The decision appears to be in retaliation for the release earlier this year of the memoir In the Shadows, which sees the British monarch’s youngest son settle scores with his family.
The Sun newspaper also reported that the King had asked Prince Andrew to move to Frogmore Cottage with the idea of reducing expenses for his younger brother, who currently resides in a luxurious Windsor estate.
Buckingham Palace, contacted by AFP, declined to comment on this information.
