The news about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s eviction from Frogmore Cottage took many by surprise. King Charles III has decided to leave the Duke and Duchess of Sussex without an official residence in the UK.
Frogmore Cottage had been a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth II to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who after an expensive refurbishment lived only a few months in it as they announced they would be relinquishing their official duties to the monarchy. The house had become their refuge when they returned to England after moving to the United States.
