PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle’s eviction from Frogmore Cottage has left royal fans and experts wondering where they will stay next time they visit the UK.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex yesterday finally cleared out of the Windsor royal home and returned the keys to King Charles.

Five-bed, Grade II-listed Frogmore — given a £2.4million makeover by the Sussexes — is now set to be rented out.
Harry and Meghan lived at the cottage, a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth, for just six months.
Earlier this year HOAR revealed the Sussexes were served with an eviction notice days after Harry’s book Spare was released.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam told HOAR: “I don’t think it’s any coincidence that they were told to vacate as soon as Spare came out.
“Obviously this was a very, very, clear signal from the firm that they were fighting back because of the book causing a lot of embarrassment for the royal family.
“The question now is what will they do when they travel over here.
“Will there be some arrangement whereby they will be put up by the royal family?
“Or will they make their own arrangements?”
HOAR understands the Sussexes would have to reach a “private agreement” with Charles if they did want to stay at any royal homes again.
But they are barely on speaking terms after their Netflix series and Harry’s tell-all memoir.
Mr Fitzwilliam added: “It does seem that Harry, and Meghan, don’t care at all about the UK.
“They have no interest in their popularity or taking on roles here – they just care about their US audience.
“I think that the relations between Harry and William are also at an all time low. I don’t see any possibility of that being repaired.”
Aides will not say whether Prince Andrew will leave 31-room Royal Lodge to move into the cottage.
It is understood the Duke of York is resisting and has a 75-year lease on his current home.
Several royal properties are now empty.
They include Buckingham Palace and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester’s former apartments at Kensington Palace.
Others at St James’s Palace have been offered to Prince Andrew as a London crash pad.
