Final traces of Harry & Meghan to be wiped from Frogmore Cottage as £2.4m revamp is reversed three years after eviction

THE last traces of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to be wiped from their former royal marital home.

Plans are underway to reverse the £2.4million renovations done for Prince Harry and wife Meghan at Frogmore Cottage, Windsor — three years after they were evicted.

The pad was converted from two semi-detached houses into one larger family property after the late Queen gave it to them as a wedding present in 2018.

The pair splashed cash on transforming the home — only to step down as working royals and move to California in 2020.

Harry paid back the £2.4million six months after leaving the royals and was officially evicted by the King in 2023, weeks after publishing his memoir Spare.

The couple no longer have a UK home, but Harry wants to return with Meghan and their children Lilibet four, and Archie, seven, if his security is reinstated following an ongoing Home Office review.

Options are being looked at and one may be subdividing the property, it is understood.

Assessments are being done to see if the house can be separated again, say sources, but building has not yet begun.

Insiders claim it will need major and expensive renovation to bring it back to the “pre­Meghan and Harry era”.

Frogmore is owned by the Crown Estate. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor rejected bids to move him there as part of his Royal Lodge eviction talks.

A source said: “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.”

It took almost a year to transform the home for the Sussexes — including creating a yoga studio, replacing ceiling beams and floor joists, rewiring the electrics, and installing new gas and water mains.

They moved in shortly before Archie’s birth in 2019, but later that year left for Canada.

The following January they ann­ounced plans to leave the UK and step down as working royals.

They now live in California.

The Sussexes stayed at Frogmore during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and for her funeral in 2022.
