Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are looking to recoup the $2.8 million they spent renovating Frogmore Cottage now that it’s no longer theirs, according to a royal expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been given an eviction notice by King Charles, who told the couple to “vacate” the property.

“I don’t think Buckingham Palace would give them notice and evict them and not recognize the fact that there is a certain period left to run under the lease. Harry and Meghan renewed their lease last year, and I’m sure they will look to get that money back.”

She continued, “I don’t think that’s going to be an issue — it’s more about the optics,” adding that it “means the King doesn’t care about the optics of this decision.”

“It’s his decision. Flavor added,” he added.
