Work is actively underway at Frogmore Cottage round the clock as preparations are made for Prince Andrew’s anticipated relocation, as per recent accounts. The move follows Andrew’s recent relinquishment of his royal titles due to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, prompting increasing pressure for him to vacate the Royal Lodge. Reports indicate that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the previous occupants of Frogmore Cottage, invested £2.4 million in refurbishments to the historic property before vacating it in 2023.
According to The Sun, Prince Andrew has reportedly agreed to vacate the Royal Lodge and expressed interest in residing at Frogmore Cottage, while Sarah Ferguson is said to prefer Adelaide Cottage. This potential move would allow Andrew to remain in proximity to his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, along with their families.
Insiders have disclosed that extensive renovation work is underway at Frogmore Cottage, with workers present day and night. The property, originally constructed in 1972 by Queen Charlotte, has historically served as accommodation for royal staff, including a brief period when Princess Eugenie resided there. Despite being offered to Prince Andrew by the King last year, he declined the opportunity.
Buckingham Palace has refrained from commenting on Prince Andrew’s future living arrangements or potential relocation.
