Royal tensions seem to be brewing again. Prince Harry’s decision to step back from his senior royal duties has led to a new issue: Frogmore Cottage. This exclusive residence near Windsor Castle was previously gifted to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex by Queen Elizabeth II when they got married.

In a conversation with The Mirror, Tom Quinn offered insights into Prince Harry‘s emotional response to the situation. King Charles asking the 39-year-old and his wife to leave Frogmore Cottage really upset him. The commentator further elaborated His Royal Highness’ perspective:

“Harry was absolutely furious and in tears about being evicted from Frogmore – he felt his father had no right to do it and that it was purely vindictive. Harry took it as a cruel rejection – a painful reminder of all that he felt when his father fought with his mother during their long drawn out, painful divorce. “

Before concluding, the expert added, “For many Harry is just a poor little rich kid behaving like a spoiled br*t, but Harry sees himself as the eternal victim.”

As per the Royal Collection Trust website, “Frogmore House is no longer occupied by the Royal Family, but is often used for entertaining.” A month ago, The Mirror reported that Prince Harry is ready to step in and help the royal family after both King Charles and Kate Middleton were diagnosed with cancer.
