Frogmore Cottage

Oh No; I have just had a horrible thought!
Please not; M & H are coming back to claim it.
Doesn't H have to spend some time out of the US/in the UK, for tax reasons?

If the palace accommodation is having a "makeover" I wonder who is paying for it. As for who would haunt Frogmore well if we don't limit it to Frogmore residents but think in terms of family disgruntled with the RF there must be huge numbers. Maybe it's the Duchess of Windsor narked because they still won't accept Americans.

My guess would be it was only a temporary stay at Frogmore while their palace accommodation underwent a makeover before the baby arrives.

Is the move permanent? Maybe they have just moved out for the Christmas period. It does seem strange if it is permanent, they have hardly given it a chance.

I wonder why they moved to Frogmore in the first place.....If they really did.

They have cousins and friends in London, and Beatrice lives there .

Just what I was thinking Ellianne, there is a ghost!

Maybe that's why they've gone back to London.

But weren't they nearer to grandma Fergie and husband in Frogmore?

For a young couple Kensington Palace surely, not isolated in
Frogmore.

Following on from Calendargirl. Anyone know why Eugenie and husband have left Frogmore after a couple of months and gone back to KP to live?
Is Frogmore haunted? Whose ghost is it?

It must have been simpler when they all lived at KP. Surely it would have been like a fortress, security all round, but many of the RF in their own apartments or ‘cottages’?, so much easier to keep safe.

One rule... Or not. No favouritism at all.

There would already be security , and Charles stopped the two
sisters from having personal protection.

Unless we own the property and as taxpayers are paying for its upkeep plus security, I don’t think it is any of our business who lives there.
Oh just a minute, what about security.
I suppose we were paying that where ever they lived.

I'd be more worried about a regal sex pest than many members of the general public.

Then I apologise Alegrias. Wonder who the members of the
golf club are, staff perhaps , Andrew is / was a keen golfer .

I really don’t think the public would be allowed to wonder around

It was just a joke Annie, I noticed you'd asked the question twice.

I also notice there is a golf course between Frogmore Cottage and WIndsor Castle. If they can cope with golfers I'm sure they can cope with conference goers.

Alegrias2 my question was not a bait ,

It is close to Windsor Castle, what of any danger to the Queen?

People coming and going at any time, she couldn’t even take a
walk in the grounds.

What should have been done with Frogmore?

I'll take the bait Anniebach Here's some ideas.

Conference centre; hotel; holiday flat accommodation; hospice; respite care for children with terminal diseases; temporary accommodation for refugees; housing for the estate workers (which is what it used to be); office accommodation; opened to the public like Frogmore house.

I'm sure there's more, but we could start with this.

Presumably Eugenie and Jack will take over the rent that H&M were allegedly paying to keep it as their UK residence.

What should have been done with Frogmore?

Poor Eugenie, if she does have to put H and M up in her spare room on one of their flying visits to the UK, but I doubt they will be very frequent. She will be able to nip over regularly though and visit her grandmother and that will show H and M up for the hypocrites they are, as neither side see their child.

My family did this when one daughter moved abroad with her family... her sibling moved in, paid all the bills, mortgage etc (had to clear this with the lender) and it worked out fine.

Expect this is the same arrangement - if somewhat more £££

Yeah, sure they're paying the bills. Every penny.

Now, where is that eye roll emoji again?
