Harry and Meghan to pay back £2.5m used for Frogmore Cottage renovation

BBC World Service - Weekend, Harry and Meghan to pay back £2.5m used for Frogmore Cottage renovation

Duke and Duchess of Sussex will keep Frogmore Cottage but repay public for renovation

Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to reside at Frogmore Cottage but will repay public for renovation costs.

Harry and Meghan will be repaying the £2.5m used to renovate their Frogmore Cottage home, after announcing they would be taking a step back from royal duties. Queen Elizabeth announced late on Saturday the couple would also no longer use their royal titles, represent the Queen or receive royal funds. 

Also in the programme: Iran’s top female chess arbiter – in fact, the only woman at that level in all Asia – says she is scared to go back to Tehran, after she was accused of violating the country’s strict dress code, by not wearing a mandatory headscarf. And we talk about what age is linked to the miserable time in life known as the midlife crisis.
