Meghan Markle felt ‘shunted off’ in ‘depressing’ royal home after marriage

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were asked to stay in Nottingham Cottage but it apparently left the Duchess of Sussex feeling ‘shunted off’ because she was not in Kensington Palace

Meghan Markle felt “shunted off” when she was asked to stay in Nottingham Cottage and not Kensington Palace, it is claimed.

Author Tom Quinn said he believes the Duchess of Sussex would have initially been “drawn in” by the fantasy of the royal family. But once she and Prince Harry settled into married life she became disappointed living “in a little cottage”, he claimed. Two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage was the couple’s first marital home, located on the grounds of Kensington Palace.

Dubbed ‘Nott Cott’, it served as a base for the pair until their move to Frogmore Cottage – and later to California. Mr Quinn told the Mirror’s ‘Pod Save The Queen’ podcast that he thinks Meghan’s would have been unhappy with their first home. “I think that actually, she wasn’t too keen on that,” he said. “It seemed like they were being shunted off to a little prefab in the grounds.”

Harry had lived in Nottingham Cottage – described as “snug” – since 2013, with Meghan joining him just before their engagement. But, contrary to Mr Quinn’s claims, authors Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie say Meghan was happy in the property. Writing in ‘Finding Freedom’, and as reported by the Daily Express, they said: “After months of long-distance, Meghan was thrilled to finally be sharing a postcode, W8 4PY, with her partner.
