Meghan Markle was accused of making demands to live in huge apartments at Windsor Castle so she could “share space with the Queen.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace after Prince Harry popped the question in 2017, and Meghan relocated to the UK permanently ahead of their wedding. The quaint cottage was what Harry dubbed his “starter home”, but the two-bedroom property – which had a tiny garden – wasn’t substantial enough for the couple.

Meghan and Kate’s relationship was frosty
Meghan was reportedly told why she wouldn’t be allowed to live in Windsor Castle, and was warned the couple’s privacy would be intruded upon as there are numerous public tours of the castle during the year. However, Kinsey claimed Meghan’s “fixation” on securing suites within the huge castle came from her rivalry with Kate Middleton, who lived in a lavish apartment with Prince William and their children in Kensington Palace, and she wanted “something of similar value”.

William and Kate were given apartment 1A by the Queen as a wedding present in 2011, and the massive living quarters was spread over four floors and features over 20 rooms, including three kitchens and nine rooms for members of staff, including nannies for their three children. The apartment
