The fact that he did not stay in the UK for the private lunch reportedly left Charles “genuinely disappointed,” the source told Daily Mail. However, other Royal Family members “breathed a sigh of relief” that Harry had left.
Irrespective of what has happened up until this day, what is set in stone is that King Charles decided to evict his son and daughter-in-law just one day after Spare was released (coincidentally just months prior to his coronation).

According to royal expert and author Omad Scobie, Charles was “spitting mad” with Harry’s book, which undoubtedly played a role in his son’s eviction.
Harry and Meghan were “stunned” by King Charles’ eviction decision
Sources close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the time claimed the couple was “stunned” by the decision.
“Harry and Meghan have until early summer to vacate,” a source told Scobie, reporting for Yahoo. “Initially, they were given just weeks, but now they have at least until after the coronation.
“It all feels very final and like a cruel punishment,” a friend of Harry and Meghan’s added. “It’s like [the family] wants to cut them out of the picture for good.”

Now, new details about what really happened come to light. Royal author Omid Scobie, also said to have been friends with Harry and Meghan, wrote in his latest book, Endgame, that King Charles wanted to punish the Sussexes. He also called it a “cheap shot..”

The author’s sources confirmed a “significant” part of evicting Harry and Meghan was “undoubtedly” a punishment for them releasing their Netflix series just weeks earlier.
“Do you want to see your grandchildren?”
Omid Scobie claims Frogmore was Harry and Meghan’s” ‘only safe place to stay when visiting the UK, as armed guards surround its grounds.”
Harry was shocked about King Charles’s decision to evict them, and days later, Scobie writes, he spoke to his father about what he had done.
“Do you want to see your grandchildren?” Harry was said to have told King Charles over the phone.
Charles then made a “half-hearted declaration that they would always have ‘somewhere to stay.’”
However, the author said it “didn’t give Harry much hope.”
The final blow, Scobie added, was when the disgraced Prince Andrew was offered Frogmore Cottage instead.
“For Charles, the issue of Frogmore Cottage wasn’t just about punishing his son, though sources say that ‘undoubtedly’ played a significant role,” Scobie wrote in Endgame.
“It was also part of the effort to streamline the portfolio of properties being used by members of the family.”

Omid Scobie added: “Staying mum about Harry’s accusations and remaining publicly unconcerned for his son’s wellbeing while ending his family’s lease on a safe UK residence was not a decisive action by a resolute King.”
Harry and Meghan thought Frogmore Cottage was “so small”
When the Netflix series was released, Harry and Meghan had already bought their house in Montecito, California. While they, at the time, had Frogmore Cottage as their UK base, they expressed their true feelings about their former royal house.
Harry and Meghan described Frogmore Cottage as “so small.”
“The whole thing is on a slight lean, [with] really low ceilings. So I don’t know who was there before, but they must have been very short,” Harry said, with Meghan laughing, revealing Harry would “hit his head constantly because he is so tall.”
