Meghan Markle ‘Taken Aback’ After Visiting Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Apartment, Felt Harry ‘Deserved More’

Meghan Markle was reportedly surprised and somewhat disappointed after visiting Prince William and Kate Middleton’s apartment at Kensington Palace. According to insiders, the Duchess of Sussex was taken aback by the modesty of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s living quarters, especially considering their high standing within the Royal Family. The experience led Meghan to feel that her husband, Prince Harry, who was sixth in line to the throne at the time, deserved better accommodations, particularly given his royal status.

This visit to William and Kate’s apartment is said to have highlighted the differences between the lives of the two couples, both in terms of their roles within the Royal Family and their personal expectations. Meghan, who was accustomed to a different lifestyle in Hollywood, found it hard to reconcile the simple, albeit elegant, living arrangements with the grandeur typically associated with royalty. Her reaction reportedly fueled her determination for a different kind of life with Harry, one that eventually led to their decision to step back from royal duties and pursue a new path in the United States.

The contrast between Meghan’s expectations and the reality of royal life is seen as one of the factors that contributed to the Sussexes’ growing dissatisfaction within the royal fold. This sense of wanting “more” for Harry may have further solidified their resolve to create a life independent of the constraints and traditions of the monarchy, ultimately leading to their highly publicized departure from the UK and the Royal Family’s inner circle.
