<\/p>\nThere was an intriguing story about Frogmore Cottage – which is the former home of the Sussexes – recently.<\/p>\n
I remember breaking the exclusive story that the late Queen Elizabeth had given the use of the house to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as a wedding present.<\/p>\n
Everyone had expected the Sussexes to move into Kensington Palace (a huge building which is split into apartments) as a married couple, upgrading from Harry\u2019s bachelor pad, the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage in the grounds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n But, as I discovered, things had got so bad between Prince William and Harry, neither brother wanted to live next door to each other.<\/p>\n So Frogmore Cottage, which had previously been split into five staff apartments, had \u00a32.4 million spent on it to convert it back to a single home in 2019.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s been reported that three years after the Sussexes vacated the property, any trace of them is to be wiped!<\/p>\n The Crown Estate, who own the property on behalf of the monarch, are looking at plans to reverse the revamp and subdivide the house to let it to royal staff.<\/p>\n Harry and Meghan wanted to keep it as their UK home, but were evicted by the King in 2023, just weeks after the publication of Harry\u2019s vitriolic, tell-all book Spare<\/a>.<\/p>\n King Charles had wanted his brother Andrew to move there, but he opted instead for Sandringham.<\/p>\n I thought it was very strange that having spent all that money renovating Frogmore (which Harry pointedly paid back after he quit as a working royal) the Crown Estate would potentially rip it all out.<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n ‘The very memory of them, and their marital home, is being removed’<\/p>\n I can understand that it\u2019s a bit tricky (and expensive) to let as one property as it\u2019s within the Windsor security cordon, but surely that\u2019s the purpose of advanced security vetting.<\/p>\n What\u2019s even more bizarre is that I\u2019m told Harry and Meghan are really annoyed about it! They have a lovely home in California – why do they care what happens with Frogmore?<\/p>\n But it\u2019s the symbolism, isn’t it?<\/p>\n The fact that not just them but even the very memory of them, and their marital home, is being removed.<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Getty Images)<\/p>\n First of all they were evicted (and Harry really wanted to keep it as his UK base). Now they are being erased.<\/p>\n Sure, it can be dressed up as \u2018repurposing\u2019 for staff accommodation. But it\u2019s a virtual expunging from royal history. As if the \u2018Harry and Meghan era\u2019 never existed.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s got to hurt.<\/p>\n This feature first appeared in Woman<\/a> magazine.
