The King has reportedly evicted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage, their residence in Windsor. Buckingham Palace let the Duke and www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1740755/royal-family-meghan-markle-prince-harry-frogmore-cottage-king-charles of Susses know about the plan to take away the property from them just days after Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare, was published worldwide, it has been claimed.

Meghan picked those colors to not stand out because of a lack of confidence in her role. She stated that she tried to avoid color so the papers would not target her for wearing color and "overshadowing" the royal family

I thought that was a load of tosh and another ‘poor me’ story.

She wore beige because she knows she looks good in it.

I have no idea if other members of the royal family would never wear beige. I cant remember ever seeing it, but since I love color, other clothing would have stood out more for me. Like Catherine's suit. But Meghan picked those colors to not stand out because of a lack of confidence in her role. She stated that she tried to avoid color so the papers would not target her for wearing color and "overshadowing" the royal family.

Her choice, but IMO she looks good in bright jewel tones. More so then beige IMO.

Omid Scobie is selling papers and books. Same as anyone who has written books about the Royal Family.

I see it all through the same lens, we have no idea the truth behind any of it and there are more people than H & M making money off their image. And the Queen Elizabeth's image. And Charles' image. And so on.

Everyone who talks about H & M, from palace sources on down, have 1 goal. Make money off of the back of the Royal Family. Do I blame them? No. But I see it for what it is. I do not pretend that any of them are telling the truth, just their version of it. As with everything in life, nothing is ever what it appears.

Meghan looked incredible at her dinner date last night as well

Yes I noticed she was wearing beige which she wears a lot and it suits her.

I remember her saying that beige was the colour she wore all the time when in the UK to comply with royal protocol - not wearing the same colour as a senior Royal.

Apparently she picked it because it’s a colour the others would never wear.

🤔

Perhaps someone should tell Omid Scobie imaround. He's the one whose expressed their shock and outrage oh and two other members of the RF apparently.

imaround Thu 02-Mar-23 19:55:33

Smileless - I don't understand why they would want it to be honest. They do not live there. Maybe it was a mutual agreement?

It is all speculation anyhow. All we know is that they do not live in the UK, do not "need" Frogmore and Charles (maybe them mutually?) has not renewed the lease for whatever reason. A mere blip in the lives of people who we do not know.

Smileless2012 Thu 02-Mar-23 19:55:02

Well do H & M ever do anything privately Joseanne?grin.

Joseanne Thu 02-Mar-23 19:50:02

Not a very "private" outing then Smileless!!

imaround Thu 02-Mar-23 19:48:37

I am in the US. Because I read about the royal family (all of them, not just H & M), it came up in my algorithm today. So did Catherine and William. I absolutely love that suit Catherine had on for the meeting. I was just trying to find the designer of the suit. Not that I can afford it, nor would I look good in it, but I enjoy talking fashion so it stood out to me.

Meghan looked incredible at her dinner date last night as well by the way. AT first I thought they were dining with Eugenie since she was in LA recently. But I do not think that was her. It was hard to see who it was.

I also thought that Sarah Ferguson looked amazing in People this week, though I wish they had not used so much photoshop on her.

Not sure how you got that out of my post of them not being in public since January 11th though? Everyone wants them to go away and they literally have not been seen in public from January 11th to yesterday. I saw something about another Steven Colbert interview, but I didn't watch it so am not sure if it was a new one or more footage of the one from January.

Smileless2012 Thu 02-Mar-23 19:46:40

That came up on my laptop earlier as a 'news headline' Joseanne goodness knows why. A very expensive private club with an annual membership of $4700 I think it was, they were either there as guests or are members.

Lots of references and pics of their happy smiling faces so perhaps not having their lease for Frogmore isn't bothering them at allhmm.

Joseanne Thu 02-Mar-23 19:30:26

Anyone has the power to make them go away, by refusing to purchase or support the papers that print the crap you all need to read so much and closing down the internet when you see it.
I'm curious to know which paper you read today that must have reported that M & H went out to dinner last night? I haven't read that in my choice of newspaper and no one else has mentioned it here.

Oh dear.

It is rather cringe!

@katie59 - Good for you! Now your $15 a month can not support them. I am sure Netflix looks at the risk of cancellations when taking on any projects. If they know that people wont pay for the content provided, they will no longer offer it.

Same with the tabloids.

JaneJudge Thu 02-Mar-23 18:35:17

I'm sure they'll all live

imaround Thu 02-Mar-23 18:33:36

Well, since I have posted maybe 3 times for or against them on GN, you are preaching to the choir.

My post was not so much about H & M as it was about the British people not letting go of the infatuation of negativity surrounding the couple.

FWIW, if they aren't going to use the house, then the lease should not be renewed. That is what happens to every other person on the face of the planet, they aren't special in that regard. I do not see why they would need it if they arent spending time in the UK anyhow.

But eviction never happened because there is no legal proceedings to be found.

Or by reframing from posting views for or against on GN maybe.

I cancelled Netflix when they asked why I said H&M

varian Thu 02-Mar-23 18:31:59

I don't think we need to worry about H & M running out of funds so we don't need to worry about them, we don't need to pay them any attention, we can safely ignore them.

Before visiting an apology is required by Harry from Charles, this will not be given, so presumably they won’t be coming back to uk. If they do they will have to do what others do, but we don’t have millions off Netflix or write a book savaging our families. Money is no problem for them, so one need be concerned, scrounges always manage.

imaround Thu 02-Mar-23 18:07:52

Also, Charles doesn't need to pay them off. They do not need the money. Harry made $20 million for his book. He has his mom's inheritance. Meghan had a few million in her own right before marriage. They have millions from Spotify and Netflix.

This is a middle aged couple living their lives, raising kids, working and paying a mortgage. They do not need to be "saved" or paid off by the royal family.

imaround Thu 02-Mar-23 18:03:39

"Very naive to think that anybody can be trusted not to leak information under the claim that it’s in the public interest!
Certainly not that pair."

Oh the irony in this statement!

So I was looking at this.

It is wildly reported that Harry & Meghan paid back the reno costs. Anyone should be able to look at the Sovereign Grant report to see if the money was paid back. Did Charles pay it for them? Maybe. But that is literally no ones business and is a rumor at best.

The original lease on Frogmore was paid through March 2023, based on reports. But I am also seeing that they renewed the lease in May 2022, which I can only see in tabloids.

It appears that, the lease is up in March 2023 and Charles has decided not to renew it. He did not evict anyone, that would take a legal battle. More likely, he has told them that he will not renew the lease and to vacate. But that wouldn't sell as many papers would it?

It amazes me that the British peoples still search high a low for any news they can use to denigrate this couple. They have not lived in the UK for 3 years now, do not take taxpayer money, make their own living live their own lives. They have barely even been seen since Harry's interview on January 11th, once in the background of a photo at a personal event and last night going to dinner.

But still, people look to dig up dirt and then complain that they never go away.

Heavens, buying off H & M could easily lead to future blackmail and with these two probably would! Harry is already asking for a public apology for Meghan from HM and P.W else they/he won't attend the Coronation!! Well, no apology, problem solved! Perhaps H can't quite understand that a good proportion of the the public don't want them to come, they are that unpopular!

Zoejory Thu 02-Mar-23 17:38:09

Glorianny

Please can someone post a link to the information that Charles paid the Frogmore bill. He gave them money but they paid the bill.

That's so funny.

So Charles gave them the money but they paid the bill.

OK

Harry and his wife are not exactly homeless and living under a hedge.
