The drama surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, continues to unfold. In a shocking turn of events, King Charles has officially expelled the couple from their royal home at Frogmore Cottage.
According to reports, the move comes as a response to the couple’s decision to step back from their royal duties and pursue a more independent life. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living in Frogmore Cottage since 2019, following extensive renovations paid for by taxpayers.
The news of their expulsion has been met with mixed reactions from the public. Some have praised King Charles for taking a tough stance on the couple’s decision to abandon their royal roles, while others have criticized the move as harsh and unjustified.
The couple’s exit from their royal home also means that they will be forced to repay the £2.4m ($3m) sum used to renovate the property. The repayment will be made from the Sussexes’ personal wealth.
This is not the first time that Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from their royal duties has caused controversy. The couple’s announcement earlier this year that they would be seeking financial independence and moving to North America also received mixed reactions.
Many saw the move as a rejection of the couple’s royal obligations, while others applauded their desire to lead a more normal life outside of the strict confines of royal tradition.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Prince Harry and Meghan, and whether their latest setback will have any lasting effect on their relationship with the royal family. One thing is certain, however – this latest development is sure to keep the Sussexes in the public eye for some time to come.
