Despite moving back into Ivy Cottage, Eugenie and Jack - along with their two-year-old son - have also been staying at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.

They moved into Frogmore Cottage - which was formerly occupied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - during her pregnancy.

However, with her due date drawing in, the couple decided to move back into Ivy Cottage to be closer to the London-based hospital.

Ivy Cottage also holds some sweet memories for the couple as it was their first home together. The couple officially lived in Ivy Cottage for two and a half years.

The Cottage is also a short drive away from Royal Lodge - the home where she grew up with her sister Princess Beatrice.

Royal Lodge is also still the home of her parents - Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

Although they divorced in 1996, the former couple still live together.

Ivy Cottage is also close to Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace - which is the London residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
