Inside Queen's giant home where she's never lived that opens to public next year

The Queen has many royal residences around the UK and is never short of a place to stay - but there is one home in which she has never lived.

Frogmore House has been a royal residence since 1792, but it is currently unoccupied.

The Queen has never chosen to live there because when in Windsor, Berkshire, she stays at her own castle.

Frogmore House gets its name from the abundance of frogs that inhabit the marshland around its extensive grounds.

It is also home to the Royal Mausoleum where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are buried.

The property is now used as a public attraction and the doors will open again in 2022 for visitors to admire the decadent interiors and incredible gardens.

But the inside of the home, which Hello Magazine reports is "full of precious art and antiques", is kept top secret as photographs are forbidden.

The residence has played host to important royal occasions over the years such as the wedding reception of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly and then Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Frogmore Cottage which is located on the same estate, was granted by the Queen to be the official residence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex before they moved to the US.

After "significant renovations" the couple moved into the home on the Queen's Windsor estate in April 2019, before their son Archie was born.

They have kept the property as their UK base after their decision to step back from royal duties and move to the US in 2020.

The couple have allowed Prince Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie to live there for now.

She lives there along with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their son, August, who was born in February 2021.

The Queen was seen heading to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor after Prince Harry landed in the UK ahead of a reunion with Prince William.

The Duke of Sussex returned for the unveiling of a memorial statue for his mother Princess Diana, commissioned to honour of her memory.
