Definitely, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have accumulated frustrations in the royal family! Disappointed with their treatment compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton, and having to comply with the strict rules of the monarchy, the couple should also have forced themselves to live in a place they had not chosen. Indeed, after their marriage, both would have liked to be housed in an apartment in Windsor or in Kensington Palace… what the queen would have refused.
Indeed, according to the next book by expert Katie Nicholls who should soon reveal the secrets of the crown, the sovereign would have preferred to entrust them with Frogmore Cottage, not far from the castle… but which was under construction at the time. A way for her to keep them away from London but to bring them closer to her? Surely : the entrance to the house is located just a few meters from the entrance used by the queen to get to the castle.
“For her, it was a big gift. ‘I hope they will respect it’ she had said, moreover“, says a source today. But it was simply the beginning of the problems: indeed, a few months later, the couple had announced to move their offices from Kensington to Buckingham Palace, formalizing the break with Prince William and his wife. A few months later, they then left for the United States for good.
The Frogmore Cottage is still theirs
However, no question for them to let go of the cottage : When the couple go to the UK, they put their suitcases there, despite the fact that Princess Eugenie now lives there from time to time with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their son August, 1 year old . During the Jubilee, they had even left their children there in safe custody to attend Friday mass, before celebrating their daughter Lilibet’s first birthday there.
And again in this month of September: while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had planned to spend only a few days there, they were eventually forced to stay there until the queen’s funeral Elizabeth II, on September 19. A deadline which allowed them to renew some fragile contacts with Prince William and Kate Middleton. Indeed, they now live just a few meters from their home in the new cottage to which they moved in September.
What to imagine soon Lilibet and Archie playing in their garden with their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis (9, 7 and 4 years old)? The prospect is still far away… but we hope so for them!
