The cost to the public was $3 million—but the true cost might be much higher.
Frogmore Cottage renovations in 2018-2019 cost about $3 million dollars and included significant changes to just about everything in the houseHarry and Meghan paid for a portion of renovations themselves, for things that would include cosmetic improvements,"anything moveable," and anything on the grounds.Oooo I love new house details.
There's no yoga studio or mom-and-baby yoga room . Apparently, Frogmore was converted from a single family home into five individual units, so it had to be restored to its"original form" first, which in itself must have been challenging. There was also apparently a ton of work needed for the heating systems , rewiring the electrical system , and new gas and water mains. “A very large proportion of the ceiling beams and floor joists were defective and had to be replaced,” added a source talking to. Apparently all that took about six months, which TBH, sounds really fast to me considering the house must have been at least partially gutted to change everything.
However, despite the substantial work,"'anything moveable' or in the cottage gardens has been paid for by Harry and Meghan themselves." So the couple actually dipped into their own accounts to help pay for the cost—including, probably, thatthe Sussexes added to their home."All fixtures and fittings were paid for by their Royal Highnesses," said a source."Curtains, furnishings—all that would be paid separately, paid privately.
The source added,"If a member of the royal family says, ‘We want a better kitchen than you’re prepared to provide with public money,’ then that would fall to them privately and they would have to meet the cost." The same might go for an upgraded wardrobe or bathroom, for example.We got a sense of how much renovations cost to the public : about $3 million, which is actually lower than the cost to Prince William and Kate Middleton's refurb on Kensington Palace in 2014.
