Prince Harry reportedly left ‘in tears’ after dad King Charles kicked him out of royal cottage
|Prince Harry has reportedly been left “in tears” after his father evicted him from his former royal home.
The tension between the British Royal Family and Prince Harry has been the center of controversy ever since the latter decided to quit his public duties and start a new life in the US with his wife and two children – a decision that seemingly left a bad taste in the mouths of his family and the public.
Things accelerated after the 39-year-old decided to publish a tell-all memoir back in March 2023. This coincided with Harry’s father, King Charles III, evicting him from Frogmore Cottage.
A few weeks later, he and his wife, Meghan Markle, were officially served their eviction notice.

In fact, at the time, a source even told The Standard that Harry is “absolutely furious and in tears” over his family’s removal.
“The Sussex’s are no longer leasing Frogmore Cottage. That privilege has been removed,” they confirmed per The Mirror.
“It’s over for them in the UK. If they want a residence in the UK they will have to buy one privately,” they added.
In June 2023, the Sussexes finally handed back the keys to the cottage and the couple’s remaining possessions were shipped to their home in California.

Delving deeper into the issue, a royal expert told The Mirror that Harry felt as though his father was being petty over the issue.
“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,” Tom Quinn told the outlet.
He went on to state that Harry “couldn’t see that choosing to stop being a working royal would inevitably mean being deprived of his royal residence”, with the Duke of Sussex taking it as a “cruel rejection.”
Quinn also said that the eviction served as “a painful reminder of all that he felt when his father fought with his mother during their long drawn out, painful divorce.”
“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,” he added.

The royal expert concluded by telling the outlet that despite the general public opinion about the former British prince, he will always see himself as a “victim”.
“For many Harry is just a poor little rich kid behaving like a spoiled brat, but Harry sees himself as the eternal victim,” Quinn concluded.
