Prince Harry's 'Last Straw' With Daddy: 'Furious' Duke Left 'in Tears' Over Major King Charles Decision
Harry, Duke of Sussex, is reportedly 'furious' at a sick King Charles, whose major royal decision apparently left the prince 'in tears.'
King Charles' decision to officially boot Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage in the spring of 2023 reportedly left the Duke "in tears." The monarch, who was only weeks away from his coronation, allegedly told the royal rebels they needed to have all of their stuff out of the residence by June 2023, which the duo complied with.
"The story of Harry’s change of residence may have come out only in the past few days, but in fact, Harry quietly changed his primary residence as long ago as June 29, 2023, on the very day he and Meghan were evicted from Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate," royal author Tom Quinn dished.
"That’s the date given in new business documents filed in the U.S. this week. At the time, few people realized what a slap in the face the eviction from Frogmore felt like for Harry — it was the last straw," he added. "Harry was absolutely furious and in tears about being evicted from Frogmore — he felt his father had no right to do it and that it was purely vindictive."
Charles III's decision, which insiders claim was "purely protocol," came weeks after Harry's "salacious" memoir, Spare, became a bestseller thanks to its author's "explosive details" about his family members. In the tome, the Duke of Sussex criticized his father's parenting skills, called his stepmother, Queen Camilla, "dangerous," and wrote "several disparaging things" about his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate, Princess of Wales.
Harry and Meghan were gifted the cottage by the late Queen Elizabeth II, who maintained her decades-long tradition of giving all newly married senior royals a country residence of their own. The Sussex pair were officially based at Kensington Palace, where they had a lavish apartment, which is also the main base of William and Catherine. The renovations needed for the cottage ended up costing British taxpayers over $4 million dollars, which became a controversy once the duo only lived there for one year.
Once "Megxit" happened in early 2020, Princess Eugenie and her spouse, Jack Brooksbank, briefly lived in the cottage for six months before vacating in the spring of 2021, where it has remained abandoned ever since. When Charles III acceded to the throne in September 2022, there was talk he planned on forcing the scandal-ridden Prince Andrew to move to the "less costly" nineteenth-century home.
"Frogmore House is no longer occupied by the royal family but is often used for entertaining," the Royal Collection Trust website now reads.
Harry paid back every penny of the public money used to refurbish and "lavishly decorate" the cottage. His tears and frustration seem to be related to the reasons why his father booted his family from the stately home as a matter of "protocol."
