It's been reported the King decided to move Prince Harry and Meghan Markle out in a bid to make way for Prince Andrew who will take over the property.

A spokesperson confirmed the couple have been told to move out of the Windsor property, a gift from the late Queen, which would leave them without a UK home ...

The news of the alleged eviction follows damning allegations from Harry and Meghan about the royal family after a series of tell-all interviews, a documentary by the couple on Netflix, and A spokesperson for the couple said: “We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage.” The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have allegedly been asked to “vacate” their UK home, the couple have confirmed.

The news comes amid speculation over whether the couple will attend King Charles III's coronation in May.

After their move to the US, where they now reside in star-studded Montecito, Santa Barbara, they retained ownership of the cottage as their UK base, staying there last summer while visiting the country for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Initially funded by the taxpayer, the sum was later repaid in full by Prince Harry following news of the couple’s departure from official royal life. Owned by the Crown Estate, the Grade-II listed, 10-bedroom house in the grounds of Windsor Castle was gifted to the duke and duchess by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The couple lived in the 10 bedroom home on the grounds of Windsor Castle before leaving the UK in 2020, and stayed there during visits in recent years.

As for the report that Prince Andrew may be moving in, Buckingham Palace has not released a statement addressing the news, but The Sun reports that he’s being asked to vacate his longtime residence at the nearby Royal Lodge property. Extensive renovations were done to the Georgian-era home in order to make it habitable for the young family, but by early 2020, Harry and Meghan had announced their plans to step back from their royal roles and relocate to North America. The royal rift between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and his family may have just gotten a bit deeper.

The Sussexes confirm they are being "evicted" from Frogmore Cottage, with Prince Andrew said to be moving in.
