Meghan Markle's Discontent with Royal Housing Fuels Early Palace Rift

Meghan Markle's early struggles within the British Royal Family are said to have begun upon moving into Nottingham Cottage with Prince Harry, a modest residence that she perceived as a slight against her husband. Royal author Tom Quinn explained that Meghan interpreted the small size of their home and the perceived lesser treatment of Harry compared to his brother Prince William as signs of the family's belittling attitude. Meghan, accustomed to Hollywood's material standards, struggled to understand that royal family members generally do not place importance on houses or possessions, having always had them. Insiders note that Meghan quickly realized Harry was not as central within the royal hierarchy, which contributed to growing dissatisfaction and grievances about their roles. These early tensions at Kensington Palace are viewed as a key factor leading to Meghan and Harry's decision to step back from royal duties, a process known as 'Megxit.' Recent reports suggest some easing of tensions between the Sussexes and the royal family following a recent 'peace summit.'
