Royal Intrigues Unveiled: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Unexpected Abode

In a recent revelation from a new royal publication, it has come to light that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had initially set their sights on residing within the lavish walls of Windsor Castle.

However, contrary to their aspirations, they were bestowed with Frogmore Cottage as their new abode.

Following their nuptials, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had harbored hopes of occupying a grand suite of apartments at Windsor Castle, only to find themselves entrusted with Frogmore Cottage, as disclosed in a startling new book.

Upon expressing their desire to depart from Kensington Palace, the Queen extended the offer of Frogmore Cottage to Harry and Meghan as their newfound residence, as detailed by royal analyst Katie Nicholl in the forthcoming explosive read, “The New Royals.”

It was revealed that the couple had their hearts set on a specific set of apartments at Windsor Castle, which unfortunately did not materialize.

Despite her passing in 2020, Lady Elizabeth Anson, a close confidante of the late Queen, remembered the gesture as a benevolent act, emphasizing the significance of the cottage being in close proximity to the Queen's garden entrance.

Lady Anson noted that by bestowing Frogmore Cottage upon Harry and Meghan, the Queen was, in essence, relinquishing a part of her privacy.

She expressed her hope that the couple would honor and respect this gesture.

Meanwhile, in a show of support for the Invictus Games Foundation, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees at London Stadium.

According to Nicholl, this decision held particular weight as it symbolized the conclusion of Harry and William's joint endeavors, evoking a sense of melancholy for the Queen.

Further insights from Nicholl's account shed light on the late Queen's astonishment at Meghan's choice of a white wedding gown, a departure from traditional norms.

Despite initial reservations about the stark white hue of Meghan's Givenchy gown, the Queen's concerns were overshadowed by the success of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding day.

Notably, the Queen was taken aback by Meghan's sartorial choice, advocating for a more subdued off-white attire for individuals who had been previously married, akin to the Duchess of Cornwall's selection.

In an attempt to bridge the gap and extend a welcoming hand to the newest addition to the royal family, the Queen made concerted efforts to forge a connection with the Duchess.

Meghan's direct approach and assertiveness caught the Queen's attention, with reports of a heated exchange during a menu tasting session at Windsor Castle surfacing.

Allegedly, Meghan engaged in a spirited debate with a staff member over the presence of egg in the dishes sampled, prompting a stern reminder from the Queen about decorum within the royal household.

Shifting focus to the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate embarked on a significant visit to Wales, aiming to foster trust and rapport with the Welsh populace.

This marked their first official trip to Wales since Prince Charles designated William as the Prince of Wales.

Reflecting on their initial years as a married couple, Kate and William revisited Anglesey, their first residence post-marriage, where their enduring journey commenced.

During their visit to the RNLI Holyhead lifeboat station, the royal couple engaged with volunteers, crew members, and beneficiaries, reminiscing about their prior interactions with the local community.

The poignant visit to Holyhead, home to one of the oldest lifeboat stations along the Welsh coast, evoked memories of their inaugural engagement at the RNLI station in Treardar Bay in February 2011.

Having resided in Anglesey since 2010, Kate and William shared fond recollections of their time spent in the region, underscoring their deep-rooted connection to the community.

As they look ahead to future engagements and interactions with the Welsh populace, the Prince and Princess of Wales remain committed to nurturing these relationships and upholding the legacy of trust and respect established by their predecessors.

Amidst their visit, Kate exuded elegance in a chic black ensemble, complemented by a crimson coat with striking golden accents, while Prince William opted for a classic white shirt paired with a blue suit and tie.

As the period of mourning within the royal family drew to a close, signaling a return to regular schedules for working members of the firm, the couple's visit to Swansea later in the day underscored their dedication to engaging with various facets of Welsh society.

Their visit to St Thomas Church, a vital community resource offering support to those in need, exemplified their commitment to serving the local populace and fostering goodwill.

In a significant announcement following Prince William's appointment as the next Prince of Wales, King Charles unveiled the couple's engagement, highlighting their shared mission to deepen ties with the Welsh people.

With plans to revisit Wales before Christmas, the Prince and Princess of Wales are poised to continue building upon the foundations laid during their recent visit.

Notably, their previous visit to Wales in June, accompanied by Prince George and Princess Charlotte, showcased their enduring commitment to strengthening bonds with the Welsh community, exemplifying a legacy of service and dedication to the realm.
