The Queen is planning a lavish wedding gift for Harry and Meghan Markle, and it's not a grand donation!

If her highness has her way, which she most likely will, she might end up gifting her grandson and his fiance a grand cottage located in Norfolk, England

All eyes, at the moment, are on the upcoming royal wedding on May 19 at St. George's Chapel in the Windsor Castle. 

So far, the to-be-couple has maintained a harmony between the traditional practices associated with the nuptials of the British royal family and the modern alterations inevitable with the changing times.

Amongst the later, though, the most significant change that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have included is their request for a unique wedding gift. 

Instead of lavish presents, the engaged couple urged their guests to make donations to the charities of their choice - their way of expressing a united front when it comes to humanitarian works in the future.

Details of which were further included in the official announcement made by Kensington Palace. 

"Prince Harry & Ms. Meghan Markle are incredibly grateful for the goodwill they have received since their engagement, & have asked that anyone who might wish to mark the occasion of their wedding considers giving to charity, instead of sending a gift. The couple have personally chosen 7 charities which represent a range of issues that they are passionate about, including sport for social change, women’s empowerment, conservation, the environment, homelessness, HIV and the Armed Forces," the statement shared via Twitter read. 


However, we have enough reasons to believe that all this doesn't apply to one particular member of the royalty - her majesty, the Queen. If her highness has it her way, which she most likely will, she might end up gifting her grandson and his fiance a whole cottage. 

According to multiple reports, Queen Elizabeth is set to bestow to Harry and Markle the York Cottage, which is a sprawling property located in Norfolk, England. 

While nothing is official as of now, but as per royal biographer Duncan Larcombe, it's not an outlandish possibility. "[Queen] has a habit of giving property," he had dished to Cosmopolitan UK. "So there's every chance that Harry and Meghan might find themselves the proud owners of a nice property outside of London."
