Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be sparing no expense when it comes to their future home.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are expecting their first child together next month, are shelling out around $65,000 to soundproof Frogmore Cottage to block the sounds of planes flying from the nearby Heathrow Airport, according to the UK’s The Mirror.

Triple-glazed windows, which are said to be part of the royals’ soundproofing plans, can help reduce noise and prevent heat loss in homes, per the UK’s Eco Experts.

“You do get used to it, but sometimes it’s an awful racket. A few people have been round to quote for that type of soundproofing, but it’s a great upheaval and is a lot of money,” Karen Shawcroft of Windsor told the UK publication.

Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, have reportedly dropped over $3 million in renovations on Frogmore Cottage.

The five-bedroom residence, which is located on the grounds of the Windsor Estate, is said to include a yoga studio. An estimated $66,000 “green” energy unit will be able to supply electricity, heat and hot water, while a satellite dish will also be installed.

As for Harry and Meghan’s expected move from Kensington Palace, it has reportedly been delayed.

“It’s been all hands to the pump. The builders have worked all week whatever the weather. But they keep making changes, particularly on the layout,” a royal insider told The Sun.

“The word is they’ve been quite demanding, which is understandable as what homeowner doesn’t want their house to be perfect?” the source added.

April is said to be the now targeted move date.
