Can Meghan and Harry Find a Home in the UK?

A Reader's Perspective

In a recent poll conducted by Express.co.uk, only 9% of readers believe that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should maintain their residence at the Windsor Estate.

The majority, 88% of Express.co.uk readers, support King Charles III's decision to ask Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to vacate Frogmore House, leaving them without a base in the UK.

This move comes after the couple retained the Grade II-listed royal property gifted to them by Queen Elizabeth II when they stepped back from royal duties three years ago.

Following the release of Harry's candid memoir, reports emerged in January that Buckingham Palace had issued an eviction notice to the couple, prompting them to evacuate Frogmore Cottage.

The decision could potentially complicate any future visits by Harry and Meghan to the UK, as noted by royal writer Jack Royston.

He emphasized that losing Frogmore would sever an important tie between the couple and Britain, making future trips more challenging.

Frogmore Cottage's significance extends beyond being a mere residence for Harry and Meghan.

Situated on a private estate near Windsor Castle, the property offers security against potential threats such as assassination attempts, terrorist attacks, press intrusion, and royal watchers.

Thus, losing Frogmore would mean more than just losing a home for the Sussexes.

Express.co.uk's polls, conducted from March 3 to March 7, revealed overwhelming support for King Charles's decision to evict Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage.

Out of 12,510 respondents, 88% agreed with the King's stance, while 11% believed the couple should not retain the property, and 1% remained undecided.

In a subsequent poll asking where Harry and Meghan should stay during future UK visits, the majority of the 12,581 participants favored the couple staying in a hotel (56%).

Others suggested the pair could reside in another royal palace (28%), while a minority advocated for them to keep Frogmore Cottage (11%).

Some respondents proposed that the couple be allocated a different royal property (5%), while others were uncertain about the best accommodation option.

The news article sparked a lively discussion among readers, with many supporting the idea of Harry and Meghan leaving Frogmore Cottage.

Suggestions ranged from booking a luxury hotel room in London to staying with friends during their visits, rather than occupying a royal property.

ITV's Lorraine Kelly suggested the couple rent a hotel room, pointing out that their multi-million dollar home in America renders a UK base unnecessary.

Users echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the couple's ability to purchase a property in England if they desire one.
