See the palace's response after Prince Harry and Meghan's planning permission application was revealed...
A spokeswoman for the couple has spoken out July 19, 2019 - 16:09 BST Ainhoa Barcelona Buckingham Palace has released a statement after it emerged that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have submitted a retrospective planning application for the garden of their home, Frogmore Cottage.
A spokeswoman for Buckingham Palace has since responded, saying that the language used – in other words Harry and Meghan's request for privacy – is "standard" for royal residences. The spokeswoman said: "The letter that was submitted to the council, and the language that was used, is standard for planning applications for all royal residences. In keeping with the usual process, the details are not released for security reasons.
Under planning law, a retrospective planning application is needed if a change is made that requires planning permission. If it is refused the local authority can issue an enforcement notice requiring the changes to be reversed. But it is likely the team carrying out the work on Harry and Meghan's home have been keeping the local authority aware of any changes and the application is a formality.
