After Victoria died in 1901, her successor, King Edward VII, removed Karim from court life and ordered him to return to India.
The cottage also provided refuge for relatives of Tsar Nicholas II, who fled Russia following the Bolshevik revolution and the murder of members of the Romanov family in 1918.
In more recent decades, Frogmore Cottage served as housing for members of the royal household before becoming the official UK residence of Prince Harry, now 41, and Meghan Markle, 44, after their wedding. The late Queen Elizabeth II gifted the property to the couple, who moved there from Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace shortly before the birth of their son Archie in May 2019.
The couple later stepped back from royal duties in early 2020 and relocated to California. Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, subsequently lived at the cottage while expecting their first child.
Harry and Markle were asked to vacate the property in 2023 following the publication of the prince’s memoir Spare, which contained a series of criticisms directed at the royal family.
