King Charles's decision to evict Meghan Markle and Prince Harry from Frogmore Cottage has caused a rift within the Royal Family

Sarah Ferguson has refused to criticise Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as the Royal Family's latest civil war erupts.

The Duchess of York's daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are said to be "appalled" by the treatment of the Sussexes.


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry allowed Princess Eugenie to live at Frogmore Cottage following their move to California.

Sarah Ferguson said: "I don't believe that any single person has the right to judge another person.

"I'm not in a position myself to make any judgments."

She continued during her interview with PEOPLE: "I have been judged all my life, and I have no judgment on the Sussexes."

She added: "I think that Diana would be incredibly proud of her grandchildren. And not just the Sussex grandchildren, but Will's children."

It comes as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's UK base has been offered to Prince Andrew by the King.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were given use of the five-bedroom Frogmore Cottage by the Queen as a wedding present in 2018.

But Meghan and Harry have barely lived in the royal residence over the last three years.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes confirmed the couple have been asked to leave their UK base, saying: "We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage."

Prince Andrew is understood to be reluctant to leave his larger Royal Lodge mansion for Frogmore Cottage.

A royal insider told The Sun: "This eviction surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK.

"Andrew is resisting the idea of moving into Frogmore Cottage after he was offered it last week.

"But it shows Harry and Meghan are powerless to stop the eviction."

King Charles's treatment of the Sussexes and Prince Andrew is said to have divided the Royal Family.

Senior working members of the monarchy such as Camilla, Prince William and the Princess of Wales are supportive of the King's decision.

However, non-working royals such as the Sussexes, Andrew and his daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are "appalled" by the Frogmore Cottage feud.
