Harry and Meghan frogmarched out of Windsor home

It sounds like King Charles III is getting on smartly with reducing the size of the monarchy and booting out those who are not playing a part in the royal family business. I didn't think Charles was the ruthless type but it seems he is. Harry and Meghan were never going to be allowed to hang on to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Park, despite lavishing £2.4 million from the sovereign's purse on upgrading, refurnishing and repainting it all to their taste. Even so, I'm sure Harry and Meghan fancied the idea of keeping Frogmore Cottage as their UK hideway whenever, if ever, they came to Britain. But according to whispering royal sources, they have been served an eviction notice by His Majesty and they've got to start getting all their furniture out and over to California. The furniture includes an ottoman bench and a chaise longue, my dear. All self-respecting country cottages should have an ottoman bench and a chaise longue. What I don't understand is if, as is being claimed, Prince Andrew has been told to move into Frogmore Cottage from his 30-room mansion with 98 acres and a swimming pool, also in Windsor Park, why don't they just leave all the furniture for Andrew to enjoy, instead of paying a fortune (presumably not THEIR fortune) to ship it all over to their mansion in Los Angeles? Haven't they already got tons of furniture in their American place? By all accounts Andrew doesn't want to leave his fancy lodge for a Meghan interior-designed cottage, so Charles could be facing a bit of a royal challenge. Are there such things as royal bailiffs? All this talk of evictions and ottomans has added to the debate going on about whether Harry and Meghan should attend Charles and Camilla's coronation in May. I'm not sure anyone really cares anymore. But my prediction is that Harry will come alone. Meghan will say she can't spare the time. While Harry is over he can do a quick check on Frogmore Cottage to make sure nothing has been left (light bulbs, curtain rails, door handles perhaps?) for his uncle to get his hands on when or if he moves into the cottage from his lodge.
