King Charles must "feel like he scored an own goal" as he "didn't think about the consequences" when kicking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle out of Frogmore Cottage, a royal commentator has claimed.

The Duke and duch*ess of Sussex were ordered to evict the property in Windsor back in early 2023 after Harry released his bombshell memoir, Spare, in a move which essentially left them with no base in the UK.

Harry and Meghan as well as their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have not travelled back to the duke's home country as a family since 2022, when they attended the late Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Now royal author Tom Quinn touched down on the King's relationship with his grandchildren and said the monarch's move caused a "huge amount of resentment" from the Sussex camp.

A royal commentator has hit out at Meghan Markle for attempting to overshadow the Princess of Wales's return to public life and King Charles's Trooping the Colour celebrations by launching dog biscuits a raspberry jam in what was labelled a "very Meghan-esque" and "desperate" move.

Royal pundit Lizzie Cundy blasted the timing of Meghan's move, calling it "desperate" and "something else".

She told GBN America: "The whole world was watching to see Princess Kate and how incredibly stunning, fragrant and beautiful she looked. We hadn’t seen her for seven months. We’ve been so worried about her.

"The sad thing was that Meghan, four hours before Trooping the Colour, is launching dog biscuits which is really something else."

Prince Harry was warned that "time is running out" by a royal commentator who urged him to act while King Charles is still monarch if he ever wants to be welcomed back into the royal fold.

The Duke of Sussex has been estranged from the Royal Family ever since he and wife Meghan Markle quit their royal duties and moved to the US in 2020.

Harry's rift with the Firm, particularly with his brother, Prince William, has been deepening ever more since their sensational departure, particularly after the pair made a series of bombshell claims about the royals.

While it is understood that Harry wants to reconcile with his family and father, the two feuding brothers' relationship is still considered 'frosty' and they are not 'on speaking terms'.

Now a royal commentator has suggested that if Harry ever wants to come back to the Royal Family, he needs to do it before his brother becomes King, as William is likely never going to "let him" resume his duties in any capacity in the future.

A Royal expert has suggested that Princes Harry and William could be on the brink of mending their strained relationship, under the influence of King Charles.

Royal commentator and author Tom Quinn claims the Duke of Sussex is being urged by his father to secure a UK residence, enabling the monarch to spend more time with his grandchildren, Archie and Lillibet.

Mr Quinn also hinted at the possibility of a reunion between the feuding brothers in the UK. However, he doubts Meghan Markle would accompany her husband due to her past negative experiences with the Royal Family.
