What Is Frogmore Cottage
Frogmore Cottage is a Grade II listed house on the grounds of Windsor Home Park in Berkshire, England. It is part of the Crown Estate and has been used as a private residence for members of the royal family.
Who Are the Taxpayers
As a Crown Estate property, Frogmore Cottage is not owned outright by the monarch in a private capacity. The estate is managed as a public business, and its profits contribute to the public purse. Taxpayers fund the Sovereign Grant, which supports the monarch’s official duties and the upkeep of occupied royal palaces.
How Funding and Maintenance Work
Renovation costs for Frogmore Cottage have been covered through the Sovereign Grant, which is audited and reported to Parliament. The Crown Estate is a separate entity from the government, and its surplus revenue is handed to the Treasury. The public can review financial reports and details about Crown Estate spending through official publications.
