In a surprising turn of events, it has been confirmed earlier this week that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been evicted from their residence at Frogmore Cottage.
Speculations arose that King Charles was behind this eviction, allegedly in response to Harry’s revealing memoir, “Spare,” which was released in January.
A recent study has now revealed that a majority of Brits actually support Charles’ decision to kick his son and daughter-in-law to the curb.
According to the survey conducted with 1000 participants, one in three individuals consider the eviction decision to be completely fair, while a staggering 49% believe it should have happened even earlier.
Furthermore, 44% of respondents blame Meghan Markle for King Charles’ choice, and an additional 60% believe that the royal couple will try to exploit the situation to gain public sympathy.
Surprisingly, more than half of the respondents claimed that they would have made the same decision as King Charles, and 40% believed that even the Queen would have taken similar action.
However, the Sussexes’ attempts to fight back against the eviction have hit a snag in recent days.
It seems that their Netflix documentary, which was intended to shed a positive light on their lives, may now backfire.
The Sun initially reported that a project titled “Frogs It” was underway, and a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan later confirmed that they had been asked to vacate Frogmore Cottage.
Omid Scobie, the author of the pro-Sussex book “Finding Freedom” and a prominent supporter of the couple, added to the drama by revealing that the eviction had come as a shock to Harry and Meghan.
Scobie quoted a source who described Frogmore Cottage as more than just a temporary rental; it was a real family home filled with personal belongings.
This image of a young family hastily packing up their lives, including sentimental items like teething rings and jubilee medals, tugs at the heartstrings.
Ironically, the Duke and Duchess themselves had recently presented a different narrative.
In a Netflix docuseries, they were shown inside their Windsor home surrounded by boxes, in the midst of packing.
The footage included shots of Meghan and Harry sorting through piles of books, the Duchess standing near what appeared to be the instrument of consent – the official document from the late Queen approving their marriage.
Another scene showed them looking despondent amidst moving boxes.
Another interesting aspect of this eviction saga is the revelation from journalist Alison P. Davis in a controversial Meghan cover story from August last year.
Davis reported that when the Sussexes returned to the UK for the Queen’s Jubilee in late May, Meghan secretly went back to Frogmore Cottage to pack their belongings.
This raises the question: If Harry and Meghan hardly used Frogmore, why did they need to pack up their things?
Looking at the facts, it becomes clear that Harry and Meghan have spent very little time at Frogmore Cottage since officially stepping back from royal life.
The Duke stayed there for only four days in 2021 during Philip’s funeral, and the couple spent just one night there in April last year when they visited the Queen en route to the Invictus Games.
They returned for five days of charity engagements in September, which extended to two weeks due to the Queen’s passing.
In total, they have spent no more than three weeks at Frogmore Cottage in the three years since leaving royal life.
Reflecting on the experience of packing up their former residence, Meghan shared with Davis, “You go back and you open drawers and you’re like, oh my god, this is what I was writing in my journal at that time, and here’s all my socks.”
This anecdote adds a personal touch to the narrative of their departure from Frogmore Cottage.
