This Frogmore thing is interesting. As part of the January Megxit negotiations, they kept Frogmore as their UK base - that was always made clear. Back in May, we heard about the 'repayment plan' of £18k a month which was both rent and a repayment of their personal element of the renovations (copper bathtubs and the like). So again, as of May, they were keeping Frogmore as a base.
What changed? They signed a deal with Netflix that included personal video filmed in the Royal Palaces, including BP, Frogmore, and who knows where and what else, and seem to have signed a deal to supply more footage based on their lives (but its Not A Reality Show, OK?) Straight away in September we hear that they repaid a lump sum for the renovations, and reading today's news, they probably lost access to Frogmore at that point. Not to put too fine a point on it, they are a security risk. So now they have no legitimate reason to enter Windsor Park with a camera crew in their entourage. They can't film stuff at Frogmore, which is part of the Crown Estate. They are banished.
All the PR they are pushing out about 'letting Eugenie and Jack couch surf at Frogmore' is face-saving rubbish. They had the keys to Frogmore pulled after the video tapes and reality documentary Netflix deal were revealed.
ETA. In the
Sun story, we had this interesting paragraph
Documents filed by Meghan’s lawyers last week read: “They were given residence in Frogmore Cottage (one of HM The Queen’s historic dwellings in Windsor Great Park).
"It is denied that the claimant (Meghan) has the option of living in Kensington Palace or any other royal palace as her official residence.”
Why were the ANL lawyers asking questions to clarify where Meghan has been living? Was this to do with collecting digital evidence? So they wanted to know which
IP address (this lie that influencers spread explained here) /servers might be relevant (
@kev1974 do you have any ideas on this?)
