The late Queen gave the royal pair Frogmore Cottage, a Grade-II listed 10-bedroom home in the grounds of Windsor Castle in Berkshire. The Crown Estate-owned property underwent renovations in 2018–19 at an expected cost of £2.4 million. Prince Harry fully reimbursed the Sovereign Grant, which had originally been used to defray the costs.

After giving up their lives as working royals in 2020, the duke and duchess now reside in California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. They kept the cottage and continued to live there in the UK, where they also enjoyed their daughter’s first birthday the previous year.

Who gets the Frogmore Cottage?

The Frogmore Cottage has been offered to Prince Andrew. Days after Harry released his explosive memoir, Spare, Buckingham Palace reportedly told the couple to depart the grounds in January. The second son of the late Queen, The Duke of York, resides close in the 31-bedroom Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire.

Following a contentious Newsnight interview about claims that he had sexually attacked Virginia Giuffre, Andrew resigned from his position as a working royal in 2019. He paid an undisclosed amount in February 2022 to resolve the civil sexual assault claim Ms. Giuffre had filed against him in the US.

Recent rumors suggested that the King was planning to reduce Andrew’s yearly grant, which might prevent him from paying for the upkeep of his house. According to a source cited by the Sun, he is reportedly refusing to accept the offer of the smaller home.
