Meghan and Prince Harry ‘are OK about leaving Frogmore Cottage, source says
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are 'OK' about leaving Frogmore Cottage following Buckingham Palace's eviction notice, a source has revealed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were allegedly given 'weeks' to pack up their British home after Harry's memoir Spare hit the shelves in January.
According to reports, the King, 74, made the decision shortly after the publication of Prince Harry’s book Spare – with sources claiming that the Duke’s criticisms of his step-mother, Queen Consort Camilla, by calling her an "wicked stepmother" had been the “last straw”.
Since then, it has been revealed that Harry and Meghan are "OK" with leaving Frogmore Cottage, believing that "if we need to move out, we will get ourselves out", according to The Times.
According to reports, the King wants the Duke and Duchess of Sussex out of Frogmore Cottage before his Coronation in May.
Meghan and Harry were said to have acknowledged 'they were very privileged' to have a home in the UK and in the US, but accepted it was 'not going to work for them'.
"The most alarming thing was that it was a gift from Her Majesty the Queen, and now it is no longer that. But it’s OK," a second source told the publication.
It was reported that Frogmore Cottage will instead be offered to Prince Andrew, 63, after it was revealed the Duke of York is set to be moved from Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, where he has lived since 2003.
However, Andrew is reportedly telling friends there’s “no chance” he’ll be leaving the house after spending millions on renovations.
A source said: “He [said] he’s not leaving, there is no chance that will happen and even if the King wanted him how would that work?
“The King won’t evict him so there is no chance it will come to that.”
Royal expert and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop said many people in Britain felt "gleeful" on learning of the King's tough stance with Harry and Meghan.
However, Dr Dunlop believes the move has gone against the wishes of Harry's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who tried to keep him on board.
She told The Mirror: "On one level the vitriol is understandable. Prince Harry had just lobbed several verbal hand grenades at his family and the former institution to which he belonged. But he did so from a position of weakness, on the outside, in pain and feeling side-lined.”
