Harry and Meghan’s eviction confirmed
Harry and Meghan have been asked to vacate their British residence, Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of King Charles’ Windsor Castle estate, a statement has confirmed.
“We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage,” said a spokesperson for the couple.
Charles’ decision comes as just another stage in the fallout of Harry’s memoir, Spare. In the book, Harry made numerous revelations about the royal family, and none have taken too kindly to it, especially not when considering the couple’s Netflix documentary and TV interviews.
While Buckingham Palace has not yet publicly addressed the report, many have begun to speculate, and The Daily Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers told Today that King Charles III did in fact come to his drastic decision because of the book.
“Apparently the King has had enough,” Myers began, ”and whether he asked them to leave or told them to leave, the result is still the same.”
As with most recent discussions involving the royals, the question of whether or not Harry and Meghan would attend Charles’ coronation quickly arose. Myers seemed to be of the opinion that Harry wouldn’t dare, as this latest rejection seemed likely to be “the final nail in the coffin.”
“I have always said that Harry and Meghan have to have this big currency,” he added, “all they talk about is their relationship with the royal family, and you can bet your bottom dollar that relationship is in the gutter now.
"I can't imagine any of the family would want to see them, but you never know with them, they might turn up for a couple of days."
It was reported by The Sun newspaper that King Charles has offered the house to his brother, Andrew. However, they added that Andrew would prefer to stay in his current home.
"There are a lot of royal residences and pretty much not enough royals to put in them," Myers said of the situation.
"Andrew can't afford it, he’s having his wings clipped, and he's not going to get the big allowance he had when the Queen was still with us,” he went on. “Everyone has to tighten their belts.
"Andrew is still digging his heels in. He says he doesn't want to leave Royal Lodge, but I don't think he will have any choice at the end of the day."
