Meghan Markle and Prince Harry given new home by the Queen

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been given a new home inside the walls of Buckingham Palace in London.

The Queen has bestowed her grandson the Duke of Sussex and his wife and their baby Archie their own suite of rooms in the palace.

After leaving the Kensington Palace household earlier this year, leaving the Duke and  Duchess of Cambridge behind, the couple set up their own office at Buckingham Palace.

But now the young family have been given their own rooms in the famous building and official residence of the Queen of England reports the Mail on Sunday.

The Queens sons Prince Andrew, who lives in Windsor, and Prince Edward, whose home is in Bagshot Heath in Surrey and Berkshire, both have apartments in the Palace.

We don't know much about the house, but there is of course a nursery for Baby Archie.

The couple reportedly picked a gender-neutral design as they didn't know if they were having a boy or a girl, and Meghan is believed to have picked vegan paints.

Some paints use milk products or beeswax as a binder and can be tested on animals before being deemed safe for use.
