Prince Harry and Meghan Markle break their silence after being evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have been asked to "vacate" Frogmore Cottage, their spokesperson has confirmed.
The Sun revealed in a world exclusive that the pair were being evicted by King Charles after the release of Harry's explosive memoir Spare.
It has now been revealed that the couple received a "request" to leave their beloved home near Windsor Castle.
The spokesperson said: "We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage."
Harry and Meghan are now drawing up plans to ship their remaining belongings to the US - as a new tenant prepares to move in.
Disgraced Prince Andrew was offered the keys to the five-bed property by the monarch last week.

King Charles began the process of chucking Harry and Meghan out of Frogmore Cottage just 24 hours after his son’s controversial memoir was released.
Buckingham Palace issued an eviction notice to the US-based couple as the world reeled from the extraordinary attacks Harry launched against the Royal Family.
The prince had previously taken aim at Charles - suggesting his dad made him "suffer" in an interview with Oprah.
Speaking to the chat show legend on their new Apple TV+ mental health show, The Me You Can’t See, Harry said: “My father used to say to me when I was younger … ‘Well, it was like that for me, so it’s going to be like that for you."

He added: "That doesn’t make sense — just because you suffered, that doesn’t mean that your kids have to suffer, in fact quite the opposite."
In his tell-all bio, he described his step-mother as "dangerous” and “the villain.”
He also shockingly accused Camilla of leaking stories to the press and claims she launched a campaign to marry Charles to get the crown.
'CRUEL'
Now, the Sussexes are said to have been left "powerless" with no way to halt the ousting from the Grade II listed pad.
An insider said: "This surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK".
But the couple brushed off their property woes on Tuesday and headed on their first date night since Spare was published two months ago.
They cosied up together at Hollywood restaurant San Vicente Bungalows.
The Duke of York, who faces being booted out of his Royal Lodge mansion, was last week offered the smaller Frogmore Cottage, and is said to be "resisting".
He is said to be keen to cling onto his larger residence which boasts 30 rooms, a swimming pool and 98 acres of land.
But Harry and Meghan are believed to have no choice but to quit the Windsor property, a gift from the late Queen, which will leave them without a UK home.
They are now arranging plans to remove their belongings from the home and ship everything to Montecito, California.
The couple's close pal and confidante Omid Scobie said an insider described the decision to strip them of their safe haven as "cruel".
Harry and Megan sought solace at the royal residence that is within the security perimeter of the Windsor Estate.
It offered them another degree of protection when in the UK after they were forced to fork out for their own security.
A source told Scobie today: "It all feels very final and like a cruel punishment.
"It's like [the family] want to cut them out of the picture for good. Harry and Meghan have until early summer to vacate.
"Initially they were given just weeks, but now they have at least until after the Coronation".
FAMILY FEUD
The Sun's royal expert Matt Wilkinson said the Royal's had made their message loud and clear - Meghan and Harry are "not welcome" here anymore.
The move has thrown into doubt the couple’s chances of getting an invite to the Coronation of Charles and Queen Consort Camilla at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
Tensions remain fraught between the father and son ahead of the historical day when he will be crowned.
A source told The Sun the King wanted to put their issues "to bed" before the ceremony as it has ";dragged on for far too long".
The eviction comes after Harry launched a string of accusations against his family in Spare — which was published in January.
They included describing his “arch-nemesis” brother William knocking him to the ground in a row over Meghan.
He also accused Camilla of leaking stories about the brothers.
The book followed similar bombshells from Harry and Meghan in an Oprah Winfrey US TV interview and their Netflix docuseries.
An insider said: “This eviction surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK.
“Andrew is resisting the idea of moving into Frogmore Cottage after he was offered it last week.
"But it shows Harry and Meghan are powerless to stop the eviction".
FAREWELL FROGMORE
Scobie claimed that at least two members of the Royal Family are "appalled" by the sudden removal from Frogmore Cottage.
But Charles' plans are understood to be backed by working royals including Queen Consort Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The eviction has sparked a civil war between The Firm's "workers and shirkers" in the family.
Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, were given use of the five-bedroom home by the Queen as a wedding present in 2018.
The couple claimed it would mean "their family would always have a place to call home in the United Kingdom".
They ordered £2.4million worth of renovations before moving in the following April.
But they spent just six months in their new place before settling Megxit terms in 2020 — as The Sun first revealed in a world exclusive.
The couple left the UK for a new life abroad, first to Canada and then California — all the while hurling regular barbs at their family.
Harry later paid back the cost of the renovations to the taxpayer in a deal which included leasing Frogmore Cottage for "several years".
In autumn 2020, they handed the keys to Princess Eugenie and hubby Jack Brooksbank, who have now moved to Portugal.
Harry’s sporadic trips back included staying there for Prince Philip’s funeral in 2021 — weeks after he and Meghan put the boot into the royals in the Oprah interview.
Frogmore also provided the location for their daughter Lilibet's first birthday party in June last year.
Harry stunned his family after describing in his book Spare a private row with William and Charles on the grounds of the cottage hours after the ceremony.
The Sussexes are thought to have been issued with an eviction notice around a month ago in the wake of the book’s publication.
It is believed the couple — parents to Archie, three, and 18-month-old Lilibet — have not been offered an alternative UK home.

Harry is already said to have requested items including an ornate ottoman bench and a chaise longue to be sent to California.
Astonishingly, Prince Andrew, 63, who has been stripped of his royal titles in disgrace, was last week offered their cottage as his new home by the Palace.
