The Duke of Sussex expressed his concerns that losing access to Frogmore Cottage would make it difficult for the King to spend time with his grandchildren - Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, according to The Mirror. Scobie claimed that a few days after learning the news, Harry phoned his father and asked, "Don't you want to see your grandchildren?" In response, the King allegedly offered a "half-hearted declaration that they would always have 'somewhere' to stay.
" Although the ultimate decision rested with King Charles, it's believed one of his closest confidants played a significant role in advising him to evict Harry and Meghan. Scobie asserted Princess Anne was instrumental in influencing the King's decision. The King appeared to have reservations about kicking them out, but it's been suggested the Princess Royal had a hand in convincing Charles to send them packing.
Scobie claimed Anne was "at the forefront of the supporters of the firm approach" adopted by the Palace.

Tom Quinn, another royal author, noted that Harry was "absolutely furious and in tears" over what he perceived as a "vindictive" act by King Charles.
In 2024, King Charles III made a decision that sparked widespread criticism and raised questions about his relationship with his son, Prince Harry, and his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle. For the first time, King Charles did not invite Harry, Meghan, or their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to spend the royal Christmas holiday with the royal family in England. Critics were quick to point out that King Charles made no mention of Harry, Meghan, or their children in his annual Christmas speech.
The King's message focused on themes of family unity, but failed to address his own family's absence, which only deepened the controversy.

However, many were quick to note that there was no direct reference to Prince Harry, Meghan, or their children, despite their prominence in the media.
The closest Charles came to acknowledging them was a vague reference to protecting the planet "for the sake of our children's children," but this was not a personal message to his own grandchildren. This omission raised questions about the ongoing tensions between the Royal Family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Many royal watchers felt that this snub was a direct reflection of the strained relationship between the family and the couple, especially after Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to California.
