King Charles III to offer Prince Andreas Frogmore Cottage was not a good place to live Prince Harry And Meghan Markle.
According to royal expert Omid ScobieIn his forthcoming book, Endgame, Charles, 75, offered the royal residence to Andrew, 63, after evicting Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, via an ‘eviction notice’ nailed to the door of the cottage. The author claimed the move was a “the final blow” for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Charles’ decision to offer Frogmore to Andrew may not have been intended as a move against Harry, according to Scobie, but “undoubtedly” it was. Andrew, meanwhile, has repeatedly rejected the property, Scobie said. The writer noted that Charles has a “blind spot” when it comes to his younger brother.
Andrew has lived in the family’s Royal Lodge for the past twenty years, paying rent and contributing financially to the estate’s renovation projects. In 2019, Andrew resigned from his position as a working member of the royal family after being accused of sexual misconduct, which he vehemently denied. In May 2020, he permanently resigned from his public positions and was later stripped of all his military titles and patronages.
As the scandal continued to make headlines, the book claims that Charles “openly despised” his brother’s actions, while also spending many nights “worrying” about him. After losing his position in the family, Andrew no longer earned an income and could no longer afford to maintain the lodge.
Harry and Meghan, who lived at Frogmore with son Archie, who was four at the time, announced their plans to step back as senior working royals in early 2020. The couple later moved to California, where they welcomed daughter Lilibet, two years old.
Embracing a new life in the United States, Harry and Meghan were expected to use the royal residence when they returned to Britain in March. We weekly confirmed that Harry and Meghan were asked to leave the home just weeks after Harry’s memoir Reserve was released.
After Harry heard about the deportation, he reportedly called Charles to discuss the decision and asked his father if he wanted to see his grandchildren. According to the book, Charles did not answer the question, but assured his son that he and his family would always have “somewhere” to stay when they came to visit.
Three months after they were asked to leave, Us confirmed in June that Harry and Meghan were officially leaving the cottage.
