The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, made his stirring trip to the UK for the third time this year. Although the high-profile visit was marked with heated wire acts and tough court trials, Prince Harry faced them undaunted. Nevertheless, he still has his ongoing hacking case against the newspaper group MGN. But as soon as his testimony and cross-examination were over the other day, Prince made haste and flew all the way back to Los Angeles. Although, his rush to go back to his family came as no surprise. What did shock the onlookers was his complete cold shoulders to his royal family. 

During his cross-examination, the Prince was reportedly staying at the Sussexes’ royal residence, The Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, But despite being in London for a while, Prince Harry did not meet or interact with his family, confirmed Independent. Having rendered off his legal obligations, he dashed back to Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon. According to the Telegraph, this stay at the Frogmore cottage was Prince Harry’s ‘last stay’ at the residence.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, had already left the abode in January 2020 after they were allegedly ‘evicted’ from the place. After that, the couple moved to southern California and bought a $14.7 million mansion in upscale Montecito. They now live along with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. It is believed that King Charles evicted the couple after Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir, Spare, was released.

What are the tensions between Prince Harry and King Charles, Prince William? 

Reports suggest that the King was not too happy with Prince Harry’s representation of Queen Consort Camilla in his book. In January, the reports confirmed that the Frogmore cottage will be given to Prince Andrew instead. The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, refuses to move out of his $37 million residence. He continues to live in the royal lodge with his ex-wife, Duchess Sarah Ferguson.

When Prince Harry came to London in May 2023 for his father, King Charles’s coronation, he stayed at the royal residence. However, the sources said that throughout the entire ceremony, Prince Harry and Prince William never communicated or interacted with each other. In fact, two hours into the ceremony, the father of two flew back to California. He had an urgent reason at hand, with Prince Archie’s fifth birthday falling on the same day. 

The tensions in the royal family continue to grow. According to reports, the decision made by the King publicly to express a wish for his grandchildren might be one of the indicators of the ‘strained relationship’ that continues to worsen..
