The King evicts Harry and his wife from Frogmore!

Grany

Frogmore is state property, owned by the Crown Estate, which belongs to the nation. Why is Charles having any say in the matter - and why is he determined to keep giving his dodgy brother perks at taxpayers' expense? #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

We don’t know Charles is having a direct “say” but it is clear that the housing needs of the Royal family are taken into account by the Crown.

Yes Caledargirl and lemsip. I know that the Sussexes don’t own Frogmore, my comment was tongue in cheek. It was leased to them by the Queen because they refused to move into the apartment in Kensington Palace which had been renovated at great public expense especially for them. It has been said that this was because they refused to live next door to the Cambridges after the wedding spacs and according to Harry in the book, because Catherine didn’t reciprocate Meghan’s hug on their first meeting I’m not surprised because I would never hug someone the first time I met them.

I’d be more impressed if it was sold off and a hundred prefabs were made for the homeless

If it is true that Frogmore has been taken away without any alternative UK base offered, I would agree with that, because now that they have made many millions out of their new celebrity status they can afford to buy place in the UK.

I would not blame Charles for withdrawing the privileges they enjoyed as a penalty for dishing the dirt on the family.

no it is leased

.
Built in 1801 at the direction of Queen Charlotte in the gardens near Frogmore House, Frogmore Cottage is part of the Crown Estate, the monarch's public estate.

I din ‘t think the Sussexes had bought the property Maddy.

Why is it such a big deal ? I mean they don't live in UK. They own their home in USA . The lease was ended .

True or not the Harry/Meaghan eviction was reported over here on our national broadcaster. Not that that is much chop I guess. They are not popular here at all and they have also mentioned the Southpark skit.

Until recently I lived not that far from Balmoral, Zoejory and, yes, it’s certainly a substantial pile but it doesn’t take long to walk round the outside!

Maybe it’s because there are so many castles in that area of Scotland, such as Fyvie and Invercauld and further afield, Dunrobin and Culzean, I’ve lost my sense of proportion. 😂

Ah, insider knowledge!

How fabulous to live with such fabulous architecture on your doorstep.

There is so much choice - how much space does a single man on his own need FFS? An apartment in Kensington Palace would seem one of the most appropriate options.
And are the Sussexes likely to return to England?
No? Then why should they have a 7 bedroomed house kept standing empty for them?

I suppose if they’d bought it and paid for it with their own money, but………

Such a tragic tale. 52 bedrooms to choose from but William got the bigger one with the better view.

I do agree. It’s terribly sad, I could cry 😢

Are there really 52 bedrooms at Balmoral?? It doesn’t look that big from the outside! They must all be about 3ft square - not enough room to swing a Corgi by its stubby tail. 🐶

Crikey Sue! It looks pretty big to me

Balmoral: The castle is built from granite and reportedly has 52 bedrooms, alongside many reception rooms.

Do you know who I am?

Omid Scobie has said that two other members of the RF are appalled. Not named of course so maybe it's Archie and Lillibet, can't think of anyone else it could be.

Eugenie? And Jack? If he counts?
Harry and Eugenie still seem to be friends.

Well, Andrew at having to downsize? Sarah?

Or the corgis, dorgi and spaniel perhaps? They may each be used to having their own bedroom and don't want to share.

Has anyone moved into Nottingham Cottage since H&M decamped to Frogmore?

And what about Appartment 1, The palatial residence next door to William and Kate? Done up at huge expense to the taxpayer and stands empty because H&M turned it down.

So much choice.

My DC have to argue about who has the bigger spare room 😁

That reminds me of poor Harry telling us about William always getting the better bedroom in Balmoral.

Such a tragic tale. 52 bedrooms to choose from but William got the bigger one with the better view.

Oh my goodness, I can imagine the arguments.

It's so unfair!

Could be fancythat but once again they're not named which makes Scobie's claim questionable.

Just how many homes do all these royals actually need?

OK Buck House is just a place of work.

So there's Windsor Castle for living in.

Maybe they could make a case for keeping Holyrood House although they already have Balmoaral aa a Scottish home.

Is that not enough ?

We only have one home which is where we live. We do have friends how have or have had a second home - usually in a holiday place, but how could anyone justify having umpteen homes at a time when many of our fellow citizens are homeless?

MerylStreep

You have a spare room 😱

😁
Three (one's very small)

I could ask H&M to stay with me when they come over if they're stuck.
We have toys for Archie and Lilibet too (although not many after my bag-a-day clear out)
