The long-running saga over the occupancy of Frogmore Cottage came to end on Thursday as a royal official confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally vacated the Windsor property.
Speculation about the future of the house emerged in January after a spokesperson for the Sussexes said the couple had been asked to leave Frogmore shortly after the publication of Harry’s royal-bashing memoir, Spare. The duke and duchess rarely used the property—despite spending over $3 million on renovations—after it was gifted to them by Harry’s late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
The couple kept the house as a base in the U.K. even after their move to California in 2020 following their decision to “step back” from their roles as senior members of the British royal family.
