King Charles Evicts Harry from Cottage & He Has to Remove Furniture after Meghan Lost Her Baby: Details
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are reportedly being kicked out of their Frogmore Cottage by King Charles III. Harry's bombshell memoir, "Spare," is said to have caused an even bigger rift between him and his family. But the Sussex family took the eviction by the chin and have started arranging moving logistics.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly received an eviction notice at their Frogmore Cottage in the UK. King Charles III reportedly decided to kick out the US-based couple after Prince Harry released his tell-all memoir, "Spare."
The Duke of Sussex's book is said to have launched worldwide attacks against the Royal Palace. However, an insider found the eviction to be harsh and a clear message that the Sussex's would not attend King Charles' coronation in May.

However, the Sussex family broke their silence and confirmed the news, “We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage," said the couple's representative
The Frogmore cottage was allegedly offered to Prince Andrew, who is said to resist living in the smaller house. He wants to continue living at the Windsor Royal Lodge, where he reportedly pays $250 weekly as his subsidized rent to live in a 30-room royal lodge.
As for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they will reportedly not fight the eviction notice as they are already planning to have their stuff moved. They reportedly have until the summer to move out, even though they were initially given a few weeks.

But the cottage was passed down to them by Queen Elizabeth II before her death, meaning Prince Harry and his family will no longer have a home in the UK.
A royal reporter, Omid Scobie, said the ordeal felt like a cruel punishment or a final goodbye that cuts Prince Harry and his family from the Royal Family completely.
Prince Harry and Markle gave a glimpse of their cottage when they hosted an intimate garden birthday for their daughter Lilbet, which showed their beautiful and airy living space.

Not to take away from the picnic snacks, balloons, party games, and the birthday cake that the Sussex's put together for their daughter.
But interior design expert Benji Lewis also revealed a few details about the home. Lewis noticed a tea island decked with coffee mugs, and right next to it was an area filled with goodies for guests to pair with their tea.
The home also has a workspace, which Lewis said conveniently has a plugging station for a laptop and cellphone.

The kitchen was built in 1801 but Markle kept the rustic touches and made the space feel warm and homely by adding rugs and a few industrial touches to make it modern.
Of all the spaces, Lewis felt that the rustic kitchen was among the most welcoming rooms and gave credit to the careful choice of lighting throughout the house.
Even though Lewis loves how cozy the Frogmore Cottage is; he clarified that it was far from their luxurious $14 million mansion in California.

The Sussex's Netflix documentary showed them running with the dogs in their beautiful green garden. The property had a massive yard covered in well groomed grass and bush of trees.
There was also a bench placed in the middle of the garden and surrounded by various plants, which looked peaceful and perfect for relaxing and reading a book.

The "Harry and Meghan" documentary gave insight into some of the issues reported in the media. One highly discussed topic was Markle's leaked personal letter to her father.

The Sussex couple decided to sue The Daily Mail for publishing the letter, but their decision to fight back was reportedly the beginning of their deteriorating relationship with the Royal Family.
The other nail-biting issue was Prince Harry's inability to see the Queen. The Duke of Sussex said Queen Elizabeth II had invited him and Markle to visit, which was meant to happen after their Vancouver trip.
But to Harry's surprise, he was told he was not allowed to see the Queen anymore. Harry called his grandmother and said, "I am told you are busy," The Queen replied, "Yes, I didn't know I was that busy, but I am told you busy all week." All of this left Prince Harry shocked.

Markle also opened up about the miscarriage she suffered in 2020, which happened a day after she moved into her California home.
Markle had her friend Abigail Spence talk the viewers through how it happened. Spencer remembered arriving at the Sussex home and being excited to be given a tour of the mansion.
But as she walked toward Markle, she could see something was wrong. Suddenly, Markle, holding Archie, complained about being in pain and fell down shortly after.

The Duchess of Sussex expressed, "I was pregnant, I wasn't sleeping, and the first morning that we woke up in our new home was when I miscarried,"
Sitting next to his wife as she told the painful story, Harry looked like he was also having a hard time. But Harry had an idea of what could have caused it, "I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did," he said.

Although Harry admitted that many hurtful things unfolded during their legal battle with The Daily Mail, and he could not pinpoint that the miscarriage was caused solely by the publication, he had a good hunch that their attacks on Markle had something to do with it.
IKEA Lamps and Cheap Furniture: How Are Harry and Meghan Living?
Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir also discussed some of the tension between him and his brother Prince William. When he and Markle first got married, they lived in a cozy Nottingham Cottage, which Harry said was worlds apart from his brother's fancy apartment at Kingston Palace

Harry recalled a time in 2018 when he and Markle visited the Prince and Princess of Whales to talk over some of their differences.
Tension filled the room and William reportedly accused Markle of being rude. But, despite the discomfort of the meeting, Harry could not help but stare at his brother's lavish apartment.
"'The wallpaper, the ceiling trim, the walnut bookshelves filled with volumes of peaceful colors, priceless works of art. Magnificent. Like a museum,” wrote Harry.

The Sussex family complimented William and Kate on their beautiful decor and congratulated them on a successful renovation. Still, Harry was embarrassed by the Ikea lamp and second couch he and Markle had in their much smaller cottage.
Although the public thought Harry and his family were comfortable in a palace, he said, “People thought we lived in a palace, and we did. Well, a cottage in a palace.”
Harry also joked about how low the ceiling was and said the house was perfectly made for a short person. Though their cottage was not the most lavish place, the couple put their mark on it and turned it into a comfortable home.
The end of their Netflix documentary showed a beautiful montage of some never seen before pictures and videos of the Sussex family.
Harry opened up about some of the anger that he still felt from being so disconnected from his family, but at the same time, he was happy and felt like he and his family were in the right place.

Markle also summed it up by saying everything came full circle. To prove the strength of the love she and Harry shared, she told a story from their wedding to show that love always wins.
