King Charles has evicted Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage as he is "acting decisively and quickly" to "put to bed" issues with the Sussexes and Andrew before his Coronation, it is claimed.
The Sussexes confirmed that they had been told to leave the property by this summer and were reportedly “stunned” by the decision.
It has also been claimed that Prince Andrew has been offered the keys to Frogmore but he is “resisting” the move as he is unsure whether he could afford the upkeep.
Charles has made the decision to remove the Sussexes with no thaw in their relationship with the Royal Family.
Harry’s memoir Spare, released in January, shared more intimate details of his personal and royal life which included him saying he found out about the Queen’s death from checking the BBC website.

And Charles wants to tackle the problems with the Sussexes and Andrew before his Coronation in May, said The Sun.
A source reportedly said: “Charles wanted to start after his Coronation with the issues of Harry and Meghan and Andrew put to bed.
“The situation has dragged on far too long and he wanted to act decisively and quickly.”
It is claimed that Charles has the backing of Camilla over evicting the Sussexes but Andrew and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are “appalled”.

The whole renovation cost the Sovereign Grant £2.4million and the property is thought to have five bedrooms, a kitchen, a sitting room and a nursery first designed for Archie.
Charles' decision to evict the Sussexes also throws into further doubt whether they will be given an invite to his coronation in May.
After reports of the eviction, a spokesperson for the Sussexes said: “We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage."

And writing for Yahoo , he explained: "It's news, sources tell me, that has left Harry and Meghan stunned, and at least two members of the Royal Family 'appalled'."
