The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s rental contract for their UK home represents a “good deal” for the taxpayer, a senior palace source has said.
Meghan and Harry paid £2.4 million to cover the refurbishment and rental of Frogmore Cottage, on the Home Park Estate at Windsor Castle, a property they may only have used once since relocating to the US two years ago.
The couple are funding the general upkeep of their former home, like maintaining the garden, with the Sovereign Grant, the funding system for the monarchy and royal building works, effectively acting as the “landlord”, undertaking major works like a normal tenant-landlord relationship.
