The £2.4-million in British taxpayers’ money was used to renovate the home in Windsor intended for Harry and his wife Meghan before they gave up royal duties and moved to California

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, arrive at the annual Endeavour Fund Awards, in London, on March 5, 2020.Prince Harry has repaid £2.4-million in British taxpayers’ money that was used to renovate the home in Windsor intended for him and his wife Meghan before they gave up royal duties and moved to California.

A spokesman for the couple said Monday that Harry had made a contribution to the Sovereign Grant, the public money that goes to the royal family. He said the contribution “fully covered the necessary renovation costs of Frogmore Cottage,” near Queen Elizabeth II’s Windsor Castle home, west of London.

He said Frogmore Cottage will remain the home of Harry and Meghan, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, when they visit the U.K.Royal accounts for 2019 show that £2.4-million was spent renovating the house, including structural work, rewiring and new flooring. Harry and Meghan agreed to pay back the money and start paying rent as part of the plans drawn up when they quit as senior working royals in March.

They recently bought a house in Santa Barbara, California and last week announced a deal with Netflix to produce a range of films and series for the streaming service. Having left Britain's royal family behind, Prince Harry and wife Meghan go Hollywood with a new production deal at Netflix.Our Morning Update and Evening Update newsletters are written by Globe editors, giving you a concise summary of the day’s most important headlines.

Harry and Meghan - two of the most whiny, petulant, preachy, privileged people on the planet.

With the 3 million he received from Disney for elephant documentary that was supposed to be donated to charity ?

Nice if Trudeau did the same.

Repaid with taxpayers money....

With what money? Queen's allowance?

'Harry repays taxpayer home loan, using salary from taxpayers.' Can't make this stuff up.

*as he calls it a 'contribution' in a bid to deduct it from his taxes....*
