All proof of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s time at Frogmore Cottage will reportedly be stripped away.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex received the property as a wedding gift from the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2018. Shortly after, the newlyweds began renovating the home.

Frogmore Cottage, originally known as Double Garden Cottage, was built in 1801 commissioned by Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III. The Cottage is located in Home Park, a 2.65 square-kilometre royal park within the private grounds of Windsor Castle.

Originally the property included two separate houses, which were then attached in the renovation for a large family property.

The pair reportedly spent $4.6 million for Frogmore, including the rent and renovations, paid back to the royal family. Now, the property is owned by the Crown Estate.

The Crown Estate is a collection of lands belonging to the monarch, but not part of the private land holdings. Therefore, any money provided through rent funds the monarch by going back to the Estate.

Residents of a Crown Estate home are expected to pay rent unless the monarch volunteers the property.

Now, a source has informed The Sun that the Crown intends to strip the multi-million dollar renovations. The home has reportedly “been empty for three years.”

“Even Andrew [Mountbatten-Windsor] thought it wasn’t good enough for him to move in,” they said. “Maybe if they get rid of any trace of Harry and Meghan, then someone within the royal household will fancy it.”

Unfortunately, the Duke and Duchess didn’t reside in the home for very long. After exiting the British royal family in 2020, they moved to a $19.6 million mansion in Montecito, U.S., where they live with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

However, they were forced to formally and officially vacate the property when King Charles became the reigning monarch in 2023.
