The latest British royal soap opera drama reveals that King Charles III is evicting Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, from Frogmore Cottage, their home in the UK since 2018, and is planning to give the royal residence to his disgraced brother, Prince Andrew.
Frogmore Cottage was given to the couple as a wedding present by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2018. Since leaving the United Kingdom in 2020, the royal couple has been residing in the United States.
According to a royal insider, the King began the eviction process in January, a day after Prince Harry’s gossipy memoir “Spare” arrived on bookstore shelves and online.
In his book, Prince Harry took on the royal family, alleging that his older brother, Prince William, knocked him to the ground after a heated argument and that the Queen Consort was leaking stories about him and Meghan to British tabloid media.
According to a source, the eviction meant that Harry and Meghan would no longer have a place to stay in the UK because the King had not offered the couple an alternative home on the vast royal estate.
The couple has yet to respond to the eviction. They intend to ship the rest of their belongings to their US residence, which has been their home since they retired from royal duties in 2020.
Frogmore Cottage has been offered to King Charles’ younger brother, Prince Andrew. The move would be a significant step down from Andrew’s Royal Lodge residence. It’s rumored that King Charles wants to kick his disgraced brother out of the 30-bedroom mansion with a pool on a 98-acre plot of land.
Naturally, Andrew is said to be opposed to the move. After learning of his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal, the late Queen stripped him of his royal duties and titles.
According to sources, the King and his youngest son have not spoken since the release of “Spare” in January.
Prince Harry and Meghan were reportedly invited “via email” to the King’s coronation ceremony in the United Kingdom this spring. It is yet to be seen if they will go and where they will stay if they do.
