King Charles has “solved several problems at once” with his decisive move over Frogmore Cottage, a royal expert has said.
The 75-year-old monarch is believed to be encouraging his scandal-ridden brother, Prince Andrew, to vacate the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor and move into Frogmore Cottage.
This comes after Prince Andrew ‘s association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has categorically denied any allegations.
And royal author and expert Tom Quinn reckons this move by Charles also sends a clear message to his estranged son, Prince Harry, that he will not be welcomed back to Frogmore Cottage.
A year after the Duke of Sussex, who moved to California in the United States
with his wife Meghan Markl and son Prince Archie after quitting royal duties, was evicted from Frogmore Cottage, King Charles has delivered a stark message.
Mr Quinn told the Mirror : “For King Charles, forcing Andrew to move to Frogmore solves several problems at once – it sends a message to Harry that, as a private citizen and no longer a working royal he will never be allowed back to Frogmore.”
Mr Quinn added: “It sends [a] message to Andrew that having disgraced himself, he can no longer expect to live in the grand style. And, finally, it means that a suitably grand residence can be made ready for the royals who really matter William and Kate. Charles is determined that Royal Lodge is the only residence on the royal estate at Windsor that is big enough and regal enough for his heir.”
This development occurs as Prince Andrew persistently rejects the option of residing at Frogmore Cottage despite prior suggestions. A Royal insider told the Times : “The King’s kindness is not without limit and there is a very good option for Andrew to move into Frogmore Cottage, recently vacated by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which also has the benefit of being within the Windsor Castle security cordon hence reducing the need for alternative round-the-clock security for Royal Lodge.”
The same source disclosed that Andrew is “taking longer than desirable” to “recognise the reality of the situation”.
