Fans of the Royal Family were just 20 feet from Harry and Meghan’s new home as they toured the grounds of Frogmore Cottage.

Visitors got a glimpse into the lives of the happy couple and even tried to look through the windows of the estate in Windsor.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their new home in early May before the birth of baby Archie Harrison.

Frogmore House and Gardens is only open to the public three days a year as part of National Garden Scheme open days, with proceeds going to selected charities.

Lovers of the Royal Family didn’t spot the happy couple but say they walked right past their gate and took photographs of the house against advice of police, reports MailOnline.

Armed police are on site at all times and are prepared to shoot on sight anyone who crosses the perimeter around the cottage without permission.

Sunday Telegraph columnist Sophia Money-Coutts tweeted: ‘Couple of windows open and two shiny cars out front so someone’s there… Mad how close you can get.

‘Although how they’re getting Archie to sleep under this flight path is beyond me. Absolute racket.’

Despite the idyllic surroundings some residents complained about the number of planes flying overhead and asked how the new addition to the family can sleep through the noise.

Around 14 flights pass within a mile of home every thirty minutes due to its proximity to Heathrow Airport.

But Baby Archie will hopefully sleep through it as Harry and Meghan are believed to be spending £50,000 on soundproofing for the house.

More than 400 cars were spotted parked up near the cottage for yesterday’s open day.

Visitor Juanisa McCoy tweeted: ‘Windsor is so beautiful and cute. I can see why the Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry moved here.’

Liz Jones, 70, from Slough, Berkshire said the gardens were ‘top notch’ and said the National Garden Scheme is ‘something really important’.

Sandra Whall-Sudnick, 59, of Clarkston, Michigan in the US, was visiting relatives in the UK and decided to see Frogmore.

She said: ‘We were trying to look in the windows at the top of the house, but we did not see any signs of life.’

Charles Hendy, 68, from Ruislip, Middlesex, said: ‘It was beautifully laid out, manicured, extensive. Lots of wild trees. I would definitely go again.’

Money from yesterday’s visit went to the National Gardens Scheme and proceeds from today and tomorrow’s tours will go to the British Heart Foundation and the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society.
