Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, vacated the 30-room property in January after renewed scrutiny over their past connections to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The estate in Windsor Great Park is now reportedly empty following the conclusion of police searches.
Although relations between Harry and his father have remained strained since the Sussexes stepped back from royal duties and moved to the United States six years ago, some insiders believe such an offer would be significant.
“This would be the ultimate olive branch,” one royal insider said.
“Charles wants unity. Offering Harry a significant Windsor property would send a powerful message that the door is still open.”
Still, doubts remain about whether the Sussexes would accept. One palace source cautioned that Royal Lodge carries heavy associations.
“Moving Harry and Meghan into Andrew’s old house ties them to a property that’s become synonymous with scandal. That’s a lot of baggage,” the source said.
Highgrove and family relations
Earlier reports suggested the King had also considered offering Highgrove House — one of his most treasured private residences — as a possible base during a UK visit.
