Frogmore Cottage

Harry and Meghan's spokesperson said a "request" had been made for them to give up Frogmore Cottage, near Windsor Castle.

He is the banker, and there’s little anyone can do. The suggestion is, the Duke of York has been offered Frogmore Cottage instead. Those decisions, with Britain struggling in a cost of living crisis, will be difficult. With the Sovereign Grant under review, the King will be considering his financial assets carefully. It’s reported the King wants to move Prince Andrew out of his Windsor home, Royal Lodge. It remains an issue so contentious the couple are still fighting in the courts.

The Sun tabloid, citing unnamed sources, said the five-bedroom property had been offered to Prince Andrew.

It was not clear exactly why the couple were being asked now to let go of the five-bedroom house in Windsor. As a practical, day-to-day matter, giving up Frogmore may not matter much to Harry and Meghan. This eviction may throw into further doubt that he will be welcomed back into the fold. [Frogxit](https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21548936/harry-meghan-evicted-frogmore-cottage-king-charles/), the Sun tabloid, citing unnamed sources, said the home had been offered to Prince Andrew, who has been living at a larger royal property in Windsor. Frogmore Cottage is part of the Crown Estate, meaning it is technically owned by the monarch.

The couple lived in the 10 bedroom home on the grounds of Windsor Castle before leaving the UK in 2020, and stayed there during visits in recent years.

As for the report that Prince Andrew may be moving in, Buckingham Palace has not released a statement addressing the news, but The Sun reports that he’s being asked to vacate his longtime residence at the nearby Royal Lodge property. Extensive renovations were done to the Georgian-era home in order to make it habitable for the young family, but by early 2020, Harry and Meghan had announced their plans to step back from their royal roles and relocate to North America. The royal rift between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and his family may have just gotten a bit deeper.

The house used by Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Megan when they are in Britain has been offered by King Charles to the monarch's brother, Prince Andrew.

After stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, they moved to California to forge new lives and careers, but Frogmore Cottage remained their British base. However, Andrew wants to stay in his current home nearby, the paper said. A royal source said any such discussions would be a private family matter.

Reports claim move was sanctioned by King Charles, weakening Harry and Meghan's ties with royal family further.

– PA A spokesperson for the couple said: “We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage.” The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been asked to “vacate” their UK home just weeks after Harry’s damning book Spare was released, the couple have confirmed.

Harry and Meghan have been asked to leave what used to be their royal home in the United Kingdom, a spokesperson for Archewell confirmed on Wednesday.

In September 2020, Prince Andrew repaid 2.4 million pounds ($3.2 million) in British taxpayers' money that was used to renovate the home. Royal accounts for 2019 show that the money was spent on structural work, rewiring and new flooring.
