it has been revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially changed their primary residence to the United States, marking a significant move away from Britain. This update comes as new documents shed light on the exact date when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex vacated their former residence, Frogmore Cottage, in Windsor.
According to filings published by Companies House, Prince Harry, formally known as Prince Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex, updated his official business records to reflect the change in his primary residence. The document now lists the United States as his “New Country/State Usually Resident,” a departure from the previous listing of the United Kingdom.
According to Express, The timing of this change aligns with the date when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved out of Frogmore Cottage, which was June 29 of the preceding year. Buckingham Palace had confirmed their departure from the cottage, marking the finalization of their transition away from their royal duties and life in the UK.
This revelation has prompted discussions and reactions, including calls for action from King Charles, Prince Harry’s father and the future monarch. Royal author Angela Levin has urged King Charles to take action in response to Prince Harry’s decision to officially list the US as his primary residence. Specifically, Levin called for Prince Harry to be removed as a “Counsellor of State,” a role that involves standing in for the monarch if needed, given his now severed ties with Britain.
Levin’s call underscores the implications of Prince Harry’s decision for his status within the British royal family and his role in supporting the monarchy. By formally designating the US as his primary residence, Prince Harry has effectively signaled his intention to establish a more permanent presence outside of the UK. This move has raised questions about his continued involvement in royal affairs and his eligibility for certain roles and responsibilities within the royal family.
The change in Prince Harry’s primary residence also has broader implications for his security arrangements and media interactions. As a member of the royal family, Prince Harry has received top-level security protection, which may need to be reassessed in light of his relocation to another country. Additionally, his status as a public figure and his interactions with the media may be influenced by his new residency status and the legal jurisdiction that comes with it.
The decision to officially list the US as his primary residence reflects Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ongoing efforts to carve out a new life for themselves outside of the constraints of royal duties and expectations. Since stepping back from their roles as senior members of the royal family in 2020, the couple has pursued various ventures, including philanthropic initiatives and business endeavors, while residing in California
