Is Frogmore House empty?

Prince Harry and Meghan Have Officially Vacated Frogmore Cottage. In the annual Sovereign Grant report summarizing the monarchy's finances, the palace revealed that the couple's Windsor home was recently vacated and remains empty.



As of early 2026, Frogmore House remains an official royal residence used primarily for entertaining and as a historic site, but it does not have permanent residents. However, the nearby Frogmore Cottage is currently unoccupied following the high-profile departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. In late 2023, the Palace confirmed the couple had officially vacated the property, and while there has been significant speculation that King Charles III might offer the home to Prince Andrew, no official tenant has moved in as of February 2026. Frogmore House itself is famous for its Royal Burial Ground and its association with Queen Victoria. It remains open to the public only on specific charity open days in the spring and summer. For the rest of the year, it sits as a quiet, preserved monument within the Windsor Home Park, maintained by the Crown Estate but lacking the daily bustle of a lived-in family home.
