Prince Harry and Meghan Markle <\/a>were kicked out of Frogmore Cottage<\/a> when they made the move to the US, but it still sits vacant<\/a>, with one royal expert inquiring about the status of the royal residence.<\/p>\n According to the Daily Mail’s Royal Editor, Rebecca English, Frogmore Cottage is \u201cstill empty\u201d and \u201cthere are no immediate plans to fill it.\u201d It may pain the Sussexes that they were asked to vacate the premises and the royal residence still goes unused, but that\u2019s because King Charles has plans for it.<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: Meghan Markle’s awkward blunder after meeting Prince Andrew that left Harry baffled<\/a>READ MORE: Prince Andrew issued three-year warning ‘rumbling dispute’ over Royal Lodge emerges<\/a><\/p>\n Rebecca explained: \u201cAnd we all know that\u2019s because the King has suggested that as a home for Prince Andrew, and he\u2019s clearly said he doesn\u2019t want to downgrade to somewhere as small as a five-bedroom cottage with a beautiful garden.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Rebecca, if the Duke and Duchess were to ever move back, \u201cit is a property they could still use.\u201d<\/p>\n While that is an option, Rebecca pictured Harry and Meghan living in Clarence House, but at this point in time, King Charles and Queen Camilla use the royal residence as their home when in London, \u201cbecause of the building works at Buckingham Palace,\u201d said the royal expert.<\/p>\n Harry has openly talked about missing his family, but he hasn\u2019t expressed any interest in moving back the UK, not full-time.<\/p>\n Why is Frogmore Cottage empty?<\/p>\n It\u2019s a nice gesture to suggest Frogmore is available to them, but that would be up to Charles to decide and it seems the decision has been made, that he\u2019s saving it for his brother Prince Andrew, who currently resides at Royal Lodge, but don\u2019t let the name fool you, it\u2019s a 30-room mansion.<\/p>\n Andrew has been fighting tooth and nail to stay, and it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s going anywhere anytime soon.<\/p>\n It appears Frogmore will remain empty for the time being.<\/p>\n Where do Harry and Meghan live now?<\/p>\n Harry and Meghan currently live in the US, in a 14-room mansion in Montecito, California, and it doesn’t seem like they have any plans of Moving back to the UK any time soon.<\/p>\n It’s been reported that the Sussexes purchased a property in Portugal, which gives them a homebase in Europe, where they can spend time and be closer to their British relatives.<\/p>\n It would be nice for the Sussexes to have a place to stay when in the UK, but their visits are few and far between, which is one reason the monarchy doesn’t give them a royal residence, because they don’t live in the UK, nor are they working royals.<\/p>\n Harry is currently in Central Africa, continuing his late mother’s efforts in bring awareness to the dangers of landmines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harry and Meghan were asked to vacate Frogmore Cottage, which still sits empty, with one royal residence
