Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a home in the UK valued at £2.5 million, but they reportedly had to give it up. Before their wedding in May 2018, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a two-year lease on a property in the Cotswolds.
After getting married, the couple moved into Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, which underwent significant renovations.
While waiting for the renovations to be completed, they lived in the Oxfordshire property, which was valued at over £2.5 million in 2018. This home included a main farmhouse, a two-bedroom cottage for staff and guests, and a converted barn with two kitchens. The main farmhouse had four bedrooms.
Friends of the couple mentioned that Harry and Meghan enjoyed their time at the Oxfordshire residence, where they would walk their dogs and host friends like George and Amal Clooney in complete privacy.
Evicted from Frogmore
In 2020, after stepping down from their senior royal roles and moving to the United States, Harry and Meghan were asked to leave Frogmore Cottage.
Harry mentioned in his memoir that Frogmore was intended to be his “forever home,” but it ended up being temporary. Following the publication of his memoir, they were officially asked to vacate the property, leaving them without a residence in the UK.
“Harry was absolutely furious and in tears about being evicted from Frogmore he felt his father had no right to do it and that it was purely vindictive,” royal biographer Tom Quinn told The Mirror.
“Harry couldn’t see that choosing to stop being a working royal would inevitably mean being deprived of his royal residence.”
