UK Home Of Prince Harry, Meghan Ordered To Be Vacated
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, have received a request to leave Frogmore Cottage, their official residence located on the grounds of King Charles’ Windsor Castle estate that they use while in the UK.
A spokesperson for the Royal couple disclosed this on Wednesday, as a report from Reuters said the house had been offered by the monarch to his brother, Prince Andrew.
Buckingham Palace made the decision in the wake of the couple’s jaw-dropping revelations about Harry’s father, King Charles, his elder brother Prince William and other royals in his recent memoir, a Netflix documentary and a series of TV interviews.
“We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage,” a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said.
Prince Andrew, the king’s younger brother, was also forced to quit his royal role over his relationship with convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
A British tabloid, The Sun reported that Andrew wanted to stay in his current home nearby rather than move to Frogmore Cottage.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace said it would not comment on the report. A royal source said any such discussions would be a private family matter.
Harry and Meghan moved to Frogmore Cottage within the grounds of the Windsor Castle estate to the west of London following their marriage in 2018.
After stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, they moved to California to forge new lives and careers, but Frogmore Cottage remained their British base. They also agreed to pay back the £2.4 million ($2.9 million) of taxpayers’ money that was spent renovating the house.
Harry’s cousin Eugenie, Andrew’s younger daughter, and her husband were given use of the property after the couple left, but there were reports they had since moved out.
Since departing for the US, Harry and Meghan have seldom visited Britain, but they have made use of Frogmore on the few occasions they’ve returned, including for celebrations of the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee last year.
However, the couple’s relationship with the rest of the family has become even more tense since then, particularly due to the scathing criticism of the royals and their aides in Harry’s record-breaking book, “Spare.”
These disputes have raised serious questions about whether Harry will attend his father’s coronation in May.
Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has alleged that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt early on Monday morning.

“Long face sent killers my way, and I have not even posted anything. Bro, is this necessary? You tried to take my life. Really?” he said, visibly shaken in the footage.
The rapper further expressed his disbelief, saying, “I never talk anything he don dey send killers, what is he scared of! That means am right.”
Though he did not explicitly identify the person behind the alleged attack, his comments have fueled speculation that the incident may be linked to his recent controversies and publicized detention.
Recall that Speed Darlington had been released from Kuje prison, where he had been held for undisclosed charges.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has previously suggested that the Afrofusion star Burna Boy played a role in the rapper’s detention.
Authorities have yet to comment on the matter, and an investigation is reportedly underway.

Responding to the video, she wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight all of us.”
The media personality further vented her frustration in an Instagram story, urging women to speak out against the situation.
“I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family,” she posted. “No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her.”
Toke’s anger didn’t stop there.
On Monday, she shared another Instagram story, questioning 2Baba’s decision to make the divorce public at this particular time.
“Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them any purpose anymore; by all means, leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment?” she wrote.

She also suggested that the true details behind their separation would eventually come to light, adding, “We know what is going on behind closed doors. The world doesn’t know anything; it’s already been hectic with opinions flying around, and when I say we will fight for her, I’m not talking about the general public. A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell.”
Toke concluded her message by highlighting the importance of timing and empathy in handling personal matters, especially when it involves high-profile individuals like 2Baba and Annie.
“You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors,” she stated.
