In the book, and through an interview and serialisation in Paris Match magazine, Scobie claims that it was Princess Anne who spearheaded Harry and Meghan’s eviction from Frogmore Cottage.
The Princess Royal is referred to as being “at the forefront of the supporters of the firm approach” when it came to dealing with the Sussexes after they stepped back from life as working royals.
She “is said to have persuaded Charles to withdraw the use of Frogmore Cottage” from the couple.
After receiving word that the King wanted them out of the cottage – reportedly through a letter sent by the Keeper of the Privy Purse – Harry is said to have asked his father, “You don’t want to see your grandchildren anymore?”
While Harry’s aunt preferred a firmer approach, it’s suggested Prince Edward felt “uneasy” for his nephew and voiced concerns over his mental health.
King Charles ‘Ignored’ Harry’s Pleas For A Reunion
Another new accusation suggests that Prince Harry had indeed wanted to meet with his estranged father during his return to London to attend a High Court hearing in March. However, the King ignored his request for a meeting.
Instead, he ordered an assistant to tell him he was “busy.”
“He wanted to limit their discussion to a harmless exchange,” the book reads. “As far as Harry was concerned, the message that circulated in the family was not to confide in him… everyone took it very seriously.”
Similarly, when Harry contacted his father, the King “appeared cautious” in his approach, sources close to him suggest.
