According to their spokesman, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been told to leave Frogmore Cottage, their official residence in the UK.

The spokeswoman stated, "An order has been issued to the Duke, and the Duchess of Sussex to leave their residence at Frogmore Cottage.

The declaration was made in reaction to a story in the British newspaper The Sun that said Prince Andrew, one of King Charles III's brothers, had been offered the house after the two were reportedly being ejected from the Crown Estate-owned residence.


The other day, Buckingham Palace announced that it would not comment. A royal insider told CNN that any such discussions would be a private family matter.

Prince Harry and Meghan continue to use the early 19th-century house as their base in the UK even though they currently reside in the United States.

The cottage is tucked away in the corner of the Windsor estate, west of London, and was a gift from the late Queen Elizabeth II to the Sussex family.

They refurbished the house and moved there before having their son Archie in May 2019.


The modifications, however, received criticism once the couple retreated from public view, and it was revealed that they had cost British taxpayers £2.4 million (or roughly Ksh 364.4 million).

They later returned the public cash after relocating to California.

The Duke and Duchess paid personally for all furniture, fixtures, and fittings.

When the Sussexes visited the UK last year, they stayed at the house and went to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the summer.

Prince Andrew lives close to the Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate.

The Duke of York also took a hiatus from his royal duties in 2019 due to the family's historic issue brought on by a disastrous interview about his relationship with infamous millionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

The pair received a request to leave the property a few days after Harry Potter's autobiography "Spare" was published in January, according to The Sun.

The 38-year-old king broke down the public's perception of him as the carefree, jovial party prince. He delved into the terrible aftereffects of his mother's demise, his use of drugs as a coping strategy for grief, and his difficulties finding love.

Several times, Buckingham Palace refused to comment on the memoir.

The autobiography followed the couple's six-part Netflix documentary from the previous year and an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

They revealed sentiments of being "stuck" and said Meghan had suicidal thoughts during her first pregnancy. They also claimed "concerns" within the royal family regarding Archie's skin hue.
