Final traces of Meghan and Harry 'are wiped from Frogmore Cottage' three years after they were evicted by the King

By JAKE HOLDEN, UK NEWS REPORTER Published: 00:47, 28 May 2026 | Updated: 00:56, 28 May 2026 The final traces of Harry and Meghan's time in their marital home at Frogmore Cottage are set to be wiped away three years after they were evicted by the King. The couple spent £2.4million on renovations to join the existing two semi-detached houses into one big family home after the late Queen gifted the property to them as a wedding present in 2018. Two years after splashing the cash on the home, the couple stepped down as working royals and moved to California in 2020. Harry had to pay back the £2.4million six months after this and was officially evicted by King Charles in 2023, weeks after Harry published his controversial memoir Spare. Harry now wants to return to the UK with Meghan and their children Lilibet, 4, and Archie, 7, but they no longer have a home here. The big move back depends on whether his taxpayer-funded security would be reinstated by the Home Office, which is still currently reviewing the matter after Harry launched a series of legal challenges against the UK government. Options are now being considered and one could be to subdivide the Crown Estate property as it was in the 'pre-Meghan and Harry era', it is understood. The building's separation is being assessed for viability, but construction has not yet begun. Insiders claim it would be a major and expensive renovation. The Sussexes joined two existing semi-detached houses and built a yoga studio when they moved into Frogmore Cottage in 2018, but it could all be torn down Harry wants to move back to the UK with Meghan and their children Lilibet, 4, and Archie, 7, but they no longer have a home there since they were evicted by the King in 2023, weeks after Harry's controversial memoir Spare was published 'Maybe if they get rid of any trace of Harry and Meghan, then someone within the royal household will fancy it,' a source said The disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was once billed to move into Frogmore Cottage after his eviction from Royal Lodge earlier this year but rejected the idea. A source told The Sun: 'It's been empty for three years. Even Andrew thought it wasn't good enough for him to move in. 'Maybe if they get rid of any trace of Harry and Meghan, then someone within the royal household will fancy it. 'It would draw the line under Frogmore Cottage's controversial history and return it to the pre-Meghan and Harry era.' Other renovations at the property saw a yoga studio being built, rewiring and replumbing the place, replacing ceiling beams with floor joists and fitting it all out with luxury furnishings - including a £5,000 copper bathtub and decoration by Soho designer Vicky Charles, featuring vegan paint. The works took a year and the couple moved in just before Archie's birth in 2019 but left for Canada later that year and the following January stepped down from their royal roles. Now, they live in California, but the Sussexes have been back to the cottage during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and for her funeral in 2022.
