King Charles III shocked many people around the world, leaving Sussex supporters in disbelief after his unprecedented and shocking actions against Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children.
His Majesty‘s unapologetic decision has sparked widespread interest and ongoing debate. However, he is not backing down from the unfolding royal drama.
In 2023, an eviction notice publicly delivered to Prince Harry and his family by His Majesty was the most unambiguous indication yet that the Sussexes were being treated as ingrates and were being banished from the Royal Family and all their properties.
At the time, it was claimed that King Charles, under the advice of his sister, Princess Anne, who is known for her no-nonsense approach, booted the family from their forever home as a form of punishment for their interviews, accusations, and revelations.
The reclaiming of Frogmore Cottage, a historic residence with ties to Queen Charlotte and Queen Victoria, was supposed to put an end to the lengthy battle with Prince Andrew.
The disgraced brother of King Charles had become a royal leach who was costing the royal purse and taxpayers a fortune.
The plan was to evict Prince Andrew from the money pit known as the Royal Lodge and move him to Frogmore, which is smaller and financially manageable for the King.
However, almost three years have passed since King Charles served Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the royal notice, and Frogmore Cottage now sits empty, wasting away.
The famous or infamous cottage is also a significant financial burden on the taxpayers for its upkeep, a fact that cannot be ignored and should raise concerns about the Royal Family’s economic management.
From the perspective of royal brackets, it is yet another multimillion-dollar property that belongs to the crown and becomes more valuable with each passing year.
The property can be seen as a substantial boost to the the Sovereign‘s real estate portfolio. However, according to some observers, Frogmore is just a symbol of King Charles’s mismanagement.
Moreover, a few critics are quick to link it to Prince Andrew’s scandalous past. These scandals include his links to Jeffrey Epstein and they have tarnished the standing of the Royal Family and led to public outcry.
Robin Edwards, a property buying agent via Yahoo and Marie Claire, explained: “Considering public scrutiny over the use of royal residences, it seems likely that the family will either find a practical use for Frogmore Cottage or rent it commercially to justify its ongoing maintenance costs.”
No matter the headlines and anger being spewed at King Charles, he remains unmoved and unbothered by them.
His Majesty is fully aware that it was not a popular decision, but he believes it was the right one, especially in the wake of his and Kate Middleton‘s cancer diagnoses.
He believes it was a wise decision to boot the pair of the property to avoid clashes, circuses, and potential altercations from the Sussexes.
No 76-year-old, sick and wearied, wants to be constantly disturbed by his neighboring renegade son and daughter-in-law.
Not only is he unregretful for kicking them to the curb, but King Charles has also since cut all communication with Prince Harry and Markle because they have become money-making whistleblowers against the Royal Family.
These are the reasons he prefers them out of sight and out of mind, even if he faces public scrutiny.
