King Charles has seemingly sent a message to his son Prince Harry “that he will never be allowed back to Frogmore Cottage”, according to a royal expert.

The King, 75, is said to be urging his disgraced brother, Prince Andrew, once again to leave the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor, after previously asking him to move into Frogmore Cottage. The Duke of York was surrounded by controversy after his links with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came to light.

Andrew was accused of having sex with Virginia Giuffre when she was 17. She claims she was trafficked by Epstein and passed between his friends for sex. Andrew has firmly denied the allegations.

And now, a year after the Duke of Sussex, the King’s son, was evicted from Frogmore Cottage, the monarch is sending him a stark message, according to royal author and expert Tom Quinn. The expert spoke exclusively to The Mirror, revealing: “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.”

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 comes as Prince Andrew continues to refuse to take up the new property of Frogmore Cottage after previous requests. A royal source 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 source added that Andrew is “taking longer than desirable” to “recognise the reality of the situation”.
