It is understood that no decisions have been made yet and that no building work on the listed Berkshire property has started, but that the exploration is looking at options to ensure future occupancy.
While no future tenants for the Sussexes’ former home have been identified, funds for changing the structure would fall to the Crown Estate.
The couple moved in just weeks before the birth of their first child, Prince Archie, in May 2019.
They had carefully renovated the marital home to their own personal taste and hired Vicky Charles, an interior designer who worked with Soho House, to transform it.
However, the King evicted the Duke and Duchess from the cottage at the beginning of 2023, just days after the publication of Spare, the Duke’s memoir, and gave them until early summer to vacate all their belongings.
The Duke last stayed the night at his former UK base in June of that year, when he returned to give evidence in his High Court phone-hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapers.
