Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Asked to Vacate Frogmore Cottage on Windsor Castle Grounds

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have been asked to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage, their global press secretary Ashley Hansen said in a statement Wednesday. Frogmore Cottage is located on the grounds of Windsor Castle in the U.K.

The couple relocated to Southern California in 2020, when they stepped down as front-line members of Britain’s royal family. The statement followed a report in British newspaper The Sun that claimed the pair were being evicted from the property, which is owned by the Crown Estate, and that it had since been offered to Prince Andrew, one of King Charles III’s brothers.

A royal source told CNN that any such discussions would be a private family matter. The source also said that when the couple relocated, they stated that Frogmore Cottage would remain their base when they visited the U.K. Buckingham Palace said Wednesday it would be offering no comment.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been living in the U.S. since stepping away from royal duties in 2020. The couple have been living in California and have been involved in various philanthropic and business ventures since then.

The news of the couple’s departure from Frogmore Cottage comes as the British royal family continues to adjust to the changes brought about by the couple’s departure. It is unclear what the future holds for the residence, but it is likely to remain a part of the royal family’s history.
