LONDON (AP) The Duke and Duchess of Sussexs home was renovated with 2.4 million pounds ($3.06 million) of taxpayers money, royal accounts revealed Tuesday.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghans residence near Windsor Castle, called Frogmore Cottage, underwent major work to turn five properties back into a single home for the couple and their baby son Archie. Fixtures, fittings and furnishings at the Victorian-era structure were paid for by the royal couple.

The figures were part of the release of the royal familys accounts, which showed that the British taxpayers spent 67 million pounds ($85.2 million) on the monarchy during 2018-19, a 41% increase on the previous financial year.
