King Charles 'evicts' Harry and Meghan from Frogmore as report says keys offered to Andrew

Royal news rumbles on this week as reports circulate that Prince Harry and Meghan have been 'removed' from Frogmore Cottage, with the King offering the Windsor property to his brother, Prince Andrew.

Nottinghamshire Live parent publication, the Mirror reported on claims that Charles has made the decision to remove the Sussexes from the Windsor address, and that the couple are now arranging for the belongings to be sent to their home in California.

The news follows the latest string of interviews after Harry's 'tell all' book Spare was published in January. The royal spared no family feelings, publishing his 'truth' about the 'firm' and sharing intimate details of his personal and royal life.

The couple stepped back as working royals, moving from the UK in 2020. Since then, the Duke of Sussex and his wife have regularly spoken publicly in the United States about differences with the Royal Family through interviews, a Netflix docu-series and memoir.

With reports that Harry and Meghan are arranging for the belongings that they still have at Frogmore Cottage to be sent to their home in California it would appear, according to a royal insider speaking to The Sun that the move "surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK."

The Mirror wrote that King Charles III's decision to "evict the Sussexes" also throws doubt on whether the couple will be seen at the King's Coronation in May. Harry is claimed to be "demanding" a summit to discuss ongoing issues ahead of any coronation gathering. However, any idea of an apology to Harry does not appear on the cards from Charles or William.

A source, said to be a family friend, told The Mail: "I hear that William has no intention whatsoever of apologising and remains incandescent, especially around the way his wife, the Princess of Wales, has been treated."

What could happen to Frogmore Cottage now? Well, it is claimed that Prince Andrew has been offered the Windsor home instead. It is unclear whether Andrew has agreed to move into Frogmore Cottage with reports that he is “resisting”.

The late Queen gifted Frogmore Cottage to Harry and Meghan following their wedding back in 2018. It was converted into one home in 2019, having previously been five separate properties for staff working on the Windsor Estate. At the time, the whole renovation cost the Sovereign Grant £2.4million. The property is thought to have five bedrooms, a kitchen, a sitting room and a nursery first designed for their son Archie.

A royal insider was reported as saying: “Andrew is resisting the idea of moving into Frogmore Cottage after he was offered it last week. But it shows Harry and Meghan are powerless to stop the eviction".
