There’s still some “debate” amongst the Sussex Squad about Buckingham Palace’s leaks, in September, about Prince Harry’s request to stay one night at Windsor Castle. Harry made a whirlwind visit to the UK just before the Dusseldorf Invictus Games. Harry attended the WellChild Awards on Thursday, September 7, then he spent the night somewhere. The next morning, he paid his respects to his grandmother’s crypt in St. George’s Chapel on the Windsor estate on what was the one-year anniversary of her death. According to the palace’s series of briefings weeks later, Harry requested a room in Windsor Castle for the night of the 7th, only his father’s office told him there were no available rooms and no staff there. There was also some kind of invitation extended for Harry to fly up to Balmoral, but that would have made zero sense for Harry’s travel plans.
The end of the palace’s weekend briefing spree was an admission that perhaps King Charles was hasty, petty and completely stupid for evicting Harry from Frogmore Cottage, and that Harry should perhaps be “given” some royal apartment somewhere, in case he’s in town. That was literally what Frogmore Cottage was supposed to be – somewhere safe and secure, where Harry could have a base and the king’s grandchildren would be welcome in the UK. Personally, I believe Harry probably did request a room for one night, just as I believe he was refused. Now, did Harry expect the palace to give him a room? Or was this some kind of test to see if Charles really is a dogsh-t father? I don’t know. I also believe that Harry (and not Meghan) would still like to have some kind of UK base. What I don’t believe is that Harry is considering buying an apartment near London:
In September, Prince Harry requested to stay in a room in Windsor Castle during a brief trip to the UK. However, the Duke of Sussex’s request was rejected due to a lack of notice given to the Royal Family.
In a bid to find a new base in the UK, Harry has started looking for a property near London, according to a source.
They told OK!: “There is a divide between the couple on this issue but they will soon start looking for a property of their own near London and Harry is very much leading this. They won’t be asking the King for a property on the royal estate due to the issue that arose with Frogmore Cottage. Making use of a small apartment in Kensington Palace from time to time isn’t out of the question, but when it comes to a home in the UK, they will purchase that themselves.”
Meghan Markle has not travelled to the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
This is the solution I’ve seen some Sussex fans suggest, which is “don’t ask your garbage family for anything and just buy or rent your own place in London or wherever.” I get that, I do, and Harry has the money to do so, but I don’t think he will. Harry is so focused on security and I just think if he ever bought a place, it would end up being a huge security issue. The media would be breaking into that apartment or home constantly, the cost to secure the home would be enormous and it wouldn’t be worth it, given that Harry plans to only be in town for a few days at a time for his many lawsuits. Again, the eviction from Frogmore Cottage is the original sin here – that’s the thing which never should have happened, from which there is no turning back.

- Windsor, UNITED KINGDOM – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have handed over the keys to their UK home Frogmore Cottage to Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank. Frogmore Cottage is a historic Grade II listed home on the Frogmore Estate, part of Home Park, Windsor, England. It was built in 1801 at the direction of Queen Charlotte in the gardens near Frogmore House. A part of the Crown Estate, it is the private residence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Pictured: Frogmore Cottage BACKGRID USA 21 NOVEMBER 2020 USA: +1 310 798 9111 / usasales@backgrid.com UK: +44 208 344 2007 / uksales@backgrid.com *UK Clients – Pictures Containing Children Please Pixelate Face Prior To Publication*

This is rubbish. One: the source is OK magazine. And two, it claims they “will soon start”. Not even that they ARE looking but that they “will” look.
Also it sounds like they’re really close to just going with the divorce storyline again and say that Harry is looking to relocate to the UK on his own.
I think it’s genius.
1- he probably asked for a room fully expecting to be turned down. That is absolutely fuel for his case about security.
2- he buys or rents a place. But only as a means to show the level of threat he’s under and the absolute unhinged behavior from the media and others making him a target and again – as part of his case.
3- he rents that place. Has a friend “visit” so it looks like he’s there. They book it out the back door and wait. Multiple cameras set up in every room. Let’s see what happens. That also makes excellent points in his security case.
I really hope you are right, because it is genius.
I really can see him asking for that very reason. It may be brought up in the ongoing security case. I’m trying to recall when that gets picked up again. Last thing that happened was the judge said he could not pay for his own security but the rest hasn’t been decided. So when does it get decided?
harry was staying at hotels they were saying, so I think they possibly spoke to specific people to see who were the traitor moles. Anyway, I hope they get their own condo with all accommodations, concierge, and security and privacy they need.
Agreed. Just said this below and only believe he asked because someone (sorry wish I could remember who, but if you read this, you’ll know I’m talking about you!) pointed out to me when this was first discussed here some weeks ago- that H was playing chess, that asking might be related to his case. Makes total sense.
I believe that there is no way that Harry will beg for a lodging from Charles again. His last request, if there was one, was used to humiliate him with a blunt refusal. Accepting an apartment in KP is a no go. Every square inch of the place will be bugged. Having their own place makes some sense but how will it be managed? I will wait and see. This could be more tabloid wishful thinking “He’s coming back!”
I don’t believe he asked for accommodation. I don’t believe he is looking for a place in London either. He is there so infrequently that why bother. Whatever he has been staying seems to be working no one knows where that is. If he were to purchase or lease everyone might find out. The stalkers are always looking for these public information documents.
Exactly. People forget that he and Meghan were renting a place in the Cotswolds and were forced to move out because the press found out where the house was and took pictures of their bedroom.
i honestly think he hasn’t asked for a room at any of the palaces. he already got the message when they evicted him from their home
I think he discreetly stays at a hotel or at one of Elton John’s many properties.
Soho hotel London is what previous commenters think. Close location and Meghan friends with owner.
I don’t believe any of it either 😠 why don’t they tell us what we really want to know DID HARRY AND MEGHAN GOT THEIR 2 MILLION DOLLARS BACK ???
I don’t believe this story either. When has OK magazine ever been accurate about anything?
Has Harry been repaid his and his wife’s money for their renovations to Frogmore Cottage?
This is what I want to know.
Same.
Yep. I want to know too.
(In my head, he negotiated repayment as part of coming to the shiny hat thingy).
Harry has said his life is in the US, Meghan refuses to step foot on that island. The only people obsessed with the Sussexes wanting to live in the UK is the British media.
Again, I don’t believe he requested to stay at Windsor Castle, just like I don’t believe he asked to visit his grandmothers crypt. Harry’s still HRH Prince Henry, he’s still the kings son, that holds a lot of weight.
Yes I can’t believe Harry has to scrounge around for a place to stay overnight when his father is the king of the darned country . The place is also busting with uncles , aunts , cousins and friends with well secured stately homes…won’t any of them offer him shelter? Security is the major issue here .
I don’t think he’ll consider buying anything until security has been worked out. H has said he wants his kids to know where he grew up so I’m sure he’d like them to have a home there but it doesn’t seem feasible right now.
The Sussex children may go with their parents to the UK to visit but if conditions stay the same with Charles and William I doubt it would happen. Charles William and their respective spouse’s would not be welcoming to say the least.
Wanting to know where he grew up does not equal buying a house.
I’m from a different country from my husband and my kids knowing my country and family entails FaceTime, dressing up international day at school and visiting for approx 2 week a year.
This is a good point and at this point, Harry may have given up on a home in the UK. The security issue is nowhere near resolved and there’s no way he or Meghan would buy property there without proper protection.
I don’t see any reason for H and M to maintain a property in the UK. He seems well able to visit for the 1-2 times a year that he wants to. I think because of the recent flurry of events – two funerals and a coronation – it might seem like he was there more, but it’s a fluke. I wouldn’t be surprised going forward if he simply stops by the Wellchild awards once a year, pays respects to Gran, then GTFO the island.
Plus, if he wanted, he could just do what lots of rich British celebs do and buy a place in France instead?
They shouldn’t buy anything until the security issue is settled. Harry is serious about making sure he and his family are safe. As much as I think he would love to buy a uk home he won’t until it’s safe for him to bring his kids over. Meghan definitely doesn’t want to live under the watchful eye of her husband’s family so I do think they will buy a house once the security situation is handled but not until then.
Bring their children over.
Bottom Line: Harry, & especially Meghan, are never returning to Shutter Island to purchase a house nor live as long as armed security isn’t allowed for them. Harry would never risk the lives of his wife & children. Whenever Harry has business to transact in the UK he can stay at a safe house [hotel], handle business, & get on the first flight smoking off that Salty Shutter Island.
Just another story made up to imply their marriage is faltering.
This story sounds like a rota fever dream. I think the BM is realizing that evicting H&M from FC was a dumb as move. It’s a lot easier to report on your biggest cash cows when they’re in the country. I saw squaddie tweeted out that there’s an article that speculated on what schools A&L would go to in the UK. Sounds like regrets to me.
The whole we’ll let you stay in some rooms at KP really is just more psychological warfare from the effed up Windsors. Harry and Meghan deliberately chose a house in Windsor, far away from KP. Kate and William
(Really just William) still have an apartment there. No way do they want to run into them. And more importantly, the KP offices are there. The office that terrorized Meghan and smeared her with false bullying charges. The RF and the BM are aware the sussex family would never want to stay at KP.
Okay so my tinfoil tiara theory is that Harry was offered rooms at KP because Will wants to get Harry alone to try to persuade (read: bully) him to come back. Will truly believes that Sussexit was all Meghan and if he could just get Harry alone, he could force him to break. I think another dog bowl incident would’ve happened.
Charles meanwhile knows it’s done. Hence he refused rooms by BP and evicted from Frogmore.
Oh, I absolutely agree that William would like to get Harry alone so he can rage at him. I’m not sure the sense in that bc it’s certainly not going to bring Harry back. He might just want to rage at Harry for the sake of raging. And as William likely spends a lot of time at KP, that is who Harry or Meghan would run into if they stayed at KP. The BM knows this so maybe that’s why they keep saying Harry could just stay at KP. They want a confrontation bw the brothers. I just don’t think there’s a chance Harry would stay at KP. And Meghan would likely never.
KP=house arrest
Buying and maintaining a property would imply they are planning on many visits to the UK and extended ones at that. I’m sorry but that’s not happening. He could easily bring the kids when they are older and stay with other friends or family every summer for a visit. Their life is in cali and they don’t need a home in the UK.
Royal Lodge has lots of room. Andrew needs the rent money.
The funniest possible outcome of all this would be the Sussexes getting to stay at the much-coveted royal lodge with Eugenie and Beatrice while WanK seethe over in their little cottage.
this is my thought, tbh. They could easily stay with family or friends- they don’t need a home base in the UK at all for their philanthropy work or to visit folks.
Also, it’s interesting to me that no one ever mentions the Spencers when speculating about where the Sussexes could be when in the UK. Harry is still tight with his mother’s side of the family, right? They have plenty of secure space.
Cheep speculations for clickbait. Not one single indication or real proof from these laughable rags and parroting hate channels, that this is happening. Unfortunate this BS will continue in 1,000 versions. Next.
@sistersister
Thank. You.
That’s all they all hv….. all who make their coins online.: Cheap. Clickbait.
I do think ever since they were kicked out Frogmore and Charles refused to let Harry to literally just sleep for a night in a Royal property they decided to get their own house. I know that most people believe Meghan will never come back to England again but I disagree. They both have friends and charities that they still support. I don’t think they will ever stay for weeks at a time. But I think because of the kids, it’s easier to have their own space instead of staying at a hotel or finding a rental.
Louise177, and how do they make it safe?
I don’t think this is impossible – Harry has made it clear that he’s not cutting all ties with England as a country, and I’m sure he would like some sort of home base there, a place that he knows is secure, where they can leave some personal items, etc.
You know, a place kind of like Frogmore Cottage.
Do I think he’s buying a townhouse in Mayfair next week? No, lol. But I don’t think the general idea of them buying property in the UK is that far of a reach. I do think a lot will depend on the security issue.
I still don’t believe he ever asked Charles for a room. I think Harry knows not to ask his father for shit. I think Harry stays at a friend’s – either Elton’s or the owner of the Soho House.
I think he may have asked knowing he would be turned down. That’s a solid home run in his case for security since everyone is always like – just stay at one of the dozens of enormous palaces we pay for that are everywhere and have tons of security! And he can be like – yeah they said no.
I also didn’t believe he asked for a room, but now I am clearly in MoxyLady’s camp, hoping he did, to outfox them.
They are like fish in a barrel. I could outfox them.
Yeah, I agree. In terms of security is probably much better not to have a specific place the press can stalk when Harry is in the UK. If they (or rather he let’s be honest) only plans to visit very sporadically it doesn’t make sense to sink that much money into protecting a house/flat/whatever if the alternative is staying with trusthworthy friends or family members.
You know, he has an uncle just up the road – how much angst would there be if Earl Spencer put him up at Althorp? I’d buy popcorn for that!
And he’s close to his Spencer aunts . . . There are plenty of places for him to stay under the radar when he comes to the UK.
It boggles the mind that there are seemingly normal folks who walk amongst us, who still believe that Prince Harry ASKED THOSE CRIMINALLY RUTHLESS STOOGES who run the affairs of the British royal family for a one-night lodging while he was in England gor the WellChild event, followed by HIS PRIVATELY PLANNED VISIT to pay his respects on the anniv of his grandmorher’s death.
Oh I think that he did.
Knowing he would be rejected and that this would be the perfect ammo in his hearing to get armed security.
The idea that he has castles and palaces fully locked down with top notch security available to him that he refuses to use and he’s just being difficult in his desire for real security that is provided to dang near everyone is pervasive – thank you 💩 media – and needs to get knocked on its a$$. This accomplishes both.
That’s why I HOPE he did it. Even if he didn’t, his family went on record saying he did and they told him no so…..
MoxyLady007, except that once he’s off the palace’s grounds there is no royal security. Now the bm know where he’s at and they will follow him the moment he leaves to go somewhere. That doesn’t make any sense to me, and doesn’t solve the problem of being safe.
I believe this like I believe Willie went for a run in Central Park.
Wherever Harry lodges while in the UK currently is working for him. That location will work for the visits when he wants to bring the kids for a 2-week vacation. He has already worked out private security and transportation from that site. So that is Harry’s “home base” in the UK. He doesn’t need another. My theory is that he stays w one of the Spencer aunts who are off the radar of the tabloids. I feel the other possibilities mentioned– Soho House, Elton John’s homes — are too easily staked out by paps to be good options for Harry.
Let’s leave the Spencer’s out of it. They have been through enough. And clearly Harry isn’t at allll close with them. Not even a little bit.
(Also ssshhhhhhh!!!! We don’t want the rr to connect those dots!!!! Come on people! We need to HELP H&M by keeping things on the dl)
@MoxyLady007 Why would you think that Harry is “not even a little close to the Spencers”? He seemingly at least stays in contact with his aunts, and probably with some of his Spencer cousins. It is very likely that some Spencers attended Lili’s christening last year.
Jebus! @aftershocks. Read the bracketed portion again.
LMAO, MoxyLady007!
I bow to your covert skills. I usually disregard numbers after a name, but you have earned your 007 status!
I could be wrong but I think Harry was staying at FC up until the last visit. The last visit was the first one where he didn’t have access to FC. Or maybe that’s what was reported but is not actually true.
He couldn’t have stayed there for the last court appearances, because that was after they moved out the rest of their belongings, isn’t it?
I’m in the Harry would never ask Charles for a room at Windsor Castle camp. It wouldn’t be safe at all. His every moment would be spied upon. He’d have to sleep with a gun under his pillow, and who wants to do that?
Dean Winchester
Lol!
I doubt they are looking for a place in the UK but if they do, I hope it’s Scotland and not England. I just don’t see the point of him buying a place in the UK, they would never leave them alone and it seems the British media are much more aggressive. After Charles took Frogmore, Harry has no obligation to ever have a home there again.
There is the Spencer side of his family. He’s probably in contact with them. I keep forgetting about them.
isn’t he a duke? doesn’t he get land automatically or something? feel like maybe i’m watching too much downton abbey, but something something about peerage members always having some land and how aristocrats run UK bc they’e the upper class bc of this.
LOL……@hangonamin
My guilty pleasure used to be regency historical romances…..loooooooooong before H&M met and blew the lid off that fantasy world for me. I havent read another one since H&M’s wedding.
Anyhoooo, the historical part that still obtains is that it is the first-born who gets all the loot (like bullyragemonster). Any other child/ren + ALL other relatives become beggars to the vagina-lottery winner.
And as for H being a duke; I guess, as a son of the heir to the throne and, therefore, a member of the nobility, his fate is a little better than the average second, third, fourth-etc sons in the aristocracy, hence he gets a dukedom – albeit an empty one, i:e no assets attached.
‘Royal Dukes’ rank higher than ‘ordinary Dukes’ in precedence. I think even higher than Princes.
I disagree and will continue to do so – that Harry asked for a room. I think that does a disservice to Harry (and Meghan) because everyone knows the answer will be ‘no’. And ‘no room at the inn’, everyone knows that is nonsense. Someone pointed out before, which makes this slightly possible, that Harry might be playing chess while the others are playing baby checkers. That is, if he asks to stay at a secure property, given the known security threats, and they refuse, it is evidence for his court case against RAVEC. Everything was thrown off when the courts refused to let him pay for security but I think his security will be reinstated and, at this point british taxpayers will foot the bill. I cannot imagine on any planet where the son of the (so-called) king is refused security in his own country. But, we shall see because that lot has no shame and are constantly shooting themselves in the foot.
I agree with @kaiser that H would probably like some type of home base in the UK. I’m sure he loves living in the US but there’s times he may miss the familiarity and culture in the UK. It’s understandable as he spent most of his life there.
But I do agree about the security and they will never get privacy if the paps find out where their UK base will be and it can be a bit dangerous.
I’m sure he would like to have his children look back at their roots and heritage from his side. But yes It’s very tricky and the BP would definitely want access to both HM and esp their children as they grow older(I mean in way they are different from any of the BRF members as they’re bi-National having British/American heritage. Which IMO would cause interest on both sides of the Atlantic. And that’s what the tabs strive for: interest and clicks).
The BM may want access to their children, but they have no reason to have that access. One of the best things about H&M not being working royals is that they can protect their children. I don’t know if they’ll buy in the UK or not, but when they’re not in residence how is their home protected from the bm or PIs breaking in?
He left and make money talking lies about his family,his wife is disrespectful to his family he is out on his own. They wanted no part of his family except he kept calling his father for more money when his father stop giving him money all the trash talk started harry is mentally unstable and arrogant his jealousy of Prince of Whales William is destroying in inside, he should go on with his wife and should not expect money from taxpayers he never work a day of his life he has a rude awakening that to have money you have to work.
