Frogmore House is OPEN…
Frogmore House is OPEN…
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's one year wedding anniversary is fast-approaching, with the royal couple tying the knot in May 2018.
And while their wedding ceremony at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, will go down as one of the most touching in royal history, it was their reception party at Frogmore House that gave us the most FOMO.
The Tiki-themed party boasting guests from the Beckhams and the Clooneys to Elton John and Serena Williams, featured frozen strawberry sparklers, apache shooters, an ice luge and a huge firework display.
Drinks-wise, there was the 'When Harry Met Meghan' cocktail, reportedly a mix of ginger and rum, and in terms of food we're talking South African wagyu beef, dirty burgers, candy floss and ice creams.
Basically, it was an unmissable event - putting Frogmore House on the map.
It's hardly surprising therefore that when it was announced that the venue was opening its doors to the public, there was a lot of excitement.
