Frogmore Cottage Ownership in Jeopardy for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have retained ownership of Frogmore Cottage despite their permanent move to the US, may face the possibility of losing their cherished home.

King Charles III is currently deliberating on the allocation of royal residences and contemplating significant changes within the royal family.

As discussions unfold regarding the primary office for the monarch, plans are also underway to streamline the management of the numerous stately properties owned by the royal household.

Speculation arises that the Harkles, as they are affectionately known, could be at risk of relinquishing Frogmore Cottage, a residence gifted to them by the late Queen Elizabeth back in 2019.

Recent reports suggest that a considerable number of royal enthusiasts are in favor of Charles' initiatives to downsize the monarchy, ultimately leading to reduced taxpayer expenditure on the royal institution.

In a new publication titled “The New Royals” authored by Katie Nicholls, it is alleged that Harry and Meghan initially expressed a preference for relocating to Windsor Castle but were eventually offered Frogmore Cottage instead.

Lady Elizabeth Anson, a close confidante of the Queen who passed away in 2020, disclosed that the Queen generously bestowed the cottage upon the couple.

She emphasized the significance of the Windsor property to the Queen, who expressed her hope for the couple to honor and cherish it.

Lady Elizabeth highlighted the proximity of the Queen's private garden to the cottage, illustrating the personal sacrifice made by the monarch in granting Frogmore Cottage to Harry and Meghan.

Furthermore, revelations from the book indicate that the late Queen reprimanded Meghan Markle for her behavior towards a staff member prior to her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

Allegedly, Meghan had engaged in an argument with a caterer over her vegan wedding menu, prompting the Queen to intervene and remind Meghan of the expected decorum within the royal family.

The incident sheds light on tensions surrounding the preparations for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding, with disputes arising over scheduling, announcements, and the selection of a tiara for the ceremony.

Claims from Valentin Lowe's publication detail a scenario where Harry became incensed after Meghan was unable to try on Queen Mary's diamond bandeau tiara due to the unavailability of her hairdresser.

This incident led Harry to express frustration towards Angela Kelly, the Queen's dresser, whom he perceived as obstructing Meghan's access to the tiara.

Reports further suggest that Meghan's insistence on immediate access to the tiara without following protocol regarding appointments with Angela Kelly contributed to the escalating tensions surrounding the wedding preparations.

The unfolding saga surrounding Frogmore Cottage, coupled with past confrontations within the royal family, underscores the intricate dynamics and challenges faced by members of the monarchy.

As the future of Frogmore Cottage hangs in the balance for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the intricate web of royal protocols and personal interactions continues to shape their journey within the royal sphere.
