Three months following their eviction notice from King Charles, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially cleared Frogmore Cottage of all their belongings.
Thursday, June 29 marked the couple's final farewell to their former U.K. residence, the place where they spent their initial months as parents to Archie. The annual Sovereign Grant report verified that the Sussexes had "only just left" the Cottage, now standing vacant.
The lack of an alternate British residence for the couple hints at their intention not to make a permanent return or engage in extensive stays in the U.K., a writer posited.
The California-based pair received the eviction news on March 1, confirmed by their representative. Royal author Tom Bower observed the shock it elicited in them, brought on by King Charles' demand.
Bower stated to a news outlet, "Harry and Meghan rattled him [King Charles] with Harry's controversial book and the interviews he gave." He rhetorically asked, "What did he [Harry] anticipate?"
"Harry desired the royal family to seek forgiveness on bended knee, but he's ventured far off, lost in the twisted wilds of victimhood," Bower further opined.
Simultaneously, Prince Andrew, Charles' disgraced brother, was asked to evacuate the Royal Lodge. So far, he has rebuffed the request and instead has commenced renovations on the sizable property in an attempt to delay the move.
There were expectations that Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children would assume occupancy of the home, but an insider disclosed that the family declined the offer, content in their residence at Adelaide Cottage.
King Charles, reportedly, is increasingly frustrated with his brother's defiance, viewing the property as an emblem of royal seniority and a vital asset in the family's holdings. "Relations between the king and his brother are at their lowest ebb," divulged another source. "The unforeseen battle has left him weary and exasperated."
ITV News documented the Sussexes' complete departure from Frogmore Cottage.
