King Charles is evicting Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage
In a surprising turn of events, it has been reported that King Charles is evicting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their residence at Frogmore Cottage, which was gifted to them by the Queen in 2018.
According to sources close to the royal family, the decision was made after Prince Harry and Meghan announced their intention to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family and relocate to North America.
King Charles, who is set to ascend to the throne following the Queen’s death, is said to be keen to streamline the monarchy and reduce costs, and has decided that Frogmore Cottage is no longer necessary for the royal family.
The couple will reportedly be asked to vacate the property, which underwent extensive renovations costing £2.4 million in taxpayers’ money, and repay the renovation costs.
A spokesperson for the couple has not yet commented on the matter, but sources close to Prince Harry and Meghan have expressed their disappointment with the decision, calling it “unfair” and “petty”.
The move is likely to fuel speculation about the couple’s strained relationship with the royal family, which has been the subject of much media scrutiny in recent months.
It is unclear at this stage where Prince Harry and Meghan will reside following their eviction from Frogmore Cottage, but sources have suggested that they are likely to divide their time between Canada and the United States.
The couple has previously spoken about their desire to lead a more independent life away from the constraints of royal protocol, and it seems that this latest development may be a further step towards that goal.
