Prince Harry was reportedly devastated after being kicked out of Frogmore Cottage by decision of King Charles III. Royal expert Tom Quinn says the Duke of Sussex was “absolutely furious and in tears” following the brutal eviction from his former residence in the United Kingdom. This new revelation confirms the ongoing tensions between Harry and the British royal family since his departure for California with Meghan Markle in 2020.
A decision experienced as a “cruel rejection” by Prince Harry
According to Tom Quinn, cited by the Daily MirrorPrince Harry considered his father’s decision as purely vindictive. “He felt his father had no right to do that“, underlines the royal expert. For the Duke of Sussex, being deprived of Frogmore Cottage was a “cruel rejection” and a painful reminder of the arguments between his parents during their divorce.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had left the UK in 2020 to settle in California with their children. Since then, relations with the rest of the royal family have deteriorated considerably, particularly after the publication of the prince’s explosive memoirs in January 2023.
Frogmore Cottage, a place full of memories for Harry and Meghan
Frogmore Cottage, located in Windsor Home Park, had been gifted to the couple by Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of their marriage in 2018. In his memoirs entitled SparePrince Harry spoke with emotion of his attachment to this home where they had experienced moments of happiness with Meghan and their son Archie.
“We loved this place. From the first minute. It was like we were destined to live there“, he wrote.
The gardens, swans and meetings with the Queen’s gardeners were among the couple’s cherished memories at this residence.
A definitive expulsion which crystallizes family tensions
In March 2023, a few months after the release of Prince Harry’s memoirs, King Charles III had asked his son to leave Frogmore Cottage permanently. The couple then stayed in the residence one last time in July 2023 before being evicted. Their remaining possessions were then shipped to California.
For Tom Quinn, this decision reflects the state of relations between Prince Harry and his family:
“Every time Charles puts his foot down, it seems unfair to Prince Harry. He believes that after everything that has happened to him, he should still get what he wants.” The royal expert adds that for many, “Prince Harry is just a poor little rich kid who acts like a spoiled brat. But he considers himself the eternal victim“.
A new American chapter for Harry and Meghan
Following this expulsion, Prince Harry recently announced officially consider the United States as your country of residence. This symbolic change marks a further break with his native country and the British royal family.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex now seem determined to build their new life across the Atlantic, far from the tensions and controversies that have marred their relations with the crown in recent years. It remains to be seen whether a reconciliation is still possible between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles III, after this final decision experienced as a real heartbreak by the youngest member of the royal family.
