King Charles Evicts Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage
In the latest world news update, King Charles has made a decisive move to evict Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their residence at Frogmore Cottage shortly after the release of Spare.
The King's decision is not merely a matter of property ownership but may have deeper implications, as experts speculate.
Royal analysts suggest that the King's action could be a strategic maneuver to prevent Prince Harry from assuming a crucial role as Counsellor of State, a position that mandates the individual to be domiciled in the UK.
Currently, five Counsellors of State are designated to act on behalf of the monarch in case of temporary absence or incapacity, comprising key figures in the line of succession over 21 years old.
The group traditionally includes a sovereign spouse and the next four eligible individuals in line, such as Camilla, Prince William, Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and Princess Beatrice.
Nevertheless, recent additions to the list, Princess Anne and Princess Edward, cast doubt on the eligibility of Prince Andrew and Prince Harry due to their non-active royal family status and absence from the UK.
Renowned expert Richard Fitzwilliams highlights that Prince Harry's removal from Frogmore Cottage could jeopardize his UK domicile, a crucial factor for his potential role as a Counsellor of State.
Dr. Craig Prescott, a specialist in UK constitutional law, concurs, emphasizing the significance of maintaining UK domicile for such a position.
Prince Harry's original domicile being British poses a challenge in transitioning to a domicile of choice, notably the United States in his case.
The Counsellors of State hold authority to fulfill official duties of the sovereign, encompassing pivotal responsibilities like Privy Council meetings and diplomatic engagements.
The loss of Frogmore Cottage, a gift from the late Queen, could potentially leave the Sussexes feeling vulnerable during their UK visits, affecting their future travel plans.
Newsweek's Chief Royal Correspondent Jack Royston underscores that the significance of the cottage extends beyond mere accommodation, hinting at broader implications for the couple.
While the motive behind King Charles' decision remains unclear, it underscores the hurdles faced by the Sussexes as they navigate their roles outside the UK while preserving ties to the royal family.
The repercussions of this eviction could reshape the dynamics within the royal household, prompting speculation and discussion among royal watchers.
