A royal insider has claimed that the Duchess of Sussex’s dislike for her Kensington Palace accommodation put Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the path to exit the Royal Family. Writing in his royal bestseller Yes Ma’am, Tom Quinn said that while the couple were living at Nottingham Cottage, their royal troubles became apparent, the Daily Mail reported.
Quinn wrote: ‘Starting life as a member of the Royal Family in Nottingham Cottage was the beginning of all Meghan’s troubles – she felt it was so small that it must be a reflection on how the Royal Family were belittling her husband. She just didn’t understand that real royals don’t care much about houses and material possessions because having always had them they take them for granted.”

Queen Victoria’s ‘great, great granddaughter’ seeks DNA test and one thing from Charles
An American woman has claimed that she may be Queen Victoria’s illegitimate “great, great granddaughter” through one of her most beloved servants, John Brown.
Angela Webb-Milinkovich, a mental health care worker from Minnesota, said that her ultimate goal now is to gain recognition for her and her sister’s lineage from King Charles.
New research by historian Dr Fern Riddell claims that, while Angela’s great-grandmother, Mary Anne, may have officially been the only child of John’s brother Hugh and his wife Jessie, evidence suggests that she could have been the lovechild of the royal aide and the late monarch.

The couple spent their first day in the capital, Bogota, meeting Vice President Francia Márquez and her husband, Rafael Yerney Pinillo.
But as they were departing their first engagement hand in hand, a lip-reading expert claimed there was a snappy exchange between the two.

Meghan Markle urged to do 1 thing as expert makes ominous prediction
EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle was criticised for lacking “depth and a unique” angle in order to attract more viewers to her Netflix series, just days after the latest rankings showed it flopped.
With Love, Meghan was released back in March but the latest figures showed that it could not keep its original viewers.
During the first week of its release, the Duchess of Sussex’s series climbed into Netflix’s Global Top 10 Shows list with 2.6million views.
But nearly five months later, it took a nose-dive to the 383rd spot globally with 5.3million views.
Now a PR expert explained why Meghan’s show failed to keep momentum and cautioned the Duchess to focus on one key thing ahead of the second season’s launch this autumn.

Prince Harry rubbishes new book’s claims
Prince Harry has denied shocking claims in a new book that “punches were thrown” between him and Prince Andrew before the Duke of Sussex left the Royal Family. Author Andrew Lownie claimed in Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York claimed tensions between the Duke and his youngest nephew reached a boiling point after Harry became aware of “something Andrew said behind [his] back”, the book suggests, with the exchange leaving his uncle “with a bloody nose”.
However, Prince Harry’s team has denied the claims. In a statement, a member of the Duke’s staff said: “I can confirm neither of those things are true. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry.”
