Harry and Meghan Told to Leave Their Royal Cottage in the U.K.

Queen Elizabeth II offered Frogmore Cottage to the couple at the time of their wedding, and it was the couple’s home base on infrequent visits to Britain.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have been asked to move out of Frogmore Cottage, their five-bedroom Georgian house on the grounds of Windsor Castle, the couple’s press secretary said, in a further sign of the bitter rupture between them and the British royal family since they withdrew from royal duties and left Britain.

Queen Elizabeth II offered the house to the couple, known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, at the time of their wedding in 2018. It has served as their home base on infrequent visits to Britain since they relocated to Montecito, Calif.

“We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage,” said the press secretary, Ashley Hansen, who is head of communications for the couple’s foundation, Archewell.

Ms. Hansen did not provide further details about the reasons for or timing of the eviction, which was first reported on Wednesday by The Sun, a British tabloid. The Sun said that King Charles III had made the decision shortly after the publication of Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” which is replete with scorching accounts of Harry’s dysfunctional relationship with Charles, his father; and with his brother, Prince William.

Top photo is the large home, Frogmore House. Botton photo is the much smaller Frogmore Cottage. Two different buildings.

"They are all my ancestors."

I've got a bunch of them in my Ancestry family tree too (mostly Plantagenets), although I can't prove it through DNA, since that only goes back 5 or 6 generations. Found out I'm also related to the aristocracy from the Germanic Empire. And I have DNA ancestry in Sweden and Denmark, Scotland, and Ireland. My parents never knew any of that.

Some cottage. But then you would expect the royals to downplay it for all those hard working Britain’s they fleeced taxes out of to fund their lavish lifestyle.

Does Charles III wants to raise it so he can build a mosque there?

Actually you were close, the cottage was 5 apartments before, housing Windsor staff. 2019 it was redone into one house.

For some reason this comes to mind when I think of royalty.

Mine runs directly through William the Lion of Scotland and The Mowbrays..although that one is questionable.

The William the Lion line is proven.

I recall Frogmore Cottage was once the host to Jeffery Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.

If those walls could talk...

I have Mowbray/de Mowbray in my family line...Elizabeth Mowbray who married William Gascgoine goes back to John De Mowbray...also Robert the Bruce via his daughter Maud. All of these older connections are based on Ancestry.com hints, which may or may not be factual, so I take it all with a grain of salt. There was no family history on either parent’s side past my great-grandparents. My grandparents were all dead when I was born in 1947, and neither parent knew of their ancestry, so I basically started from scratch. Over 20 years ago I hired a researcher in Holland to go back 6 or 7 generations on my father’s side in Holland. They were mostly farmers and laborers. My mother’s side is the longer of the two trees.

“I have Mowbray/de Mowbray in my family line”

Well your the third one on this site that is blood relative to me.

But, like I said, the Mowbray lineage is questionable. My Cousin is working on it.

As far as ancestry sites? Not to be trusted totally. Lots of mistakes, but they are very good for outlines and initial research.

I found a HECK of a lot of information on community historical record sites. Things like township meetings and such...Deed Records, Court documents like trusts and will probates.

Charles is reportedly trying to force Andy out of the Hunting lodge and into Frogmore.

The top picture is Frogmore Cottage, the bottom picture is Frogmore House. Two different places. The cottage is a dump compared to the house.
