Harry and Meghan EVICTED from Frogmore, keys handed to Prince Andrew

[tatalan]

What do you think?

I'm not surprised. I wonder if Harry and Meghan will buy a new UK residence.

Dear god not more renovations. PA spent over £9m on it to include an indoor swimming pool and cinema. Surely it doesn't need 'renovations'.

Really?

He spent £9million on the £30million property.

I get fed up with people twisting what people say. Your response to my post (nothing to do with any other posts you made) was it wasn't just copper baths and curtains when I'd already specifically referred to essential maintenance work being different.

Half and half seems a crude way to do it, the structural work could have been 10% of the total cost or 90%. I'm sure they can actually work out what was work they wanted done, designer kitchens, wallpaper or whatever and what was actually needed. Not to mention the work was done years ago so to expect a full refund would be ridiculous, it's like selling something secondhand, Boris might have paid a fortune for his gold wallpaper but it's just secondhand in someone else's taste so pretty worthless now.

Not fair.

I think Andrew is awful, but he really did do 22 years in the Navy (yes opinions of what he was like as a colleague are, shall we say, colourful, but he wasn't an oxygen thief)

Speak for yourself!
The fact that there’s threads surely shows that there’s interest Ffs!

Funny how backgrid are always happen to be there - Harry looks a little dazed

He has lived there for 20 years though It’s perfectly possible that the fabric of the building was in an ok state then and just needed tarting up, but it is now in need of fundamental repairs 🤷‍♀️

Is there a source for this - I mean a proper one, not just the red tops all coming out with it on the same day?

If H&M have no intention of residing in UK again, it does make sense to look at who is living where (and on what terms). But have they stated that intent? And is this definitely happening, or is it planning options for that scenario if it comes to pass?

Frogmore has 5 bedrooms. Andrew lives (platonically) with Fergie.

Ver fair. Have you read his Wiki page with sources at the bottom. Plenty of dodgy dealings, especially when he was Trade Envoy. (And he tacked on golf holidays on to the end of each one at our expense)

Interesting dynamic that they can have an actual gift withdrawn.That's not normal.

I thought my response was very fair. Not rude. Just offering what I thought was a solution. Sorry if I have offended you.

Sure

You asserted that he's "never done a proper job"

It is that assertion which is unfair.

Unless you don't consider a full 22 year career with the Royal Navy to be proper work?

if its true its not a good look. shows the RF put a alleged (yet paid victim off) sex offender above Harry.

Meh, they don’t need a house here since they have no plans to return so why not use it for someone else🤷🏼‍♀️. They’re making so much of the charity gravy train in addition to their whingey stories it really won’t matter to them. As an aside I am really sick of the wealthy starting charities and using them as income streams or tax avoidance, it’s capitalism at its worst.

How much of a gift was it? I find the whole system around royal funding and estates very confusing, but my understanding was that Frogmore never belonged to any person, just to the royal estate? So the Queen couldn't really gift it as such, she just gave them permission to live there indefinitely...and once the estate had passed to the next owner of the Crown, that could change?

They always have. Andrew held on to his ceremonial military titles and taxpayer-funded security for over a year after Harry lost his.

I did wonder if this would happen too, Adelaide Cottage is very small in comparison to other royal residences.
I hope Andrew is downsized; Fergie won’t be happy either! I think he’s going to be squeezed further and further away, step by step.

Ok. Apologies. The Navy. A very worthy career.

After that the freeloading and backhanders started.

He looks happy to me, not dazed.

Well done King Charles. His patience has snapped after Harry's book.

Adelaide Cottage was only going to be temporary I bet... and was good PR. No staff living with them (just in houses close by!), shock horror only 4 bedrooms etc.
It was sold to us as a frugal move, but it was an extra property to the three they already have... Kensington Palace, Amner Hall and a cottage on Balmoral Estate. Incidentally, back in 2013 KP was refurbished for £4M plus and we were told it would be their only official residence for years to come, that didn't last long!
I wouldn't mind having a building company in Windsor with all these constant refurbishments...

That was my point to milti. There's more.

What else do you think he will do to punish Harry, now that his patience has snapped 🤔
