Harry has 'nothing to lose' after Frogmore eviction as he prepares for trauma tell-all

Prince Harry has "nothing to lose" after he and Meghan Markle were asked to vacate Frogmore Cottage by King Charles, royal experts have said.

The Duke of Sussex is preparing for a tell-all chat to discuss "living with loss and the importance of personal healing" with "toxic trauma" speaker Dr Gabor Maté at 5pm GMT tonight.

Dr Maté, 79, is an expert on trauma, addiction, stress and childhood development, his website says.

The virtual conference, costing £17 per person, will reportedly be followed closely by Buckingham Palace after Harry's accusations in his bombshell memoir Spare.

Royal biographer Phil Dampier said Harry may feel like he has "nothing to lose" and there are fears that relations between him and his family may be getting worse.

Mr Dampier told Mail Online: "The King and Prince William would have hoped that Harry calmed down and stopped giving interviews after the publicity interviews he did for Spare but it seems not.

"In fact he may feel he has nothing to lose after bring booted out of Frogmore Cottage. So sadly, with just nine weeks to the coronation, relations between him and his family seem to be getting worse, not better."

The royal author added that the show will be "part publicity for his book and part therapy" for Harry.

The biographer said the Palace will be following the conference closely, as he explained: "The Palace will fear he lobs in more of his truth bombs just when they thought things were dying down."

He also claimed that the content of the online chat may result in Harry and Meghan not being invited to the King's coronation in may.

In January, just days after Spare was published, Prince Harry said he had enough material to write a second book.

The Duke of Sussex said he avoided mentioning some anecdotes about his father and brother, as he feared they would never forgive him if he revealed them.

Harry said the original transcript for his book was twice the length of the final draft and many details about interactions between him, Charles and William were edited out as there were things he didn't want the world to know.

He explained the first draft of Spare was 800 pages, but the book was now 400 pages long.

Harry told The Telegraph: "It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out."

The Duke added: "There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don't want the world to know. Because I don't think they would ever forgive me."

Harry and Meghan are said to be "stunned" after the Frogmore eviction and confirmed they had been "asked to vacate" it.

King Charles started the eviction process from five-bedroom Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate on January 11, the day after Harry's controversial memoir Spare was published.

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

It was converted into one home, having previously been five separate properties for staff working on the Windsor Estate.

The whole renovation cost £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.
