The Eviction of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage: The Real Reason Revealed
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced a major change regarding their former residence, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. The property, gifted to them by Queen Elizabeth for their 2018 wedding, is part of the Crown Estate. Originally built in 1801 for Queen Charlotte, Frogmore was transformed into a single-family home for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who paid £2.4 million for its refurbishment in 2019. However, their stay at the cottage was short-lived as they moved to the US in early 2020.
Recently, reports suggest that the Crown Estate is considering reverting Frogmore Cottage to its original state by subdividing it into multiple units for future occupants. Amidst this development, the Sussex team has allegedly disclosed the "real reason" behind their eviction from the property. Sources close to the couple claim that King Charles waited until after the Queen's passing to remove Harry and Meghan, as the late monarch would have protected them due to the property being her wedding gift to the couple.
Royal journalist Tom Sykes shared insights on his Royalist podcast, stating that the late Queen's reluctance to engage in confrontation may have influenced her decision-making. He highlighted the Queen's historical vulnerability to emotional manipulation within the family, suggesting that she would have been hesitant to evict the Sussexes. Despite this, Sykes criticized Harry for his naivety in believing that the Royal Family would not retaliate or exile him.
Previously, Prince Andrew was offered Frogmore Cottage as a smaller alternative to the Royal Lodge, where he holds a long-term lease. However, due to public backlash over his association with Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew was compelled to relocate to Sandringham earlier this year. The evolving dynamics surrounding royal residences and family relationships continue to generate public interest and speculation.
