Harry and Meghan shrug off Frogmore eviction drama as they enjoy date night

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared to brush off the drama surrounding their eviction from Frogmore Cottage as they beamed while enjoying a date night at an exclusive private members club in LA.

The couple were seen at the £3,500-a-year San Vicente Bungalows on Tuesday night - just as it was emerging that they had been asked to leave their UK home by King Charles.

The King is said to have made the decision to remove them from the Windsor property as there has been no thaw in their relationship with the Royal Family.

The decision is reported to have left Harry and Meghan "stunned", while two other members of the Royal Family are allegedly "appalled". A spokesperson for the couple has since confirmed they were "requested to vacate" the property.

But despite the drama, the couple were seen smiling as they made their way from their car into the swish venue, which is one of the biggest celebrity hotspots in LA.

As their car pulled up outside the club, Harry emerged for the vehicle first looking casual in jeans, a navy top and a smart grey coat.

He was followed by Meghan who sported a £1,130 beige Carolina Herrera cape coat along with vegan leather trousers and heels and a bag by Dior. A female friend also joined them for the outing.

After spending time at the club, they then emerged from the venue hand-in-hand and looked upbeat along with the friend and got into a waiting car before they pulled off.

According to Meghan and Harry's unofficial biographer Omid Scobie, the decision to boot the couple out came just days after the Duke of Sussex released his controversial memoir Spare in January.

The co-author of the book about Harry and Meghan Finding Freedom said the couple was told the property was needed for "someone else" and that relations between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the Firm was at "an all-time low".

And writing for Yahoo, he explained: "It's news, sources tell me, that has left Harry and Meghan stunned, and at least two members of the Royal Family 'appalled'."

He also adds that a source says Harry and Meghan have been given until the summer, after the Coronation, to remove their belongings after initially being told they would just be given two weeks.

And quotes a friend of the couple as saying: "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 made a number of damning allegations against his family in his memoir Spare, released in January, exposing many of the royals' intimate secrets and private conversations to the public.

The late Queen gifted Frogmore Cottage to Harry and Meghan in the months after their wedding back in 2018.

The whole renovation cost the £ 2.4million and the property is thought to have five bedrooms, a kitchen, a sitting room and a nursery first designed for Archie.

The Sussexes only lived in the cottage for six months before sensationally quitting as working royals and moving to California. They repaid the cost of the renovations.

Harry and Meghan had been expected to let the Frogmore Cottage lease expire after they left the UK for America, but they reportedly committed to a new 12-month rolling deal last April.

Charles is understood to have told Harry and Meghan he wanted them out to “allow someone else to move in” - and it has been reported that this could be disgraced Prince Andrew.
