Bitter date Prince Harry marked as his former US residence

Prince Harry reportedly chose the day that he and his wife, Meghan Markle were evicted from Frogmore Cottage as the start of his formal US residence.

DUKE OF SUSSEX’S OFFICIAL US RESIDENCE DATE

Prince Harry chose the date that he and Meghan Markle were evicted from Frogmore Cottage as the date of his formal residency in the US. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved out the remainder of their belongings from the Windsor property on 29 June 2023. So, Frogmore Cottage was the pair’s UK base after they moved to the US.

Prince Harry and Meghan quit their duties as senior working members of the royal family in 2020 and moved to California, US where they started a new life. The pair have two children together – Prince Archie (4) and Princess Lilibet (2). Daily Mail reports that 29 June 2023 is the date the pair put down for officially living in the US in new business documents.

According to the publication, Prince Harry was “deeply wounded” by his father’s decision to have him and Meghan leave Frogmore Cottage. This was a gift to him, from his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth.

ROYAL EXPERT ON PRINCE HARRY: ‘HE ACCEPTS HIS LIFE IN THE US’

Royal author Phil Dampier said that King Charles and Prince William knew the eviction had to be done to emphasise that the Sussexes were outside the firm.

“As always with Harry a lot can be read into his actions. Being ousted from Frogmore Cottage wounded him deeply,” said Dampier to The Sun.

“Charles and William knew it had to be done to emphasise Harry and Meghan were outside The Firm but he probably still thought he could keep a base here. Now he’s shown he accepts his life is in the US,” Dampier continued.

In January 2022, Prince Harry’s legal representative argued that the UK will always he his home.

“The U.K. will always be Prince Harry’s home and a country he wants his wife and children to be safe in. With the lack of police protection, comes too great a personal risk. Prince Harry hopes that his petition-after close to two years of pleas for security in the U.K.-will resolve this situation,” according to The Mirror.

This comes after Prince Harry and Meghan reportedly stayed at a hotel costing R152 000 a night in Florida this past weekend.
