Yes, the British media is still obsessed with Prince Harry’s Travalyst company filings. We learned last week that Harry changed Travalyst’s company filings to reflect the fact that he no longer has a residence in the UK. Harry backdated the filing to the date of his family’s eviction from Frogmore Cottage, which was June of last year. Harry changed his residence status to America. Royal experts have been screaming, crying and throwing up about it ever since: what does it all mean, how could Harry leave us, does this mean he’s never coming back, we never want him to come back, how dare he even consider coming back, please come back Harry so we can abuse you!! This week, royal expert Tom Quinn claimed that the palace is “incredulous” that Harry would change his residency officially and commit to “grubby commercial ventures.” Well, Quinn has more to say about how Harry was absolutely furious… that his father evicted him from the home which was gifted to him by his grandmother, a home in which the Sussexes had renovated at personal cost and a home for which they had a valid lease.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been labeled “out of touch” for thinking that Frogmore Cottage “would always be there for them” — even after quitting royal life in 2020.
According to royal author Tom Quinn, Harry, 39, was burned by his father King Charles’s decision to evict the runaway royals. “Harry and Meghan imagined Frogmore would always be there for them even if they came back to the UK for just a few weeks each year and even if they were no longer working royals,” Quinn told the Mirror. “That assumption speaks volumes about just how out of touch with each other King Charles and his son had become.”
“At the time, few people realized what a slap in the face the eviction from Frogmore felt like for Harry — it was the last straw,” he told the outlet. “Harry was absolutely furious and in tears about being evicted from Frogmore — he felt his father had no right to do it and that it was purely vindictive. Harry couldn’t see that choosing to stop being a working royal would inevitably mean being deprived of his royal residence. Harry took it as a cruel rejection — a painful reminder of all that he felt when his father fought with his mother during their long drawn out, painful divorce,” Quinn added.
“Whenever Charles puts his foot down, it seems unfair to Harry who feels that after everything that has happened to him, he should always get whatever he wants whether that be security paid for by the British taxpayer or a luxurious UK home. For many Harry is just a poor little rich kid behaving like a spoiled brat, but Harry sees himself as the eternal victim,” he added.
After evicting the property, the Sussexes were reported to try to recoup the $2.8 million they spent on revamping it.
Ah, yes, the spoiled brat who paid for the extensive renovations on a dilapidated shack and paid for the lease on said shack. The spoiled brat who repeatedly offered to pay back the costs of his police security while in the UK so that his safety would not cost the British taxpayers anything. The spoiled brat who genuinely believed that his grandmother gave him the gift of a family home, only to see his toxic, vindictive and spiteful dogsh-t father evict him. And after all of that, Frogmore Cottage is sitting empty. From everything we’ve heard over the past year, you’d think that Frogmore was the jewel in the royal real estate crown, that it was the most significant, important and sought-after cottage in England. Charles evicted his son’s family and now that cottage is just sitting there empty. Of course, I still halfway believe that Prince William probably moved in.

- 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*
Is it “out of touch” to believe that your one surviving parent wouldn’t make you homeless after you stopped being useful to him? Huh.
I guess it is “Out of touch” to believe a £2.4 milllion investment and a valid paid in full lease would mean something.
Did they receive their money back?
@Olivia not according to any budget the BRF has released. It did show they received full payment nothing has been refunded from what I can see.
It’s sitting empty like the British Royal Family is sitting empty… how Karmically prophetic.
“Of course, I still halfway believe that Prince William probably moved in.”
I have always believed William is living at Frogmore Cottage and has been living there since Kate and the kids moved to Adelaide Cottage.
It was out of touch for the British media and that family to believe that Harry (and Meghan, but you know they don’t GAF about her) would always be there for them after they relentlessly abused them and continue to do so to this day.
It was hardly a ‘dilapidated shack’ lol
it had been divided up into offices and was very shabby. it was not liveable as a house when it was given to them (by Harry’s grandmother, the Queen).
Charles is the spoiled brat. Harry and Meghan paid for the renovations. The queen gave the cottage to them as a gift. They are not runaway royals but driven away royals
And it was a petty an vindictive move for Charles to evict them. He also evicted two of his own grandchildren.
Yep. It was absolutely a vindictive move on Charles’ part. Charles is a vindictive king who evicted his grandchildren. Quinn is trying to put this on Harry but no it’s all on Charles.
100% absolutely. Who really swallows the narrative that Charles is “putting his foot down,” as if he weren’t actually stabbing Harry in the back? He’s a weak vindictive jerk ruled by his nanny, Camzilla.
And then the King complains that he would like to see his grandchildren, or was that bit made up by Quinn’s pals as well..
I sincerely wish folks would stop saying betty “gifted” the Sussexes Frogmore Cottage.
FFS!
How is something a “gift” if you have to:
1. PAY FOR THE RENOVATION WORKS EVEN THO ITS THE LANDLORD’S DUTY TO DO RENOVATION WORKS (H&M reimbursed the Crown 2.4M Pnds for the 2.4M Pnds renovation works that were done on Frogmore Cottage to bring it up to a 5-bedroom, single family home………..even tho it was BETTY’S JOB to find the money to maintain Crown property.)
2. PAY US$3M OF YOUR OWN MONEY FOR INTERIORS WORKS AND DECORATION
3. PAY AN ANNUAL LEASE
All. Of. This.☝🏾
THIS!
Kaiser, you said it all so well, you saved me the energy of ranting.
I think it was just the final step in Harry’s journey of discovering the squalid depths to which his father and brother would willingly sink to enact revenge on him for cutting the puppet strings and daring to become a wholly formed independent human being.
Anyway, that journey has ended and now Harry is on far more fulfilling ones.
After the treatments of them (mainly Meghan) during the QE2 funeral weeks and the Frogmore Cottage eviction, I hope the wool over Harry’s eyes in regarding to his family was finally, totally pulled off. Not all birth family has your best interests in mind. The history of British Royal Family taught us that they’re ruthless, selfish & egomaniac. Harry, his wife & children were not sent to The Tower only because the BRF cannot get away with it at this modern era.
Harry reacted by sadly asking Charles: Don’t you want to see your own grandchildren?
Is this really true? I know it was written in one of the books about Charles but we don’t know for sure that actually happened.
That is the implication and he didn’t even need to say it. “get your things and get out” is not an endearment. He made it clear that he does not value any of them.
It’s likely that the only grandchild Charles values is George.
What we can be certain of is that his mixed-race grandchildren mean absolutely nothing to him.
“At the time, few people realized what a slap in the face the eviction from Frogmore felt like for Harry — it was the last straw,” he told the outlet. “Harry was absolutely furious and in tears about being evicted from Frogmore” how could you possibly know this, Tom Quinn? I know they make up things but I really don’t understand how a newspaper could print something that is so clearly someone just writing fanfiction?!! Also I should be impressed. They have managed to squeeze dozens of articles out of a single line on an address form. Its petty of me but I take pleasure in knowing that at best he’s made a few hundred dollars on all his hand wringing. I hope he continues to make peanuts.
I am with you on believing that Peggy moved in there. He is that kind of creepy imo.
I agree that creepy, scummy Willnot is living there now. And I bet he is not paying any rent! Because he’s the heir!
Yup. And pissing and shitting all over the walls to mark his territory.
“Frogmore is MINE now, Harold! All miiiinnneee!”
Wonder if he likes Meghan’s decor.
Rose, he’s probably wankfantasizing that Meghan is his hot mistress and he stole her from Harry.
You just know that he sleeps on Harry’s side of the bed in the primary suit of FC from time to time. And he brings in a mistress he can call Meghan while watching box sets together.
How insane a father must be to evict his own son from a home given to him by his grandmother when the father himself is a gazilionnaire king with so many empty properties in his portfolio? Yup, that’s the kind of man he is. They keep showing us who they are – we’re not incredulous
Why does nobody in the press call Charles out for taking back a literal wedding gift that he didn’t even give? What disrespect to his mother’s memory and wishes.
MTE: I find it deeply unfair that Harry is a member of the royal family by birthright and his own dad evicted him out of his grandmother’s wedding gift. What right does King Charles have to treat his own flesh and blood like that? Harry is entitled to a share of the family wealth and they cut him off. It’s a shame.
Because the BM kowtows to the royal family to get the tidbits of stories they throw to the tabloid vultures. It’s an unholy relationship and built entirely on lies but it’s been showing some cracks lately. The tabloids are sitting on a shit-ton of scandals.
“it seems unfair to Harry who feels that after everything that has happened to him, he should always get whatever he wants whether that be security paid for by the British taxpayer or a luxurious UK home. For many Harry is just a poor little rich kid behaving like a spoiled brat, but Harry sees himself as the eternal victim”. Substitute Andrew’s name for Harry’s and this guy would have it just about right. Of course Andrew has never been deprived and mistreated like Harry but his sense of entitlement is right up there. Too bad Tom Quinn can’t see the forest for the trees like the rest of the Rota enablers.
This sh– they print isn’t even accurate. Frog. Cott. is not a luxurious home. And Harry was asking to pay for his own security, not have taxpayers pay.
The RF prefer Andrew and his friends to Harry and his wife.
Being a “working royal” is not the same as being a member of the royal family. Harry is the king’s son. Andrew is supposedly a non-working royal, but he still has his residence. Of course, he shouldn’t but he does. And his ex-wife lives there too.
This. The fact that Andrew was allowed to keep his (much larger, much more luxurious) home on the estate says it all: this has nothing to do with being a “working royal”, and was intended as a cruel and petty punishment for Harry’s supposed disloyalty.
They’d downgrade Andrew if they could. He has a lease for 75 years. QE could have done something similar for H&M if she had cared to.
But didn’t they HAVE a lease?
Petty KC evicted them anyway.
RL falls under the Crown Estates and would have a lease. FC apparently was a residence that the monarch could hand out. I wonder if they did have a written lease or if it was for a shorter term. Otherwise, H&M chose not to fight to have the lease honored, but Andrew is willing to fight Charles to keep his residence.
@equality – was just thinking about this. @nota always had a lot of information on these subjects, and I was trying to remember what she (?) said about Frogmore in previous discussions. My (vague) recollection is, it had some kind of unusual status that meant H&M had no specific legal recourse. Think it was something about it being a property which TQ had at her disposal, different than a grace and favor home. (Royal peculiar popped into my head but I think that refers to churches.) I think too they had a short term lease; weren’t there articles about them renewing it? Need to go back and look at older articles to see if I’m remembering this at all correctly as @nota hasn’t commented for quite a while.
They won’t downgrade Andrew, ever. He has too much kompromat on the King and probably the heir also.
Chucky has a big circle of pedo friends. Past and present.
Windyriver, I think FC is part of the crown estate on crown lands and is owned by the monarch. So I don’t think it could have been gifted outright to them. But I could be wrong about that.
Sure, they’d downgrade Andrew if they could but he’d still have a home. And he’s not a working royal. They say they wanted him to move into FC. So even then he’d have a home and and still not be a working royal. So it makes that argument of how could Harry think he could still have a home after no longer being a working royal obsolete. That argument doesn’t hold water. Charles is vindictive and he did evict his grandchildren.
No, the argument about “working” royals makes no sense when you consider that Eugenie leases Ivy Cottage (and isn’t there full time either since she also resides in Portugal) and Bea leases on a royal estate and neither have ever been “working” royals.
The lease for FC was renewed every year when the queen was alive. I remember thinking a one year lease, are you serious? Talk about a gift!
I remember it as a short term lease as well. Perhaps they didn’t renew it because they didn’t want it, we only have the word of an ‘expert’ that Harry was upset.
@WindyRiver, I’ve also been wondering about Nota; she’s been gone for so long. I hope she’s okay.
@Lorelei – yes, have been wondering about @nota, as well, she’s taken some breaks before but it’s been a while now since we’ve seen her.
Would like to correct what I said above. I have a clear mental screenshot of a comment by @nota I thought was relevant, but must be mistaken. Went back through older CB Frogmore articles looking for it; but what @nota said, in more than one place, was, first, Frogmore Cottage WAS part of the Crown Estate (as @Feeshalori also says above), and second, there was something odd about the lease being short term. To quote @nota’s comment from June 24, 2021:
“This has me completely confused. No other royal had this kind of weird annual lease agreement. You pay to renovate the Crown Estate Property, pay a lump sum, get a multi-decade lease in return.”
Said maybe H&M didn’t want to sign a lease that long, or maybe the option wasn’t offered. Even in March last year, when we talked about Charles kicking them out of Frogmore, @nota still referred to “the Crown Estate weirdness around Frogmore Cottage.”
So, because a son decided that he did not want the job that his father wanted him to continue in the family business, his extremely wealthy and controlling father evicted the son and his family from their only home — one that the son and his wife had paid to renovate after they were “gifted” it by his paternal grandmother following their wedding.
Yes, it’s a lot more complicated than that, and a lot uglier than that. Take the names out, though, imagine that this happened in any other family, and then imagine people crowing about it as though it makes sense. Charles and all who support his actions are deeply nasty, hate-filled, immoral people— and not only are they comfortable with being nasty, hate-filled, immoral people, they are proud of it, they crow about it daily throughout multiple media outlets. That this interlocks with a history of racism is also readily apparent .
Supposedly, the British Royal family is valued for their role in encouraging tourism and as living symbols of their country. And this is how they actively choose to advertise and show themselves. Every screed like this makes it clear why Queen Elizabeth held on so long.
Chuckle proves over and over he is a rotten father and an evil human.
Bea and Eugenie have never been “working” royals but lease property on royal estates. Why would it be unreasonable for PH to think that a house he paid to lease and paid to renovate would be there for his use? Does KC police how often Eugenie uses Ivy Cottage since her move to Portugal? If he did cry over it hopefully it was a grieving process for the relationship with his father and he now realizes that it will never be a true father-son type relationship so he can move on.
Irrelevant argument since the Crown Estate leases flats in Kensington Palace, St. James Palace and houses on the Windsor Estate to private individuals anyways.
Yea really out of touch having used their own money for property upgrades & later repaid £2.4m for the publicly funded renovation amount. Really out of touch after the palace said in 2021 Frogmore would remain their uk residence. Really spoilt of Harry to assume his own father would care that he & Charles grandchildren had a secured uk home. Especially when this home apparently currently sits empty
I note Quinn trying to justify Charles callous move to suggest it’s linked to being a working riyal as if Andrew & Fergie don’t have royal lodge, as if their daughters don’t have use of royal property like St James palace & Ivy Cottage. As if Prince Michael didn’t have use of Kensington Palace flat.
No Charles is just cruel & no propaganda can wipe that away
Ferg ie got to keep her title post divorce and as a divorcee of many years gets to stay at the lodge rent free. And she uses the title in business enterprises. Charles is a hypocrite
Lady Colin Campbell has kept her title for 50 years since her husband divorced her, It is normal practice. She uses it to gain entry to society.
Does the mirror have Tom Quinn on a retainer?
Harry is no fool. Nothing the royals or rota do would surprise him at this point. He realized about 2018/2019 when the royals refused to intervene in the horrid press coverage his family were receiving where he stood with his family. The royals have done nothing but fail him further. His father/brother willingingly put Harry and his family in physical danger by simultaneously pulling their security and leaking their location. Being an actual vet forced to wear a suit while all his relatives wore their unearned military regalia at the Queen’s funeral/memorial and forcing Harry to give up his military patronages reinforced how horrid the royal family really is. He saved himself and his family by leaving and knew the negativity would never stop from the royals and rota. Rota: Harry is never coming back.
Amen. The lad got free. He got the freedom his mother aimed for and never achieved.
I think this is why the palaces and the rota continue to attack him. Because he survived to tell the tale.
They keep writing stories about them because they sell advertising space. The content is unimportant as long as it is nasty it works for them.
I feel Harry had blinders on when it came to his family. When chucky announced there was no money to support Meghan, the alarm should have gone off for harry. Chucky kept showing Harry who he really was, but Harry kept giving him the benefit of the doubt. It truly is tragic how Harry lost the one parent parent who truly loved him and was stuck with the vile excuse of human that is chucky.
💯, @vader
@Vader
*Stands up and applauds*
@Vader – I think there’s truth to this, but I see two other likely factors that kept him in the fold. The first, lack of confidence that he could successfully make a life for himself away from the RF. One way Meghan coming into his life was enormously helpful was, once together with her, he was able to see another path. The second, his love for and loyalty to his grandmother, TQ. When push came to shove, of course, grandmother or no, he did what he had to do for himself and his family and got out.
If it were me, suddenly pulling Harry and his family’s security when they were in Canada would have been the unforgivable moment. I’m sure at this point Harry’s well aware of what all his family are capable of. I have to imagine, if he still shows some grace to his father, like the visit when he heard about Charles’ cancer, it’s because he knows things the rest of us don’t, and/or, he simply wants to have no regrets after Charles passes about how he himself behaved.
I hear ya @windyriver. Meghan was the one that showed him what was possible.
I think H placed too much trust and respect in betty though. I guess she was a far better grandma to him than chucky was a father.
Personally, my last straw would have been when the brf kept silent after the bbc radio host posted a pic comparing Archie to a monkey. They had no problem putting a statement about the tatler article but they stayed quiet on that!??
What “last straw”? Not for Harry, who’s been living in California for the past 4 years. Maybe for the press, who’ve just realized that fact.
Eurydice, I suspect the single act of booting the Sussexes out of Frogmore Cottage is something that is now something that KFC is probably regretting now. With everything that is going on the family this year, he has to know (or Harry will tell him) that asking Harry to help out in any way shape or form is very problematic because of security issues. I’m not suggesting that Harry would agree to help the family, but how could that even be on the table?
The eviction was the last straw for many of us. He refused to work with the RoTA, he did not refuse to work. When that was deemed unacceptable, he chose to step back from official royal duties because of the RoTA’s abuse of his wife. He NEVER stopped being a member of the family. He was evicted by his father from the family home given to him by his grandmother, the Queen.
For me, that was the gut punch, that was the final nail in the coffin, the final disgusting act that forced me to abandon all the respect I inherited and was ingrained in me from my mother, who loved and even identified with the Queen, both young women during the war. They did many cruel, underhanded, demeaning and ultimately racist things to dim their brightest light and most relatable couple in the family. Harry had every right to feel hurt and angry. That’s what they wanted, to hurt him. To remove everything that mattered to him in the hopes he would come crawling back. Instead and obviously, it solidified and confirmed Harry’s decision to leave was the best decision for the safety and sanity of himself, his wife and his babies. I remain disgusted by the ongoing acts of violence perpetrated against Prince Harry and his family.
💯❗
I’d love to know what UK residence they would expect Harry to claim since his father evicted him from Frogmore.
Well, duh ! And water is wet too. I swear these people are getting dumber by the day.
I don’t get it. Just because he is no longer “working”, H is still a royal. Full stop. Take away the titles and He. Is. Still. Royal. I believe it was a perfectly reasonable expectation that they continue to have a place to live on royal grounds. There are plenty of non-working royals who currently reside in royal residences.
It’s all so petty.
Yes, this, exactly, Krista. You said what I tried to with fewer words! Well done. Clear and concise and exactly right. Harry will ALWAYS be a royal.
Yeah, Harry is such a spoiled brat that he served two tours in Afghanistan and loved his military service so much that he founded a nonprofit for wounded service members and veterans. What a pampered, sheltered crybaby!
I do suspect that the head of the armed forces doesn’t want to see lots of publicity about forces personnel suffering life changing injuries, makes recruitment more difficult.
Let us never forget that KFC evicted his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren but kept the brother who paid to have sex with teenagers. That’s all you need to know about the royal family.
HuffnPuff, not just teenagers, but trafficked teenagers.
@Saucy&Sassy not just trafficked teenagers, but trafficked adolescents and preadolescents.
In the testimony about the orgy on the island with very young girls “looking 8 or 9.”
These damn demons #thatfamily all up in pedophilia. Tampon Kang wanted Jimmy Scoville to be Harry’s Godfather but Diana put her foot down.
Chronic liars. Harry didn’t ask for anything for free, he paid to remodel Frogmore, paid rent and wants to pay for security. Was removing security unfair? IDK, most people think the head of states children should have security. The US president’s family does while in office.
It would be BEYOND creepy if William is in FC. LOL!
Excuse me Tommy, wtf, runaway royals? Like are you really using 66the term runaway anything when a black woman is involved? Shut the f up you racist piece of trash. It really is time to get a dump truck and collect all these royal rota rats , make that 99 percent of the British media and take their trash azzzz racist behinds to the dumpster.
I might have missed this thought being voiced already. I wonder if its empty because racism and the RF treating the home as not worthy of other than Biracial people.
When filling out that form WTF was Prince Harry supposed to put? He has no home in the UK despite Queen Elizabeth’s wishes.
