It was confirmed on Monday that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have repaid the taxpayer-funded renovation costs for the Frogmore Cottage. The Cottage was renovated for around $3 million when the couple moved in April of 2019, right after the birth of their child, Archie.

In a statement on Monday, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told PEOPLE that Prince Harry “fully covered” the renovation costs. The costs had originally been paid by the Sovereign Grant, the U.K. fund set aside for royals that is fueled by taxpayers.

“A contribution has been made to the Sovereign Grant by the Duke of Sussex,” the statement said. “This contribution as originally offered by Prince Harry has fully covered the necessary renovation costs of Frogmore Cottage, a property of Her Majesty The Queen, and will remain the U.K. residence of the Duke and his family.”
