The King has asked the Duke and Duchess to vacate the property, with reports that Prince Andrew could move in instead.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been officially asked to leave Frogmore Cottage, Archewell has confirmed in a statement. A spokeswoman from the Foundation said tonight: “We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage.”
Earlier today it was reported that King Charles had asked the couple to move out in January following the publication of Harry’s memoir Spare.
The book was heavily critical of the royals and made a number of damaging allegations against some of the Firm’s most senior members.
Despite relocating permanently to California with their young family in 2020, the Sussexes continued to stay at Frogmore whenever they travelled to the UK.
It is now thought the property has been offered to Prince Andrew instead.
Prince Andrew has been living at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, part of the Crown Estate, for over 20 years.
However as part of the King’s money-saving measures for the monarchy he is facing having his annual £249,000 subsidy cut.
This would leave the Duke of York struggling to afford refurbishments on the £30million property, which are his reponsibility as part of his tenancy agreement.
