Meghan Markle, Prince Harry officially vacate Frogmore Cottage after King Charles eviction

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially vacated Frogmore Cottage years after leaving their senior roles within the royal family.

Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, were asked to vacate the royal abode so that Prince Andrew could reportedly move in. Frogmore Cottage, on the grounds of Windsor Castle west of London, had been intended as the couple’s main residence before they gave up royal duties and moved to Southern California.

The news of the cottage's vacancy was confirmed in the palace's annual Sovereign Grant report released Thursday.

The couple lived in Frogmore Cottage during their time as working royals. The cottage was renovated for $3.2 million, which Harry and Markle repaid in full shortly after finalizing their blockbuster Netflix deal in 2020.

After they left Britain, Prince Harry and Markle said Frogmore Cottage would remain their base when they visited the U.K.

It's unclear where the couple would stay if they were to visit the U.K. now. Prince Harry previously traveled to London in May, without Markle, for his father King Charles' coronation. He also made a trip across the pond in June, from their home in California, to take the stand at London’s High Court for his lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror.

Seems to me he has a right to bitch if the Royal Family doesn't pay himback the 3.2 million he invested in the  place.

We enjoyed our little hotel near Paddington Station on two visits to London, if Harry and Meg are interested. Breakfast is included.

@sneakypete  I highly doubt the money came out of their pockets -- more likely the taxpayers paid for it.

I agree. And I don't even like Harry and Mehgan. That being said, the company I worked for had several upscale rental properties. The people that rented spent a boat load of money in many cases to upgrade to their preference. I never understood it...when they moved it was the property of the rental. Could be the same situation.

Exactly. The bitched and moaned about Frogmore and wanted it updated. When they left Royal duties there was a big uproar from the public and part of the agreement for them leaving was that they had to pay the money back.

@LadyLiberty

All I know is what I read,and I read THEY spent the  money.

I DO know that he had/has some kind of pension-thing going from either the Royal Family Trust and/or his Ho  Mom's trust. Maybe both.

She,of course has  some royalties coming in from a tv series  and maybe  a movie or two.

Prince Harry may ‘turn his back’ on Meghan Markle’s Hollywood lifestyle: report

Prince Harry may be looking to “turn his back” on Meghan Markle’s star-studded Hollywood lifestyle, according to a report.

The Duke of Sussex made his quest for privacy known ever since he and Markle officially stepped away from royal life in 2020.

And according to the Daily Mail, the exiled royal may now be looking to resume a subdued role following the axing of his wife’s Spotify podcast, “Archetypes.”

“The big question is how long before Harry turns his back on the showbusiness life, for which he is obviously ill-suited and seems entirely uncomfortable with?” Alison Boshoff wrote for the outlet.

Video: King Charles Leads Confused Biden Around at Windsor Castle Ceremony

After a moment’s gesticulation and words exchanged, the King appeared able to get the President moving in the right direction once again.



President Joe Biden called in on King Charles III at Windsor Castle on Monday on his way to this week’s NATO summit, being treated to tea and talk on climate change.

The U.S. leader was met with a parade and band at Windsor Castle on Monday afternoon, the 950-year-old fortress which is a British Royal residence and the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. The Band of the Welsh Guards played the Star Spangled Banner and Biden inspected the troops with King Charles III.

Biden appeared transfixed for a moment when he received a traditional sword salute presenting of arms from an officer of the Guards at the end of one of the lines of soldiers in the guard of honour, leaving Britain’s King Charles having to work to regain the President’s attention. Appearing confused, or even consciously ignoring Charles III, Biden seemed to be trying to engage the guardsman in conversation.

After a moment’s gesticulation and spoken remarks, the King appeared able to get the President moving in the right direction once again. In a break of protocol, after being shepherded away, President Biden threw his arm around King Charles’ back.

Harry and Meghan ‘know they’ve gone too far’ in royal attacks: source

July 12, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world in 2020 when they decided to take a step back as “senior members” of the royal family.

Shortly after making the big #Megxit to Montecito, California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a slew of projects where they disdainfully discussed their time in “The Firm.”

Royal expert Tom Bower now claims the former actress, 41, and the Invictus Games founder, 38, “know they’ve probably gone too far” with combative content after their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan” and Harry’s bombshell memoir “Spare.”

“All she’s got is the baggage of the Oprah Winfrey interview and her damnation of the royal family in various successive interviews,” Bower told OK! about Markle. “That’s why she’s been so quiet the whole year. She knows they’ve probably gone too far, and she doesn’t know how to get out of it now.”

I doubt Sparkle Farkel thinks or knows she went to far, those that habitually throw the race card never believe they are at fault for anything, especially when it comes to uppity White folk. And if she thinks keeping her yap closed for a few months will make it better? I am pretty sure the Royals and the Brits have a very long memory.

[LadyLiberty]

She seemed quite overwhelmed when they went back for the Queen's funeral ... as if she realized that she had really stepped in it by causing so much grief to someone who wass far more loved (as evidenced by the number who went to such great lengths to show their respect) than she will ever be. She had to go out in public in front of an incredibly massive crowd who she knew were aligned with the Queen and therefore despised her and her actions. It was also too late to change the publishing and distribution of Spare, or modify it's contents, so things could only get worse.  They've fouled their own nest with no one but themselves to blame.

 Prince George already knows he will be king — here’s how he found out
By Jane Herz

It’s not easy being king — or a prince in training.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s eldest son, Prince George, 9, is the next in line for the throne after his father.

But at such a young age, is he really aware of his royal duties?

In 2021, royal biographer Robert Lacey wrote in his book “Battle of Brothers” that King George allegedly learned about his future role in the summer of 2020, around his seventh birthday, per the Daily Mail.

And, according to a few palace insiders, the couple is currently “making George aware” of his future duties in “the best way they can” — making sure it’s not “too burdensome.”

“It’s a massive balancing act,” one palace insider recently divulged to People. “William and Kate are doing the right thing, protecting him so he can have as normal a childhood as possible, but he’s also dipping into duties as a future monarch.”

According to the outlet, the parents want to be able to give their kids as much of a normal childhood as possible, which includes “playing outdoors, experimenting in the kitchen and visiting the candy store.”

The source also alleged: “He’s getting firsthand experience of what it’s like to be a royal and a monarch and firsthand experience of being a normal boy.”

 Harry, Meghan are ‘devastated’ by Emmy snub amid run of ‘bad luck’: royal expert
By Samantha Ibrahim   
July 14, 2023 9:36am

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a comeback to Hollywood with their Netflix documentary series, “Harry & Meghan.”

Despite the show bringing in a total of 81.6 million hours watched, the project failed to score any Emmy nominations when they were announced earlier this week.

Royal expert Ingrid Seward recently claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are ‘devastated’ about being left out of the award show nods.

“But of course [the couple] will not show it,” the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine told the Mirror.

She added that the viewership numbers were “obviously not good enough for an Emmy nomination.”

However, the series did emerge victorious by winning a nomination for the Hollywood Critics Awards in the Best Streaming Nonfiction category.

“In the series, Harry and Meghan talk about the royal family as if they were the enemy, while they themselves are trying to save the world,” Seward went on.

“The series is an intimate look at ‘hardships’ they faced in their honey-colored, rose-tinted world,” she said.

“Meghan and Harry will concentrate in this and make it a positive, however irritated they might be not to be in the Emmy nominations,” the “Queen’s Speech” author continued.

She then shared her advice for the former actress, 41, and the Invictus Games founder, 38.

“They are having a run of bad luck in their working life. But ironically as long as they concentrate on delivering personal stuff instead of more serious work, people will be interested,” she said. “They have built a gilded cage of expectation around themselves from which it will be hard to escape.”
