In a surprising turn of events amidst the Prince Harry and Meghan eviction drama, Princess Eugene and her husband Jack Brooksbank have recently settled into Frogmore Cottage.
Initially, there were speculations that the residence would be allocated to Prince Andrew; however, sources reveal that the princess and Jack Brooksbank transitioned into the Windsor abode two weeks ago.
According to insiders cited by OK Magazine, Harry is thrilled for his close cousin Eugene and her husband.
Jack Brooksbank has been presented with a career advancement at the US-based Discovery Land Company, indicating increased time spent in the United States.
Despite this, Eugene, a mother to two-year-old August and expecting their second child, is resolute about giving birth in the UK and raising their children in England.
Whenever Eugene and Jack are in the US, it is anticipated that they will lodge with Harry and Meghan at their Montecito residence in California.
The sources suggest that while the Sussexes are disheartened by the turn of events, they are pleased that Eugene and Jack have taken over Frogmore Cottage, a place they frequented on and off over the years.
During a recent visit to California, Eugene and Jack met with Harry and Meghan, sorting through personal items left at the property and assisting in packing belongings to be shipped to California.
The news of Eugene’s occupancy at Frogmore has reportedly delighted her father, Prince Andrew, who views it as a temporary arrangement, as Buckingham Palace has not outlined long-term plans for their stay.
Speculations arise that Prince Andrew might eventually relocate to the Windsor residence, aligning with King Charles’s efforts to streamline royal expenditures.
Facing a reduction in his annual grant from April, Prince Andrew may encounter challenges in maintaining his current residence at Royal Lodge.
In a separate development, Harry and Meghan vacated Frogmore in January, following the release of Harry’s autobiography “Spare,” which cast a critical light on the royal family.
Journalist and biographer Omid Scobie shared that the Sussexes were taken aback by the news but have acknowledged the decision.
As discussions swirl around Harry and Meghan’s potential attendance at the King’s coronation in May, the couple confirmed receiving an official invitation.
However, uncertainties loom regarding their accommodation if not housed on a royal estate, although reports indicate a goodwill gesture from Charles offering Prince Andrew’s former apartment at Buckingham Palace to the couple.
