PRINCE Harry and Meghan’s reported eviction from Frogmore House in Windsor is a sign that King Charles is asserting his authority, according to a leading Royal commentator.
Michael Cole told GB News: “What do they say about revenge being a dish best eaten cold? What we’re seeing is the swinging fist of majesty.
“Having waited 70 years to inherit the throne, King Charles is certainly asserting himself here.”
In an interview with Bev Turner on GB News he continued: “It’s worth just having a little think about what has happened.
“Frogmore Cottage was a rather ramshackle collection of houses for accommodating Royal servants and then when there was a replacement needed for Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace where Meghan and Harry had been living.
“It underwent a huge renovation costing £2.4 millions of taxpayers’ money and they moved in.
“It must be said absolutely at the beginning that Harry repaid all that money when all the oodles of cash started to flow in from people like Netflix and Penguin Random House, so he did pay for the renovations.”
He added: “The Sussexes hardly had time to undo their boxes before, of course, they moved out; they did a runner first of all to Canada, and then down to California, which may have been Meghan’s always intended destination.
Mr Cole said Prince Andrew is likely to be angered by the move: “Now Royal Lodge is an absolutely wonderful, white wedding cake of a huge lodge, set in 98 acres of Windsor Great Park where the Queen Mother lived and indeed where she died .
“That’s been occupied by Prince Andrew and in a bizarre arrangement, which I don’t think you’ll find on any street, his ex-wife after 26 years after the divorce, Fergie, also lives with him there.
“Now I think what is happening behind the scenes here is that the King is saying, look ‘you’re not doing any work do you really need this huge house? I think more modest accommodation would be in order, why don’t you move a mile down the road and take over Frogmore Cottage’.
“That will go down extremely badly with Prince Andrew.”
