The former residence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Frogmore Cottage, has been embroiled in controversy as the palace was sealed off following the shocking discovery of 4 pounds of illegal drugs hidden in a medicine box.
The royal couple, who relocated to the United States in 2020, were officially evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles after it was revealed by a British paper on February 28th, 2023.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have vacated Frogmore Cottage, having repaid the expenses incurred by the Sovereign Grant for the cottage’s renovation, leaving the crown with a significantly improved asset.
Their belongings were swiftly shipped to their California home, marking the end of their association with the royal abode.
However, the situation took a dramatic turn when royal staff stumbled upon the illicit drugs concealed inside an old medical box during the clearing out process.
This startling revelation led to the immediate sealing off of Frogmore Cottage for further investigation, with Meghan and Harry slated to be questioned regarding the drugs found on the premises.
Among the items discovered in the medicine box were a green oxygen tank, prescription medications, medical supplies, catheters, disposable needles, alcohol pads, and a bottle of LSD.
Speculation arose that the drugs may have been overlooked by the couple during their hasty departure from Frogmore Cottage due to its secluded location and the drugs being stored in a medical container.
The news of the drug discovery did not come as a complete surprise, as Prince Harry had previously admitted to his past drug use in his memoir and interviews.
His candid revelations about experimenting with drugs, including psychedelic mushrooms, are expected to have legal implications as discussions unfold within the royal family and Parliament regarding his position in the succession line.
The Conservative Heritage Foundation has taken action by requesting Prince Harry’s immigration records from the Department of Homeland Security, aiming to expose any discrepancies between his visa application and his disclosed drug history.
This development underscores the potential repercussions of Harry’s past drug use on his current standing and future endeavors.
In light of these revelations, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle face the reality of no longer having a base in the U.K. unless they reach a private agreement with King Charles for any future stays at royal residences.
The couple’s tumultuous journey, including their eviction from Frogmore Cottage and the drug scandal, has captured the attention of royal fans worldwide.
Additionally, the Netflix series “Harry and Meghan,” which provided a glimpse inside Frogmore Cottage, has come under scrutiny for potentially portraying a fabricated scene of the couple packing up and visiting the residence during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.
As the fallout from the drug discovery continues to unfold, Prince Harry’s past actions and disclosures are poised to shape his future interactions with the royal family and the public.
