“The one thing that’s holding up some of the work is the eco/energy center at the heart of Frogmore Cottage,” the source explained. “It was important for Harry to reduce their carbon footprint as much as possible.”

According to the source, Meghan and Harry’s vision for their home is “city meets country — lots of muted tones, plush accents and unique pieces from around the world.” The source adds some “furniture and artwork belonging to the Royal Collection, which will be on loan to them indefinitely.”
