This situation coincides with reports suggesting that Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice might be the next members of the Royal Family to depart from their royal residences. Previously, King Charles had already requested Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to vacate Frogmore Cottage. There were also attempts to persuade Prince Andrew to leave the Royal Lodge, although an agreement was ultimately reached, allowing him to remain.
Following Meghan and Harry's departure from Frogmore Cottage in the summer of 2023, Andrew's daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, have taken the opportunity to utilize the property during their visits. While Princess Eugenie resides in Portugal with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, and their two young children, she opts to stay at Frogmore Cottage when visiting the UK.
The insider further disclosed, "[Andrew has] graciously allowed his daughters to make use of the property when they visit the Windsor estate." Eugenie appears to be the more frequent guest, using the cottage during visits from her residence in Portugal, while Beatrice also takes advantage of Frogmore Cottage during visits to her parents or royal engagements. Neither of them seems inclined to shoulder the financial responsibilities associated with leases or other financial commitments.
