Harry and Meghan left ‘stunned’ by King’s decision to evict them

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were reportedly left “stunned” when told of King Charles’s decision to evict them from their base in England. Omid Scobie, the co-author of an unofficial biography of Meghan and Harry first released in August 2020, reported the reaction the pair had after being told Frogmore Cottage was needed by someone else.

In a comment piece for Yahoo! News, the journalist wrote: “At a time when communication between Harry and his family has reached an all-time low, further details provided to the couple by the institution have been scant.

“The property, they were told, is needed for someone else. It’s news, sources tell me, that has left Harry and Meghan stunned, and at least two members of the Royal Family appalled’.”

Mr Scobie did not name who the members of the Firm shocked by the King’s move were.

Prince Harry and Meghan haven’t released an official statement in response to the claim of the eviction first appeared in The Sun on Wednesday.

The newspaper claimed the decision to boot Harry and Meghan out of Frogmore Cottage was taken days after Penguin Random House released worldwide the Duke of Sussex’s tell-all memoir, Spare.

The book included criticism against members of the Firm, including Queen Camilla, and laid bare the gap separating the Sussexes from the Prince of Wales and the monarch.

The Duke and Duchess lived at Frogmore Cottage for the most part of 2019 and have retained it as their official residence in the UK even after stepping down as full-time working members of the Firm and relocating to California in March 2020.

The cottage, renovated for the Sussexes in late 2018, is just a few minutes away from Windsor Castle and is covered by the armed police protection granted to senior members of the Royal Family.
