Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Evicted from Frogmore Cottage: Majority of Brits Support King Charles’ Decision
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had been evicted from their residence at Frogmore Cottage.
The decision to kick the Sussexes out of the property was believed to be a result of Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare, which was released in January.
A new study has revealed that the majority of Brits support King Charles' decision to evict his son, with one in three considering the move completely fair and 49% believing it should have happened earlier.
According to a survey conducted among 1000 individuals, 44% of respondents blamed Meghan Markle for King Charles' decision, while an additional 6 in 10 believed that the royal couple would try to gain public sympathy through their eviction.
More than half of all participants stated that they would have made the same decision as King Charles, and 40% believed that the Queen would have done the same.
However, the pro-Sussex side's attempts to fight back since news of Charles' hard line broke have hit a snag.
The Netflix documentary, which was expected to shed light on their side of the story, now seems to be causing more trouble for Harry and Meghan.
The Sun initially reported that “Frogs It” was underway, and a day later, a spokesperson for the Sussexes confirmed that they had been asked to vacate Frogmore Cottage.
Omid Scobie, the author of the Hagiographic Finding Freedom and a prominent supporter of the Sussexes, stated that the move had shocked both Harry and Meghan.
According to Scobie, a source revealed, “This is not just some random rental that they keep for convenience.
Every drawer is full, every closet packed.
It's a real family home.”
The image painted is that of a young family forced to hurriedly pack their lives, cramming teething rings, jubilee medals, and scented candles into boxes.
However, the Duke and Duchess themselves have recently presented a different view.
In an episode of their Netflix docuseries, black and white images show the couple inside their Windsor home, surrounded by boxes and in the midst of packing.
Meghan and Harry are seen looking at piles of books on the floor, with the Duchess standing in front of what appears to be the instrument of consent, the official document from the late Queen approving their marriage.
Another shot shows Meghan looking despondent amidst moving boxes.
This contradicts the claim that they were caught off guard by the eviction.
Another aspect to consider is the limited use of Frogmore Cottage by Harry and Meghan.
The Duke stayed there for four days in 2021 during Philip's funeral, and the couple spent just one night there in April last year when they visited the Queen on their way to the Invictus Games.
In September, they returned for five days of charity engagements, which extended to about two weeks due to the Queen's passing.
This amounts to no more than three weeks in the three years since Harry and Meghan officially left royal life, leaving Frogmore Cottage without Sussex residents for approximately 153 weeks.
Regarding the packing up of Frogmore last year, Meghan shared with journalist Alison P. Davis, “You go back and you open drawers and you're like, oh my god, this is what I was writing in my journal at that time, and here's all my socks.”
This suggests that the couple had already been involved in the process of packing up their belongings.
In conclusion, the eviction of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage has garnered support from the majority of Brits, with many considering it fair and long overdue.
The Netflix documentary, which was expected to aid the Sussexes in their fightback, now seems to be working against them.
