Prince William behind Harry and Meghan's Frogmore eviction, claims Lady Victoria Hervey

Prince Harry could be being booted from Frogmore Cottage due to his older brother, Prince William being "unhappy", according to Lady Victoria Hervey.

The friend of Prince Andrew has been outspoken on her views of The Royal Family in recent years and has never shied away from sharing her views on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Now, the aristocrat and model has claimed that The Prince of Wales, 40, is "unhappy" in his new home, Adelaide Cottage – less than a year after moving into the property on the Windsor Castle estate.

The Wales family left their London home of Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace in order to live a more relaxed life on the Windsor estate but Hervey, 46, believes he's not happy.

Speaking on Nana Akua's GB News programme, Lady Victoria addressed speculation that her friend, Prince Andrew was moving out of his home, Royal Lodge, and into Frogmore Cottage after Harry and Meghan were evicted by the King.

She said: "The first thing to say about Royal Lodge, is that it's only about 10 bedrooms and there is no swimming pool, every newspaper has said it's got 30 rooms – that's completely incorrect.

"I think it's sort of also quite obvious that this is Prince William wanting the house."

It's been claimed that Andrew is moving into the cottage after Royal Lodge has been left requiring extensive repairs including a leaking roof, despite the Duke of York having his allowance cut.

Lady Victoria went on to say: "This has nothing to do with budgets, this is William wanting the big house – he's not happy in the small one.

"For Prince Andrew, he's been in Royal Lodge for 20 years, it was his grandmother's house, it's very sentimental, and he's got the dogs so, why should he move?

"The Queen's dying wish was for him to stay in that house but King Charles just wants to boot him out."

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed they had been asked to "vacate" Frogmore Cottage, three years after announcing they were stepping down as senior working royals.

Since then, the pair have moved to California which is their primary residence, while Frogmore served as their UK base but has been used on less than five occasions since moving abroad.

It's believed King Charles informed Harry and Meghan they would be being evicted just days after his explosive memoir, Spare was released.

The Mirror has approached Prince William's representatives for comment.
