Royal commentator Tom Quinn has criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their perceived disconnect with reality, particularly in their expectations regarding Frogmore Cottage. Quinn stated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex believed that Frogmore would always be available to them, even if they were no longer working royals and only visited the UK occasionally.
The couple’s decision to change their residency from the UK to the US has sparked commentary about their sense of entitlement and privilege. A recent document filing from Travalyst revealed that Prince Harry officially changed his “country of residence” to the US in June 2023.
Quinn emphasized that the eviction from Frogmore Cottage was a significant blow to Prince Harry, as it symbolized the final break with his royal ties. Despite maintaining a primary residence in California, Frogmore held sentimental value for the couple as a safe space in the UK.
Reports suggest that Harry and Meghan viewed Frogmore Cottage as a sanctuary, the only place that remained a constant in their tumultuous lives. However, King Charles’s decision to evict them from the property in 2023 marked the end of their connection to the UK.
The royal couple’s relocation to the US in 2020 and subsequent eviction from Frogmore Cottage highlight the complexities of their transition away from the royal family. Quinn’s comments shed light on the challenges faced by Harry and Meghan as they navigate their new lives outside of the monarchy.
