In reply to the discussion: This has to be a joke??? Britain's Prince Harry loses home on royal estate: reports [View all]Baltimike
(4,441 posts)They called it a gift for expediency...we are a FOREIGN nation to Britain, and NO, Harry did NOT pay off the balance when Netflix happened. There was an additional fee tacked to their RENT (aside: they were paying RENT the ENTIRE time because THEY, the FOREIGN half of the couple at least) KNEW it wasn't a GIFT...
and that proves my point. It was called a GIFT in the same way the refurbishment money was said to be "paid off". It wasn't.
Also, it wasn't a gift. Not in the same way Americans consider gifts.
This is the first I have heard of anything being a tear down, but that is a moot point. They did NOT pay off the refurbishment money...even though they said they did...JUST like they called the place a gift when it in fact, was not.
Frogmore House is owned by the PEOPLE...the crown estate. The queen could not and cannot GIFT them something she did not own. THEY knew this even though we did not. THEY know this now, and still called it a gift.
The last time Harry and Meghan were in London, they stayed at the Goring Hotel, not Frogmore House.
