The lease was separate from the repayment of the repairs, or so I understood. At the time of the repayment there were questions about who really paid, even suggestions that Charles paid in Harry’s name.The point that I am making is that Charles may very well be exercising some form of eminent domain but if he is doing it as score settling against his younger son, Charles is demonstrating that certain unflattering aspects of Harry's personality are not due to PTSD over the loss of his mother, drug use or being influenced by other parties, rather it is showing that Harry is his father's son.
Perhaps but the Sussexes reportedly paid £2.4 million to cover renovation costs funded by the sovereign grant, I would think that would have covered more than a few years lease. I am basing that on the amounts that Andrew and Edward reportedly paid to renovate their much bigger homes on much more land, and in their cases they got decades long leases.
If the Sussexes are in good financial standing with Frogmore Cottage, I do not agree with Charles evicting them against their will. I can see Charles having issues with Harry's book and other Sussex actions but to me this is not the correct action to take.
I will be happy to hear that there is more to the story about this eviction, along with the reports that Andrew is also being relocated against his will and Edward not yet being named the Duke of Edinburgh, but thus far what these actions (or inactions) demonstrate to me is that the pettiness, spitefulness and score-settling aspects of Harry's personality that has come to light in recent times are traits Harry inherited from his father.
Perhaps, but obviously they (the Sussexes) seem to regard it as such.I think we probably will see Andrew moving in there, and that it's part of a general move round. I certainly don't think it's been done just as a move against the Sussexes.
Well, if I remeber correctly this house was refurbished for them for millions of pounds. The average couple has to buy a property on their own - they have been given it. Nothing wrong with that, IF they kept on using it on a regular basis while doing what they were meant to do, working for the Monarchy and by that for the country all their wealth and status was based upon! After quitting and stabbing large parts of the RF in the back the Sussexes hardly ever used it ever since. Absolutely hilarious Harry even had the sorry guts to do his british "Spare" interview there...If the Sussexes are in good financial standing with Frogmore Cottage, I do not agree with Charles evicting them against their will.

Yes...it sends quite a message from Charles. It is a symbolic punch in their noses.
But were the Sussexes so attached to Frogmore in the first place? Other than its sentimental value as their first marital home?
I always got the feeling that Meghan in particular was underwhelmed by Frogmore.
And let me be blunt...though Frogmore is obviously a Royal property with history attached to it, it does not begin to compare with their palatial Montecito home, which is the last word in luxury from what I have seen.
Harry and Meghan live 99% of their lives in the USA. I agree. They are just fine. They have plenty of money and fund their own life.
This is still about a property they lived in that provided them protection when they were in the UK. That is no longer the case. So I guess they have even less reason to come to the UK since the little protection they did have is now gone, Which probably is the point by Charles.
We heard of the Andrew angle when we heard the eviction. Why would one be true and not the other?
According to a source quoted by Omid Scobie they haven't emptied the house - "This is not just some random rental they keep for convenience. Every drawer is full, every closet is packed… It’s a real family home.”

I am not saying it isn't true, but being asked to leave Frogmore has been confirmed by the couple themselves, the Andrew part has not been confirmed. It could be an assumption on the part of the journalists and posters. It ties in with rumours about Charles reducing the financial support that Andrew received from the Queen,
Meghan didn't have any worries about the UK when she rolled down the window of the car to be seen.
I am sure Charles would provide accommodation for them when and if they came to visit the family which would automatically include protection if within the palaces.
Most likely we won't be seeing Harry, Meghan, or their kids in the UK for a while.
We just don’t know, we only have the Sussexes side of the story. And the chances to have the other side are non existent.I would agree but I also doubt the relationship was good before that. There is a reason things got to where they are. They all just stopped pretending.
I mean we can't assume Charles would do anything. He just took their home. Doesn't exactly scream "I will offer you a room to stay." And their protection was removed years ago. So...
If they ever visit they will be going to a hotel or staying with friends and or non Windsor family. That is the likely scenario. Most likely we won't be seeing Harry, Meghan, or their kids in the UK for a while. They will be in the Europe for the Invictus Games later this year but that will be one of the limited events bringing them over.

I am almost at the end of the book and there are so many things that sound not very plausible. This is not the thread to discuss the book, what I want to say is that so many times the Sussexes have been proven to be flexible with the true truth that I wouldn’t believe them even if they said it’s day. I would check before believing.
That is quite correct we cannot make any assumptions, for all we know the couple were approached and asked if they wanted to continue with the lease. It could have been a joint decision after discussions. I think we should also note that the couple never said they were evicted.
I just wish people would stop inferring that this poor family have been thrown out on the streets with nothing.
I am sorry this is beginning to sound like Harry and his family are being put out on the streets with no roof over their head, they live in a multi roomed house in the States. They have made it clear they do not feel safe in this country, they are very rarely in that house.
As far as Andrew goes that is not clear as yet just rumour, even if it is true, if Andrew can no longer afford the upkeep of the big house why shouldn't his brother allow him to live in a smaller house on the estate that is very rarely used. I am sure there will be plenty accommodation available in some of the palaces if the Sussex family should come over for visits, which would also include the security for the palaces.
Honestly I think most just have issue with the Andrew angle. It is a hard sell for a lot of people that Charles would put out his son and his young children in favor of his very disgraced brother. No matter your issues with Harry it is a bad look.
The Sussexes put out a statement confirming they were "requested to vacate." So yes they were evicted. They were told to pack up their things and never return to the property.
Oh, my. That’s quite a leap…
