Prince Harry Faces Constitutional Challenges After Eviction from Frogmore Cottage

Prince Harry’s eviction from Frogmore Cottage is set to have significant implications for his constitutional role in Britain, as his unpopularity grows.

As he and Meghan Markle finally vacate the property, there are calls for King Charles III to sever the Duke’s constitutional ties with the country.

In addition to losing his royal residence, Prince Harry is also set to lose another royal role.

Frogmore Cottage, a historic grade 2 listed home, has served as the Sussexes’ base in the UK since their wedding in 2018.

Today marked the deadline for the couple to leave the Windsor property, with their remaining possessions being shipped to Montecito.

However, this means that Prince Harry can no longer act as a councillor of state, as he no longer has a home in the UK.

According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, the current councillors of state include the Queen Consort, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of York, and Princess Beatrice.

Last year, Prince Charles proposed adding Princess Anne and Prince Edward to the list, ensuring the continued efficiency of public business when he is unavailable due to official duties overseas.

With the loss of Frogmore Cottage, it has been revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan will need to reach a private agreement with the King if they wish to stay at any royal residence in the future.

This raises questions about their future accommodation arrangements during visits to the UK, as they are understood to no longer have a home in the country.

Courtier Sir Michael Stephen confirmed the couple’s departure from Frogmore Cottage, noting that the property had undergone renovations in recent years.

He further commented on the enhanced asset left behind by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

However, the King’s decision to evict them from Frogmore, which they had invested £2.4 million in for renovations, only six months after they started using it, suggests a strained relationship.

As events unfold, it appears that the Sussexes’ attacks on the royal family may not work in their favor.

The possibility of reconciliation seems bleak, and there are doubts about whether they can offer anything substantial beyond their criticisms and revelations.

Meghan’s previous statement, “I can say anything,” may come back to haunt them, as their behavior may leave them with little left to say.

While Prince Harry’s constitutional position may only become relevant if he returns to Britain, his growing unpopularity makes it unlikely that he would be able to assert any constitutional role, even with the King’s support.

Furthermore, there are renewed discussions about the King’s willingness to remove the Sussex title and the potential mistake of conferring titles onto their children, Archie and Lilibet.

In conclusion, Prince Harry’s eviction from Frogmore Cottage has far-reaching consequences for his constitutional role in Britain.

As he and Meghan Markle leave their UK base, questions arise about their future accommodation and their ability to contribute substantively beyond their criticisms.

With their popularity waning, it remains to be seen how their relationship with the royal family will unfold and what impact it will have on their future roles.
