The final traces of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly set to be wiped from Frogmore Cottage.

Frogmore Cottage, located in Windsor, was the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s home in the UK following their wedding in May 2018. The property was gifted to the couple by Queen Elizabeth II as a wedding present.

But according to reports, plans are now underway to reverse the reported £2.4million renovations previously done for the couple.

‘Last traces’ of Harry and Meghan at Frogmore Cottage ‘wiped’

According to The Sun, options are being considered and one may be subdividing the property.

Sources claim that assessments are being done to see if the house can be separated again. However, as The Sun reports, building has not yet begun.

An insider claimed: “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.”

Harry and Meghan’s ‘renovations’ explained

After the late queen gave Harry and Meghan the property in 2018, the pad was converted from two semi-detached houses into one larger property.

The couple splashed millions to transform the home. However, they then stepped back from being senior working royals in 2020.

Harry eventually paid back the £2.4million and was officially evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles in 2023.

Harry, Meghan and their two kids, Archie and Lilibet, now live in Montecito, California.

Prince Harry on becoming US citizen

With their life now set up in the US, Prince Harry previously addressed whether he has plans to become a US citizen.

During the Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know podcast, Hasan asked the prince: “Are you going to become a US citizen?”

Maybe if they get rid of any trace of Harry and Meghan, then someone within the royal household will fancy it.

After a brief pause, Harry replied: “Am I going to become a US citizen? There are no plans to be at this point.”

Hasan said: “Nicely done.”

Harry’s US visa has been a talking point since his move across the pond.

Following Harry’s revelations in his memoir Spare about his past drug use, the right-wing Heritage Foundation has consistently challenged the duke’s immigration status. The American think tank sought to determine whether Harry disclosed his drug use on his visa application. It’s something that could have led to his denial of entry into the US.
