Royal biographer Christopher Andersen says the King's move was to 'economise' and to 'punish'
King Charles "punished" Prince Harry and Prince Andrew by evicting them from their royal residencies, an American author has claimed. Christopher Andersen, who wrote the book The King: The Life of Charles III, said the decision was to "economise" but also to discipline the pair.
According to reports, Prince Andrew has been offered Frogmore Cottage. However, he is said to be resisting the move as he prefers the 30-room Windsor mansion that he has lived in since 2004. He told Fox News: "Booting the Sussexes out of Frogmore Cottage was not merely an act of revenge for what Harry wrote in 'Spare' about Camilla, and it was not merely a cost-cutting move. In one fell swoop, the King managed to look as if he was economising while at the same time punishing both Harry and Andrew — a royal trifecta."
The author, who co-wrote the biography of Harry and Meghan, Finding Freedom, said the decision was made following the release of Harry's controversial memoir Spare. He added that the couple was informed that the property was needed for "someone else" and that relations between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the Firm were at "an all-time low".
