It may seem like the royals live a fairy-tale, and for most part that remains true, but the rumor mill is churning out new information which claims that Harry and Meghan want to relocate into a new place. However, the interesting bit is that the pair don’t want to settle near Prince William and Catherine, and all of us are wondering what has happened that drove them to make such a decision.
The changes are expected to take place in the next few months, preferably before Meghan goes into labor sometime in Spring of 2019. While their current living arrangement in the Nottingham Cottage, with two bedrooms and a bathroom, is more than enough for the average British family to raise a child, the royals don’t agree.

A Larger Living Space
The premise behind this shift of living space is that the royal pair will need to have a larger space once the little one comes into the picture, and that makes sense. But the desire to not live near Prince William and Catherine, who also reside in one of the accommodations of Kensington Palace, is raised some eyebrows.
A natural move would’ve been for Harry and Meghan to move into Kensington Palace, and now that they are choosing otherwise, it would be interesting to observe how the dynamics of the royal family relationships are impacted by it.
The Desire To Live A Separate Life
According to sources, it has also been reported that the royal pair are carving out their own path which is distinctive from that being followed by Prince William and Catherine. Even though we can’t get enough of the pictures which show the four of them laughing and posing together at official royal events, it seems that the frequency with which such pictures surface on the internet is bound to decline eventually.
Kensington Palace has remained the residence of Prince Harry and Prince William since childhood, but now that they are assuming new roles and responsibilities, it seems rational why they would want to live separately. Although we are not entirely sure what kind of arrangement will be made for Prince Harry and Meghan, but it is entirely possible that an entirely separate court is created for the pair to live their life according to their own terms, without any conflicts with the Prince William and Kate’s household.
It has not been confirmed, apart from the need to have a bigger space, what else has prompted this sudden desire to not live next door to William and Kate, but rumors are flying out of the royal household and we have caught onto the most plausible ones.
Not Very Happy
Apparently, at least according to the biographer who covered the life of Prince Charles, Robert Jobson, the royal household was not very accepting of Prince Harry’s choice to wed Meghan Markle. He even quoted Prince Harry yelling at his family and asserting that Meghan will have her way, which somewhat infers that Meghan has been following the royal code and conduct of her own choosing and may very well choose not to follow them in the future.
That’s not all. According to reports, Markle’s assistance has also resigned only six months into the job, prompting rumors that the job had become too difficult to handle especially with all the restrictions of the royal household.
An alleged dispute between the Queen and Meghan over the choice of her tiara, which she wore on her wedding day, prompted the queen to warn her grandson Prince Harry that the incoming member of the royal family exhibited a rather difficult attitude.
However, till now Meghan seems to have done wonderfully well, attending royal events and adhering to the dress code which has made her look quite stately in form and her demeanor. It’s entirely possible that whatever doubts the Queen held in her mind about Meghan have been adequately addressed, however we wonder how the Queen will respond to this request of having a functionally separate accommodation than Prince William and Kate.
