So the Prince of Canada and his wife have been asked to gtfo out of Frogmore Cottage to make way for a paedophile. I guess that firmly lets them know where they stand in the pecking order!

Seems Andrew is currently in another property on the Estate atm, a 31 bedroom house and Charles is looking to stop his annual allowance so won't be able to afford the running costs, so he's going to have to slum it in this 10 bedroom 'cottage'

Looks like Charles is not being quite as sympathetic towards his family as his late mother was.

Frogmore Cottage has four bedrooms and a nursery room actually.

It has quite an interesting history with a wide range of tenants and occupiers if you are into such things, like I am:


The cottage was originally known as Double Garden Cottage and was listed in Queen Charlotte's 1801 accounts for her garden as having been built for £450 by a Mr Bowen.[7] Queen Victoria had breakfast at the cottage on 28 June 1875 and noted an "immense number of little frogs" which she found "quite disgusting".[8] The cottage has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since October 1975. The listing provides little of the history: "Early C19 plain 2 storey house with parapet. Centre break with porch. Glazing bar sashes. Stucco faced".[9]


19th and 20th century tenantsEdit​


The cottage was a retreat for Charlotte, the queen consort of George III, and her unmarried daughters.[10] The theologian Henry James Sr. and his family lived at the cottage in the 1840s.[11] A personal secretary of Queen Victoria's, Abdul Karim, moved to Frogmore Cottage in 1897 with his wife and father.[12][13] Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna in exile from her native Russia after the Russian Revolution stayed there in the 1920s.[14]


21st century tenantsEdit​


In the early 21st century, the cottage was a series of five separate units housing Windsor estate workers.[15]

In 2019, the house was converted into a four-bedroom-and-nursery single-family home at a reported cost of £2.4 million from the Sovereign Grant for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex prior to the birth of their son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, in May 2019.[16][17] As a property of a royal palace of state and designated heritage site, Frogmore Cottage was always scheduled to be renovated, regardless of occupant.[18][19] However, in January 2020, Buckingham Palace announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would step down as senior working members of the royal family and shared the couple's "wish to repay Sovereign Grant expenditure for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage".[20] In September, that sum was reportedly settled in full by the Duke and his lease on the property was extended to March 2022.[21][22]

Princess Eugenie, daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, took up residence with their son at the cottage in November 2020,[23][24][25] In February 2022, it was announced that Prince Harry planned to renew the lease on the cottage, which would allow him to remain domiciled in the UK.[26] In May 2022, it was reported that Harry's lease of the property had been renewed and Eugenie vacated the property.[27]

In March 2023, it was reported that Prince Andrew, who lives in the nearby 30-room Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park, had been offered Frogmore Cottage, and Prince Harry and his wife Meghan were requested to vacate the residence.[28][29] The couple were reportedly notified of the decision in January and have until after the coronation to vacate the property.[30]

Bit confusing as I thought (and BBC says) that Harry and Meghan were gifted Frogmore by the Queen. And they funded the £2.4m renovations a few years ago. Must be that the 'gift' was actually a discretionary lease, otherwise Charles wouldn't be able to turf them out. And even if it's discretionary, it's pretty harsh considering they paid so much for it to be done up.
 
It's largely circumstantial but would you carry on hanging around and staying over at your friends who had serious allegations against him regarding sex trafficking and being a nonce? And then seem horrendously suspicious with excuses like being at Pizza Express and not being able to sweat as excuses why you're innocent? Oh and pay £12m to a woman you don't know to stop her accusing you of being a nonce?

Where's there's smoke....

Andrews appealing & $M women is increasingly discredited, meanwhile meghan will be in court soon, wonder if conviction would break netflix contract.

I think we'll see the proof of the Kings' thriftiness come the coronation is someone analysing the soft power/tourism cost benefit of the expense.

I didn't want him to say anything. Under UK law, even if he did have sexual relations with Virginia, he still wouldn't be a paedophile as she was 17.

The attempted cover-up was to stop charges of sexual assault from Andrew and sex trafficking and abuse regarding Epstein.

I'm not saying Andrew isn't a bit of a wrongun, but we could just stick to the facts? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58871849
