They repaid the taxpayer because they no longer wanted to do Royal Duties they had agreed to do.
Harry and Meghan Repay $3.2 Million for Home Renovations

Once upon a time, it was quite common for workers to have tied cottages. Examples include railway workers and police.
In more modern times PM, Chancellor, university bosses, and ministers of religion come to mind as still enjoying this privilege. A common feature, however, is that such people recognise that their tenure is limited and make private provision for future accommodation.
Contingent monarch resources have ample opportunity to purchase outright accommodation, should they so wish.
In the case of one mentioned above, it may have been more prudent to buy a house than to accept funding for home improvements and agreeing to refund this on quitting.
This really is a simple matter of folks failing to plan and take responsibility for their future, while clearly being in a position to do so.

Either they spent £2.4m or they didn't. I was stating that they did spend the money, and have since paid it back. I didn't start off by claiming they paid builders with their own money.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

My initial post says that they spent the money on renovations, which Vet says they didn't spend, by linking to an article that says they have repayed the money they spent.

Renovations were paid for by the public on the understanding M&H would continue public duties, they chose not to, so they didn't get free renovations and had to reimburse the taxpayer.
