Meghan Markle Reportedly Drops a Bombshell Demand in Bold Move to Outshine Princess Kate and Steal the Royal Spotlight—And She Wants It All… See more below 👇👇👇
Meghan Markle believed Prince Harry’s ‘starter home’, Nottingham Cottage, wasn’t substantial enough for the couple.
The Duchess of Sussex reportedly had grander ideas than to live in Prince Harry’s “starter home” at Nottingham Cottage, which is where Meghan Markle had relocated prior to her marriage to Harry.
A royal commentator has claimed Meghan Markle’s fixation to live in Windsor Castle came from her rivalry of Princess Kate who lived with Prince William and their children in Kensington Palace.
Kinsey Schofield previously told GB News: “She wanted to share the same space with the Queen [Elizabeth II], and she was denied that space for multiple reasons.”
Meghan added: “Kensington Palace sounds very regal, of course it does. It says ‘palace’ in the name! But Nottingham Cottage was so small.”
The Mirror reports Meghan was told living in Windsor Castle would not be private, and was warned the couple’s privacy would be intruded upon as there are numerous public tours of the castle during the year.
William and Kate’s central London home, Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace used to belong to Princess Margaret. The living quarters is spread over four floors and features over 20 rooms, including three kitchens and nine rooms for members of staff. It was refurbished at a cost of £4.5m to the taxpayer with a new roof and electrics, and the removal of asbestos.
Royal expert and author Christopher Warwick said: “All of these royal residences at Kensington Palace are called apartments, which of course makes people immediately think they are flats like the American term for an apartment. They are not.”
He explained: “If you kind of think of them as being these wonderful red brick terrace houses. Because they are all joined but separate houses.”
