Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have been asked to vacate Frogmore Cottage, the house within the grounds of King Charles’s estate at Windsor Castle that they use when they are in Britain. According to The Sun newspaper, the monarch had offered the house to his brother, Prince Andrew.

Charles’s decision comes in the wake of the couple’s damning revelations about Harry’s father, his older brother Prince William and other royals in their recent memoir, a Netflix documentary and a series of television interviews.

“We can confirm that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been asked to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage,” a spokesman for Harry and Meghan said.

Prince Andrew, the King’s younger brother, was forced out of his royal position over his relationship with convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The newspaper reported that Andrew wants to remain in his current home nearby rather than move to Frogmore Cottage.

Harry and Meghan moved into Frogmore Cottage within the grounds of the Windsor Castle estate, west London, after their marriage in 2018.

After relinquishing their royal duties in 2020, they moved to California to forge new lives and careers, but Frogmore Cottage remained their British base. They also agreed to pay back the £2.4 million of taxpayers’ money they spent on renovating the house.

Harry and Meghan have rarely returned to Britain since leaving for the United States, but have used Frogmore on the few occasions they have returned, such as for the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year.

Relations between the couple and the rest of the family have been further strained since then, following scathing criticism of the royals and their aides in their record-breaking book “Spare”.
