Most likely. Otherwise I suspect the Gloucester's wouldn't have moved out, as they did so (if I recall rightly) after H&M had been offered Frogmore so could have remained if using it more H&M was the main reason.
Recap of Royal residences:
BP - no one currently due to refurbishment. Offices for Charles and Camilla's staff and the wider Royal Household
Clarence House - where Charles and Camilla live and do some duties from while in London
St James - offices for Anne and Edward & Sophie and their staff as well as numerous parts of the wider Royal Household, e.g. the Chancellor of Honours. Anne also has her residence here (and has done for decades), Edward and Sophie moved their London residence (and office) here due to the BP refurbishments. Beatrice also has an apartment in the complex. Princess Alexandra also had an apartment here but whether that is still the case now, given how few engagements she does and that her own home is in London anyway remains to be seen.
KP - William and Catherine, still have their official residence at Apartment 1A (the old home of Princess Margaret) and their staff are based at KP (inc in some of the old apartment used by Diana), Eugenie at Ivy Cottage, Prince & Princess Michael at Apartment 10 (for which they pay rent), The Duke & Duchess of Gloucester's official residence is in The Old Stables (once home to Sir Tommy Lascelles), The Duke & Duchess of Kent at Wren House.
Zara & Peter - homes on Gatcombe Estate. Zara is actually at Aston Farm which was used by her father after his divorce from Anne.
Beatrice - reported to have a house in the Cotswolds.
Eugenie - use of a house in Portugal on the luxury estate Jack works for
Princess Alexandra - Thatched House Lodge in Richmond Park leased on commercial terms from the Crown Estate
William & Catherine - Anmer Hall gifted by the Queen and owned by the Sandringham Estate. Adelaide Lodge leased on commercial terms from the Crown Estate.
Edward & Sophie - Bagshot Park leased on commercial terms from The Crown Estate
Andrew - Royal Lodge leased on commercial terms from The Crown Estate
Thanks for the excellent summing up of where everyone currently lives tommy100.
I thought about who might be located in St James Palace when I was there yesterday.
Part of it had a constant stream of people passing by ... going to St James Park ... and another part had a large group of tourists being spoken to in Spanish, but ...
... the rest was completely empty and quiet, though you can get down to Green Park and an Underground Station through there.
A while back it was reported that Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas had also taken an apartment at St James Palace.
A couple of my photos from yesterday early afternoon ... the streets were empty just a bit along from the other side that goes to St James Park ... versus this side that has a small alleyway into Green Park.
