your Chance to Visit Frogmore House, Where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Had Their Wedding Reception
If visiting the spot where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their royal wedding reception strikes your fancy, then you’re in luck: Frogmore House will be open to the public for just three days this May.
Located within Windsor Castle’s Home Park, Frogmore House has been a royal residence since 1792, when it was purchased by Queen Charlotte. Originally built in 1680 by Charles II’s architect Hugh May, the expansive estate has gone through several reinventions since then. During the 1980’s, massive renovations revealed exquisite hand-painted murals throughout the staircases and galleries. Named for the prevalence of frogs on the low-lying marsh area, the property is composed of 35 acres of lush trees, gardens and lakefront that draws an endless number of tourists each year. And with tranquil scenes like these, who could resist?
Frogmore House is also where Harry and Meghan took their stunning engagement photos. Don’t mistake it with Frogmore Cottage, however, where the royal duo will live with their soon-to-arrive bundle of joy.
From May 28-30, guests can frolic through the famed gardens of Frogmore, with their ticket prices going toward a different charity each day. On May 28, donations go to the National Garden Scheme. May 29 is dedicated to the British Heart Foundation, and the proceeds from the final day, May 30, go to the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society.
