In a surprising turn of events, Prince William and Princess Kate are unlikely to call Frogmore Cottage their home.
This charming residence, previously inhabited by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, seems to be off-limits for the future king and queen.
As King Charles initiates a significant reorganization of royal properties, speculation about the couple’s next move is heating up.
Reports suggest that neither William nor Kate has any interest in moving into a space that was designed by Meghan.
According to royal insiders, the couple is more inclined to find a different royal residence altogether.
The implications of their choice reflect the ongoing tensions between the royal family and the Sussexes, who have made California their permanent home.
Commenting on the situation, former royal writer Michael Cole shared insights with GB News reporter Anne Diamond.
She pointed out that Kate would likely avoid a property associated with Meghan, emphasizing the emotional weight tied to such a decision.
“It’s a big place,” she remarked, hinting at the complexities of royal housing politics.
Kate’s reluctance to occupy a home redesigned by Meghan is further complicated by the fact that Prince Andrew remains entrenched in his own royal lodge.
Reports indicate that King Charles is keen to see Andrew vacate the premises, especially after stripping him of his security detail.
This move has led many to speculate that Andrew’s days at the royal lodge may be numbered.
The Duke of York has been living in the 30-room palace since 2004, following the death of the Queen Mother.
While he holds the lease with the Crown Estate, it’s important to note that he does not own the property outright.
The royal family is reportedly eager for him to step down, which raises questions about where he might go next.
Adding to the intrigue, sources suggest that William has made it clear to friends that he won’t be inviting Harry to the upcoming coronation.
This decision underscores the rift between the brothers and adds another layer of complexity to the royal family’s dynamics.
As for Andrew, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, he has received an invitation to spend the summer at the Balmoral Estate.
