Harry and Meghan's £2.4m revamp of Frogmore Cottage could be reversed as plans for empty house considered

Assessments are under way to see whether the empty royal property can be divided again after a £2.4 million refurbishment.

  • The Royal Household is exploring plans to subdivide Frogmore Cottage back into five separate residential units, The Sun reports, with assessments underway to determine viable options for the Grade II-listed property in Windsor Castle's Home Park.
  • In 2018, the estate underwent a £2.4 million overhaul to create a single residence for Harry and Meghan, who occupied it for only around 10 months before relocating to California and later repaying the renovation costs to the Sovereign Grant.
  • Following the 2023 release of the Duke's memoir Spare, the King asked the Duke and Duchess to vacate their only UK base, a decision interpreted as a rebuke to his son who has since criticized the monarchy from North America.
  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor turned down an offer to relocate to the cottage from the Royal Lodge mansion, choosing instead to remain on the King's private Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
  • No building work has started as the exploration aims only to ensure future occupancy, with assessments ongoing to determine if subdivision represents the most viable option among a range of possibilities.
