Royals Harry and Meghan are asked to leave their British homeland
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have been asked to vacate their home in the UK, suggesting that relations with the royal family are strained amid preparations for the coronation of his father, King Charles III.
Frogmore Cottage, in the grounds of Windsor Castle west of London, was intended to be the couple’s primary residence before they gave up royal duties and moved to Southern California. The Sun newspaper reported that Charles began the eviction process on Jan. 11, the day after Harry’s explosive memoir, Spare, was published.
“We can confirm that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been asked to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage,” a spokesman for the couple said in a statement.
Revelations Harry made in “Spare” deepened the rift between him and his family. The book included his account of private conversations with his father and brother Prince William.
After leaving the UK, Harry and Meghan had said Frogmore Cottage would remain their base when they visited the UK
In September 2020, a spokesman announced that the couple had repaid £2.4million ($3.2million) in UK taxpayer money, which was used to refurbish the home while they were working royal family members.
The money “fully covered the cost of the renovation,” the spokesman said.
