Princess Beatrice gave Prince Harry and Meghan Markle permission to film inside the Queen 's private cottage, according to new reports.
The Sussex couple's controversial new Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan features footage of them inside Y Bwthyn Bach, an outsize wendy house close to Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
Originally gifted to a young then-Princess Elizabeth from the people of Wales in 1932, 34-year-old Beatrice was granted custodianship of the cottage by Her Majesty in 2010.
A close friend of Harry and Meghan's, the young royal is now understood to have "given [the Sussexes] the nod to bring cameras inside", according to the Daily Mail.
It is not known when this filming would have taken place.
In the documentary Harry and Meghan were also heard complaining about their time in Nottingham Cottage, a house in the grounds of Kensington Palace which they moved in to following their royal wedding in 2018.
The pair claimed the building - which had previously been home to Prince William and Princess Kate after they had Prince George - was so small that Oprah Winfrey was left shocked when she came over to visit.
"As far as people were concerned we were living in a palace. [But] we were living in a cottage," says Harry. "On palace grounds."
"Kensington Palace sounds very regal of course, it does say palace in the name. But Nottingham Cottage was small," explains Meghan.
Harry adds: "The whole thing was really small on a slight lean with low ceilings."
Despite knowing that his brother was the previous resident, Harry jokingly adds: "Whoever lived there before must have been small."
Meghan also said that her husband hit his head constantly "because he's so tall".
She adds: "It was a chapter in our lives where I don't think anyone could believe what it was actually like behind-the-scenes."
