They couldn’t fight it anyway. The lease is coming to an end and the landlord decided not to renew it.

And as their voice piece has said, they're fine with that.

So. Storm in a media created teacup.

Meghan and Harry's "voice piece" is too vocal and a stirrer in my opinion.
But so are "palaces sources", so no one wins!

Second rate ongoing soap about a highly privileged family. I switched off some time ago.

I thought Meghan and Harry had refused titles for Archie, so I presume for Lilibet too?

Princess Anne did the same for her children, sensible woman.

They allegedly turned down the Earl of Dumbarton for Archie.

Can’t say I blame them on that one.

When you've refused a title because you say you don't like it, you shouldn't claim that no titles have been offered due to racism as clearly this is NOT TRUE.

Maybe all the royalists could chill out a bit?

A source close to the couple has said they are “OK” with the King’s decision and are “not fighting it”.

The Times quoted the source as saying: “It is what it is. They are not fighting it. They realise they have a home [in California].

“They have a roof over their heads. They were very privileged to have a second residence. It’s not going to work out for them there, and that’s OK.”

A few people tying themselves in knots this morning.

I thought the DofE was no longer with us.

It’s been mentioned several times here that Royal Lodge has 30 bedrooms. It’s my understanding that it has 30 rooms, including staff quarters. The number of bedrooms reportedly is ten. Frogmore Cottage has variously been reported as having five, seven or ten bedrooms. However many it has it seems perfectly adequate for the Dof E, his ex wife and visiting family. Perhaps not grand enough for his inflated sense of his own importance but still good enough for a non contributing member of the family.

Meghan was extremely unkind to 3 year old Princess Charlotte, that is why she and George did not follow the happy couple down the aisle,but came with their parents.

That's funny because here they are walking down the aisle. Charlotte is 3 George is 2

No Charlotte is actually number 4 in the photo.

Jaberwok is right they did not follow the couple down the aisle after.

I don’t think titles were offered Calli. Can you imagine M refusing? She said (erroneously) that A not being given a title was due to racism.

Yawn. Not my circus, not my monkeys

But a chance to post?

Charlotte 3 and George 2??!! Err George is older than Charlotte, and was 5. I can assure you that George and Charlotte were not in the bridal procession leaving the Chapel, but came out with their parents.
Sandringham along with Balmoral was bought by Prince Albert, Balmoral for Queen Victoria, Sandringham (nobody stole it!) by Albert and Victoria for Bertie, the future Edward V11th, in the hopes that it might keep him away from the temptations of London! It didn't!! Amner Hall is part of the private Estate and within the Monarchs power to gift. It is rumoured that KC111 may well gift Balmoral to Scotland, only retaining Birkhall about 7 miles away from the main castle.

Chardy . George Vth altered the Prince and Princess titles in 1917 with a Letters Patent, which limited the number of royal relatives that could use these titles. Great grandchildren in the male line would no longer be titled Prince or Princess which had previously been the case. You can read these letters on line which clarify the matter concerning other family members .

The Sandringham estate wasn’t grabbed. Victoria purchased it.

I do like a fact to emerge occasionally amongst all the hyperbole

Does not repentance proceed forgiveness ?

Perhaps he simply doesn’t believe in letting a good home stand empty whilst he can decant Andrew into it and thus free up a mansion with 30 bedrooms for some other use. He is a great believer in efficiency and is obviously starting to make changes to that end.

The King is the Head of the Church of England, Does he not believe in Forgiveness?

Quite possibly. He may very well have forgiven Harry, who knows?

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?

I doubt if they think about it that way at all. If they do, they probably justify it just the way your friends do.
People like one DGD who can’t afford to live near their work or get on the housing ladder because of second or holiday homes, left empty for weeks on end, see those owners the same way as this business of the RF.

I’m not actually defending the number of homes the RF has, or who is living where, or whether they’ve been lucky enough to have been given or inherited a home from their parents.
I agree that no one needs so many homes.
I’m just pointing out that it isn’t only an RF issue, when it comes to homeless people.

But I don’t see any holiday home owners even second home owners on GN rushing to give them up for the benefit of others.

Re Archie and Lilibet and Prince and Princess.

Charles has now been monarch for almost 6 months.

No announcement has been made (to the best of my knowledge) about their change of title.

I imagine even H&M know they would be on thin ice if they started to discuss the P&P issue, until Charles has decided how to proceed.

On a different note, I think it would be good at the time of the Coronation if Charles made Edward and Sophie Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

Well deserved.
