Duchess Meghan + Prince Harry: Charles’ revenge? Kicked out of Frogmore Cottage

Duchess Meghan + Prince Harry
Charles’ bitter revenge? The monarch banishes her from Frogmore Cottage

It is the end of an era – and could mean the final break. King Charles, 74, pulls new strings. After the explosive revelations and open attacks by Prince Harry, 38, and Duchess Meghan, 41, in recent months, the monarch is taking consequences: According to “The Sun”, he is finally throwing his son and daughter-in-law out of their second home in Great Britain. Frogmore Cottage is said to be vacated. And the regent already has a new resident in mind.

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry already packed in 2022

But the plan does not seem to hit the Sussexes quite so unexpectedly. Already in September 2022, Meghan revealed plans to move out in an interview with “The Cut”. As early as June, during her flying visit to Queen Elizabeth’s platinum anniversary, †96, the royal packed up private things. She became sentimental: “When you come back and open the drawers, you think: ‘Oh my God, I wrote that in my diary there? And here are all my socks from that time?'”

A decision of my own accord, it seemed at the time. But now Charles is apparently putting his official stamp on the harsh upheaval. The Sussexes are said to have already received an eviction notice from Buckingham Palace in Montecito – just a few weeks after the release of their Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoirs. The property was once a gift from the late Queen to the newlywed couple. But after the explosive revelations of the two royal troublemakers, there seems to be no more room for sentimentality.

Have your belongings soon on the high seas?

The Sussexes apparently responded promptly: rumor has it that the ex-senior royals are already planning to ship their belongings to the United States, including an ottoman bench and a chaise longue. They were therefore not offered an alternative branch for visits to Great Britain. “This certainly means the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK,” an insider told the paper.

Prince Andrew the Unruly

The successor plan for the new use of Frogmore Cottage, however, causes a surprise: Prince Andrew, 63, who also fell out of favor due to his involvement in the Epstein scandal and allegations of abuse, is said to be offered the front door keys for the relatively modest residence on the grounds of Windsor Castle have been. But apparently he doesn’t want to be really happy about his older brother’s generous offer. He is said to “resist” vehemently against the idea of ​​leaving the Royal Lodge. “Andrew is reluctant to move into Frogmore Cottage after being offered it last week,” a source said recently.

He has been living in the spacious 30-room royal property for several years with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 63. After the death of Queen Mother Elizabeth, †101, he received a 75-year lease for her retirement home. According to reports, however, Charles now wants to cancel an annual subsidy of around 280,000 euros for his brother. Funds previously earmarked for the Royal Lodge and its upkeep. In short: The royal can no longer afford his beloved home.

How painful is saying goodbye to your second home?

For the Sussexes, however, there seems to be no turning back after the latest developments. “It shows Harry and Meghan are powerless to stop the eviction,” the insider said. How much heartbreak does that involve? Questionable! Not long ago, a second home seemed important to them. Their family would “always have a place to call home in the UK,” the couple said.

After all, Harry and Meghan once invested a lot of time, money and love in making their British home their own home. The ducal couple commissioned multi-million euro renovations after their wedding before moving in in April 2019. But after just six months, the two moved out again with son Archie, 3. The royal home had brought them no salvation. The Sussexes bid farewell to Britain, royal constraints and all the misery that, according to their trickle-to-follow revelations, it had brought upon them.

A short time later, Harry repaid the cost of the renovation to the taxpayer by leasing Frogmore Cottage for “several years”. In autumn 2020 he handed over the house to Princess Eugenie, 32, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 36. The two now live mostly in Portugal with their son August, 2.

Does the coronation invitation end up in the paper waste?

Do Harry and Meghan rate their expulsion as a surprising affront? After all, they apparently drew a line themselves last summer. An official eviction notice from the king, however, is a different story. It must be understood as a visible sign of the distance between the parties. For Charles’ coronation on May 6, 2023, the signs are likely to be stormy. An invitation to the historic ceremony could end up in a wastepaper basket in Montecito after the latest developments.
