“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 analysis comes shortly after a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed the couple had been asked to give up their UK home.
The spokesperson said: “We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage.”

Couple stunned as King Charles randomly drops into their child’s Cotswolds christening
A couple were left stunned when King Charles randomly dropped into their child’s Cotswolds christening. The King, 74, was in the congregation of a Cotswolds church when he discovered six-month-old Alice Elizabeth Windell was going to be baptised.
Reports have suggested the move was sanctioned by King Charles.
The decision to move the couple out of Frogmore Cottage – where they have not lived since moving to California in 2020 – followed the release of Harry’s controversial tell-all memoir Spare.
The Duke of York was reportedly offered the residence as it is smaller than his Royal Lodge home.

The residence, which is owned by the Crown Estate, was gifted to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Frogmore Cottage was refurbished at the cost of £2.4million in 2018/19.
The bill was initially covered by taxpayers through the Sovereign Grant before Harry repaid in full.
Despite the Sussexes’ move to California, daughter Lilibet celebrated her first birthday at Frogmore Cottage last year.

The couple could return to the UK in just a few weeks time as they have received an invitation to attend King Charles’s Coronation between May 6 and May 8.
However, it remains to be seen where Harry and Meghan would stay and what role they would have in the Firm’s celebrations.
