Meghan Markle, Prince Harry ‘shut doors’ to UK after paying back taxpayers

With their debt towards Frogmore Cottage now repaid in full, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially ‘shut doors’ towards the UK and hope to “prove that it can stay shut”.

During an interview on the radio show The HeirPod podcast, Omid Scobie believes the couple has cemented their lives within the U.S and are eager to make it on their own, despite the Queen always “leaving the door open” for them.

The royal author was quoted saying, “I think it just shows how keen they are, to truly be independent.” Scobie also went on to say that while the couple has paid the £2.4 million in full, they did not ‘necessarily’ owe the monarchy anything.

Yet, at the same time the idea of ‘looming’ debt would only serve to get them scrutinized even more so by critics.
