Frogmore Cottage is on the grounds of Frogmore House, which may sound familiar because it’s where the couple had their wedding reception, engagement photo shoot, along with the beautiful photograph with fireworks that was released over the 2018 Christmas holidays. The name Frogmore derives from the abundance of frogs on the estate, which is inevitable given that the property is near the river Thames and is on a marsh land. Frogmore Cottage was built in 1792 for Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III, as a retreat.<br> And, later in 1887 by Abdul Karim an immigrant from India and his wife, who worked for Queen Victoria as an adviser and teacher, whom she was fond of. However, upon her Queen Victoria’s death, he was evicted and deported to India where he later died since he was not liked by other staff members and the courtiers.<br> After the eviction of Abdul Karim, in 1893 Frogmore Cottage was renovated, and its next famous residents were refugees from Russia.  In 1925, King George V allowed refugee Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna a relative of Czar Nicholas II, who was murdered along with his immediate family, to take refuge at Frogmore cottage with her family. Given that the grand duchess’s family was penniless after fleeing Russia, the house fell into disrepair. After the departure of the Russian Royals, Frogmore Cottage was divided into several apartments and was used as housing for staff. Currently the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has refurbished Frogmore Cottage where they will have ample space and privacy to live as a family when Baby Sussex is born.<br> King George V<br> <br> <br> Queen Victoria<br> <br> <br> King George lll<br> <br> <br> Queen Charlotte<br> <br> <br>
