The Duke and the Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have undoubtedly severed their ties with the royal family. While some stand tall with the duo, most of them have turned their backs on them. Starting from elder brother Prince William to father, King Charles, none are on good terms with the Duke as they used to have before. In light of the same and their withdrawal from The Crown, the couple had long let go of their royal belongings. And on the same process, they also washed their hands off their famous royal abode, Frogmore Cottage.

Reports breached headlines earlier this year in March, that King Charles has been cutting down on the Crown. Palace officials revealed the newly minted Monarch is extremely selective on who represents The Crown and on what level. Thus, having slimmed down the members, and keeping track of each one’s expenses, he declared in March that the couple had been evicted from their Palace, the Frogmore Cottage. Later outlets revealed that Prince Andrew will be the new owner of the abode. 

However, it was not until yesterday that the couple officially vacated the palace. People magazine reported that the official note from the privy. “We can confirm that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have vacated Frogmore Cottage. The Duke and Duchess have repaid the expenditure incurred by the Sovereign Grant in relation to the renovation of Frogmore Cottage,” Keeper of the Privy Purse Sir Michael Stevens said in recent briefings. It is now thus a  “greatly enhanced asset,” left with The Crown, it added. 

When was the last time Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in Frogmore?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid a visit to England in June 2022 with Prince Archie and Princes Lilibet for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee festivities. It was during this time that the duo together stayed at Frogmore and celebrated Lili’s first birthday with a backyard party there. That was Markle’s last appearance in the royal abode.

Prince Harry, however, has been there a couple of times more. Reports have it that during his stay in the UK for the tabloid court case, he lived at the Frogmore Cottage before flying back home. 

What is your take on the matter? Do you believe the couple should have been really expelled from their royal base?
