Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to splash out a whopping £50,000 on a soundproofing unit for their new home in order to block out the noise from Heathrow jets.
The couple have reportedly spent a record £3million renovating their Grade II listed Frogmore Cottage which is situated in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
They were due to move into Frogmore Cottage, Windsor, this week, but workmen are still on-site and the huge white sheet over the house was only removed in the last few days.

The soundproofing measures are thought to include triple glazed windows, which will be handy in blocking out sounds from the 14 flights that pass within a mile of the house every thirty minutes.
Efforts to cancel noise from planes could see the couple's move in date pushed back by another four weeks, meaning the heavily-pregnant Duchess would move in just days before giving birth.
This week neighbours reported that one BA flight had passed over the roof of the cottage at 3,000 ft, with a Virgin flight passing over less than thirty minutes later at 1,800ft.
