The royal pair have lived at Frogmore in Windsor since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the United Kingdom, with a friend saying how Harry had suggested his cousin live in the property.

"Eugenie and Harry have always been close and they chat privately all the time," the friend previously told HELLO!. "It was Harry who suggested she and Jack could use Frogmore Cottage because it is much bigger than their cottage at Kensington Palace. It is a case of one family member reaching out to another."

Eugenie and Jack will be splitting their time between the UK and Portugal

Earlier this week, Harry and Meghan extended their lease on the property for another year. HELLO! understands the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to keep hold of their five-bedroom home in a move that could suggest plans for more visits to the UK in the future.

Frogmore Cottage underwent extensive renovation works in 2019 before Harry and Meghan initially moved in, converting the Grade II-listed property from separate apartments to a single-family home.
