Hey there, folks. If you’ve ever heard a plane fly overhead and thought, “Wow, that’s loud,” imagine living near Heathrow Airport. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly spent around $66,000 to soundproof their home at Frogmore Cottage to drown out the deafening roar of airplanes. But wait, there’s more! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have allegedly shelled out nearly $4 million to renovate their entire home on the grounds of Windsor Castle. That’s quite the investment, huh?
Now, here’s the scoop. Local residents near Frogmore Cottage, where Meghan (37) and Harry (34) are set to raise their little one, say about 14 flights pass within a mile of the house every half hour. Imagine that racket! Windsor resident Karen Shawcroft recently told The Mirror, “You do get used to it, but sometimes it’s an awful racket.” She also mentioned that while some neighbors have considered soundproofing, it’s a huge undertaking and expensive. “A few people have been round to quote for that type of soundproofing, but it’s a great upheaval and is a lot of money,” Shawcroft added.

Residents like Shawcroft believe that to ensure the couple’s home remains peaceful and quiet, Frogmore Cottage will boast triple-glazed windows. After all, if you’re going to shell out $66,000, you might as well go all out, right? This upgrade is just one of the many enhancements being made to the five-bedroom home, which will soon welcome Baby Sussex this spring.

And let’s not forget the yoga studio — perfect for Meghan, who’s always been a fan of staying active and centered. The property will also feature a "green" energy unit estimated at $66,000, capable of supplying electricity, heat, and hot water. Oh, and they’re even installing a satellite dish. Talk about modern royals!
Renovations Hit a Snag
While Meghan has enjoyed a seemingly smooth pregnancy, moving into their dream home hasn’t been as seamless. With just weeks to go until the former Suits actress is expected to give birth to her and Harry’s first child, the couple has been forced to delay their relocation from London’s Kensington Palace. The extensive renovations at Frogmore Cottage have taken longer than anticipated, throwing a wrench into their plans.
The original timeline would have given the expectant parents plenty of time to settle into their new home. However, according to The Sun, the delays might push back their move-in date to just a few days before Baby Sussex arrives. Yikes! That’s cutting it close.
