Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Frogmore Cottage remains vacant

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s former UK home, Frogmore Cottage, continues to sit empty, according to a recent source. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who now reside in California, left the cottage unoccupied after their relocation to the US.

A Palace official stated told the Daily Mail, “During the year, Frogmore Cottage has remained empty. I don’t think, at this point, I would speculate on who will be the future occupants of the cottage.”

There have been reports suggesting that the cottage may eventually be taken over by Prince Andrew, the brother of King Charles. Addressing financial concerns, the official added, “The Sovereign Grant has been fully reimbursed for the refurbishment costs of Frogmore Cottage when it was initially provided to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and, therefore, there is no cost to the Sovereign Grant other than some routine maintenance, but it would be required for any of the buildings”.

Frogmore Cottage, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, was given to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as a wedding gift by Queen Elizabeth II. The couple undertook extensive renovations to make the historic home suitable for their family, which was later reimbursed to the public purse when they stepped back from royal duties.

Since their move to California, where they have settled with their children, Archie and Lilibet, the Sussexes have focused on various philanthropic efforts and media ventures. Their departure from royal duties and the UK has been well-documented, and Frogmore Cottage has since remained vacant.

The future of the property remains uncertain, with no official announcement about new occupants. Prince Andrew’s potential move to Frogmore Cottage has been a topic of speculation, especially given his own shifting circumstances within the royal family.

For now, Frogmore Cottage stands as a symbol of a transitional period for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, reflecting their journey from senior royals to independent public figures in the US. As the royal family navigates these changes, the fate of the cottage, like many aspects of royal life, continues to draw public interest and curiosity.
