Prince Charles is at the centre of a row for axeing his personal florist just weeks after her husband died in an apparent suicide.

Sarah Champier-Lowe has been made redundant from her post at Highgrove following what Royal sources have described as a ‘staffing review’.

Friends say she has been left shocked by the decision, which comes ahead of next month’s inquest into husband David Lowe’s death.

Shocked: Sarah Champier-Lowe last week
Royal aides say colourful Mrs Champier-Lowe, 50, who rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and once told a magazine that her ideal evening would be spent with Prince Charles at Highgrove, was removed as part of a cost-cutting drive.

However, one senior source expressed surprise at the reason given for the decision.

He claimed that one of the justifications for giving Mrs Champier-Lowe the job at the time of her appointment was to save money because Charles was spending extravagant sums on flower-arranging. The Prince created the full-time £30,000-a-year job especially for her nine years ago.

Prince Charles, left, made his florist redundant just weeks after her husband, David Lowe, right, was found dead in a river estuary

Speaking from her Grade II-listed £350,000 townhouse in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, Mrs Champier-Lowe said: ‘It’s true that I’ve left Highgrove. They’ve obviously reviewed the system and made their decision.

‘I have absolutely no idea what I will do next. Have a gap year probably. Certainly some think time.’

She refused to discuss redundancy terms.

Her mother-in-law, Betty Lowe, added: ‘Sarah is not very pleased. I can’t say anything further.’

Three-times-married Mrs Champier-Lowe has now put the 18th Century house, which she shared jointly with her husband and his mother, up for sale.

Mr Lowe, 52, disappeared on April 29 after leaving the offices in Chippenham, Wiltshire, where he worked as a BT telecoms training officer. Three days later his black Vauxhall Astra estate car was found at Severn View Services on the M48, within walking distance of the old Severn Bridge.

During the four weeks he was missing, his son and daughter launched several appeals for information. But his body was found on May 25 by a boat crew off
Burnham-on-Sea, which is 20 miles down the Severn estuary.

The couple had been together since 2001 after meeting through their local Harley-Davidson motorcycle club.

Mrs Champier-Lowe was given permission to hold part of their 2004 wedding at Birkhall, the Royal estate in the Scottish Highlands.

A source said: ‘Sarah will be absolutely shocked and shattered by this news.

‘She is going through a hard time as it is. To now lose the job she loved, which gave her huge status locally, must really hurt.’

As well as arranging flowers for official functions and parties, Mrs Champier-Lowe was appointed ‘visual merchandiser’ at Prince Charles’s Highgrove shop, launched in Tetbury two years ago.

When interviewed by a US newspaper at the Queen’s Golden Jubilee classical music concert at Buckingham Palace in 2002, Mrs Champier-Lowe said: ‘This is what the Queen wanted. Something very relaxed and with as many people included as possible. She could have done this anywhere, but to invite everyone into her back garden is a very generous statement.’

In an interview with a magazine, when she was asked who she would most like to drink a glass of cider with, she replied: ‘Definitely the Boss [Prince Charles], whilst listening to Leonard Cohen, looking out across the garden! His Royal Highness is interesting and funny; and he takes an interest in each and every one of us who works for him.’

The decision to axe Mrs Champier-Lowe comes just weeks after career courtier Andrew Farquharson, 44, the Deputy Master of the Household, was suddenly made redundant in mid August.

Mr Farquharson and Mrs Champier-Lowe are the only two members of Prince Charles’s 130-strong staff to have been axed.

A spokesman for Clarence House said: ‘We can confirm that Sarah Champier-Lowe is leaving the Household. Her redundancy and that of Andrew Farquharson are the result of a review of staffing within the Master’s department.

‘There is no general round of redundancies.

‘We can only say that her departure is not linked to any external matters at all. The timing is unfortunate but purely coincidental.’

It was so hot in the shop....and I could not find Ivy and Daisy anywhere....untill I looked in the flower cooler! A couple of cool kids were doing their home work, and playing their dl....when I had them get out of the cooler....that's when I discovered they also had the dog in there with them!
