LONDON: The house used by Prince Harry and his wife Megan when they are in Britain has been offered by King Charles to the monarch’s brother, Prince Andrew, although he has turned it down, the Sun newspaper reported onTuesday.

Charles’s decision comes in the wake of the couple’s damningrevelations about Harry’s father, his elder brother PrinceWilliam and other royals in his recent memoir, a Netflixdocumentary and a series of TV interviews, the tabloid said.

It said their former home, Frogmore Cottage, had now beenoffered to Prince Andrew, the king’s younger brother who was forced to quit his royal role over his relationship withconvicted U.S sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, Andrewwants to stay in his current home nearby, the paper said.

Buckingham Palace said it would not comment on the report.

A royal source said any such discussions would be a private family matter. There was no immediate comment from Harry’s office.

Harry and Meghan moved to Frogmore Cottage within thegrounds of the king’s Windsor Castle estate to the west ofLondon following their marriage in 2018.

After stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, theymoved to California to forge new lives and careers, but Frogmore Cottage remained their British base. They also agreed to pay back the 2.4 million pounds ($2.9 million) of taxpayers’ money that was spent renovating the house.

Harry’s cousin Eugenie, Andrew’s younger daughter, and herhusband were given use of the property after the couple left,but the Sun said they had since moved out.

Harry and Meghan have rarely returned to Britain since theirdeparture for the U.S., but have used Frogmore on the fewoccasions they have been back, such as for celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee last year.

Relations between the couple and the rest of the family havebecome even more strained since then following stinging criticisms of the royals and their aides in his book “Spare”, which broke records for speed of sales.

The disagreements have cast major doubts on whether Harrywill attend his father’s coronation in May.
