The Duke and Duchess of Sussex handed over the keys to Frogmore Cottage, their home in the United Kingdom, to Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, it was confirmed Friday night.
While the five-bedroom property on the Windsor estate will remain the couple’s UK residence, they are said to be ‘delighted’ to be able to open it up to the pregnant Princess Eugenie and Mr Brooksbank when they start their own family.
The Sussexes will retain financial responsibility for the property and plan to stay there, along with Princess Eugenie’s family, when in the UK.
The two couples are known to be close, spending Halloween together at Meghan’s home in Toronto in 2016.
Frogmore is a short drive from the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, home to the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, meaning the new arrangement will allow new grandparents wide access when their daughter gives birth to her first child ahead of time. next year.
It is understood that the “private agreement” on the cabin has been discussed with members of the Royal Family.
It is unclear whether the 30-year-old Princess Eugenie will pay the rent for the property, which the queen gifted to the Sussexes when they married, but which is still part of the Crown Estate.
The Sussexes have already fully reimbursed the £ 2.4 million of public money spent on the renovation of the house.
The decision is a clear sign that the couple have no intention of returning to the UK.
