Prince William and Princess Kate have turned down the opportunity to live at the famous Frogmore Cottage where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle once lived.

Hello! reports that the Prince and Princess of Wales refused to live at Frogmore Cottage because it was “too small.” As a result, the late Queen Elizabeth gave the mansion to her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle in 2018.

Instead, the future King and Queen of England will reportedly live in Adelaide Cottage, which features four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with “gilded dolphins on the ceiling and ropes from the old royal yacht.”

Frogmore is one of the “smaller royal estates on the grounds of Windsor Home Park,” but Prince Harry nonetheless praised the place in his memoir, Spare.

“Frogmore was ready. We loved that place. From the very first minute.” It felt as if we were destined to live there."

“We couldn't wait to get up in the morning, take long walks in the yard and check on the swans. Especially grumpy Steve,” the royal continued. 'We met the Queen's gardeners and learned their names and the names of all the flowers. They were thrilled that we appreciated and admired their artistry.”

In 2023, the Duke and Duchess of York confirmed that they had been asked to “vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage”. The couple then posted a statement on Instagram confirming their move, along with a series of photos of the couple and their young family enjoying the residence.

According to Page Six, in 2023, after King Charles asked his son to leave the English residence, a reportedly distraught Prince Harry gave his father an ultimatum, asking: “Do you want to see your grandchildren again?

The couple was asked to leave after stepping back as active royals, citing security concerns and ongoing racist attacks directed at Markle reportedly from the press, media, and some senior members of the royal family, according to the couple.

In Omid Scobie's shocking book Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival), the author calls the decision to force Prince Harry and Princess Markle out of their home He called it “a cheap shot from a wounded father, bound by an institution that is often intolerant of human emotion.”

Now, years later, the rift between Prince Charles and Prince Harry is reportedly wider than ever. King Charles is said to have refused phone calls from Prince Harry, including inquiries about the Duke of Sussex's ongoing cancer treatment and requests for security.

More recently, sources claiming to be familiar with the situation told the Daily Mail that King Charles is seeking “spiritual guidance” regarding his relationship with his younger son, who is split.

“Faith has been part of Prince Charles' life and his quest, but it has taken on a more central role since becoming king. His reliance on faith and quiet contemplation has been a comfort and an asset for him, helping him cope with his role while adjusting to being king.”
