Prince Harry is set to lose another Royal role as the deadline for him and Meghan to leave their former residence of Frogmore Cottage has passed.
The historic Grade II listed home was the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes' UK home since their wedding in 2018, the Mirror reports.
However, they were evicted from the Windsor property earlier this year by the King and their final remaining possessions were shipped out to their home in Montecito, California this week.
However a royal expert has now revealed that as Harry does no longer have a home in the UK, he cannot continue to act as Counsellor of State.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun : "Losing their UK home without a replacement is a huge deal.
"The most important aspect as far as Harry is concerned is that it means he can no longer act as a Counsellor of State.
"That’s hugely important because in theory he had the right, in the event of the King being incapacitated, to do this.”
Counsellors of State carry out official duties of the Sovereign such as signing documents.
The current Counsellors of State are The Queen Consort, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Sussex, The Duke of York and Princess Beatrice.
Last year Charles asked his other siblings Princess Anne and Princess Edward if they would like to be added to the list.
The proposed change was read out in front of the House of Lords, which stated that adding Anne and Edward would "ensure continued efficiency of public business when I'm unavailable, such as while I'm undertaking official duties overseas."
Harry and Meghan have officially been left 'homeless' in the UK and will need to make a 'deal' with the King if they wish to return to Britain and want to stay at any royal residences in the future.
The last time Harry stayed at Frogmore was when he jetted back to London for a three-day visit as part of a court case.
The Sussexes' will now have to rely on family and friends or hotel stays during any future trips they may make to Britain.
Yesterday, Courtier Sir Michael Stevens confirmed that the couple had officially vacated the property in a statement. He said: "We can confirm that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have vacated Frogmore Cottage."
He added that the property has undergone extensive renovation in recent years with him further commenting earlier this week: "Thus leaving the Crown with a greatly enhanced asset."
According to reports, it isn't the only royal residence within the Firm that is now vacant as Charles is trying to buckle down on royal expenditure and empty royal properties that are not being used.
