EVICTED! Harry fustrated as King Charles gives Frogmore Cottage to Kate and William

Prince Harry and Meghan finally vacated their former Windsor home on Thursday six months after they received marching orders from King Charles.



The royal couple's remaining belongings were packed up and shipped off to their Californian home with just one day before the final deadline to go.


Confirming the news, Sir Michael Stevens, Keeper of the Privy Purse, said: "We can confirm that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have vacated Frogmore Cottage.


"We will not be going into any detail on those arrangements here.


"Safe to say that, as has previously been stated, the duke and duchess have paid for the expenditure incurred by the Sovereign Grant in relation to the renovation of Frogmore Cottage, thus leaving the Crown with a greatly enhanced asset."


Now that the pair officially have no British residence, however, it means the Duke of Sussex could be about to lose out on a vital royal role: Counselor of State. Counselors of State carry out "official duties" of the King, which may include attending Privy Council meetings and signing routine documents.


Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun: “Losing their UK home without a replacement is a huge deal.


"The most important aspect as far as Harry is concerned is that it means he can no longer act as a counselor of state.


"That's hugely important because in theory he had the right, in the event of the king being incapacitated, to do this.


"Although he is no longer a working royal he still had this right - and by not having a UK residence he has now thrown this opportunity away.


"But of course it seems that Harry, and Meghan, don't care at all about the UK.


“They have no interest in their popularity or taking on roles here - they just care about their US audience.


"But it means if they don't have a UK residence when William ascends to the throne then he will be unable to support his brother - not that he does that now."
