Rift Between Royal Couples Explodes

What's tearing apart the once tight-knit royal sisters-in-law?

Rumours of a royal rift have reached an all-time high after it was confirmed last week that Prince Harry and Meghan have snubbed Prince William and Kate, and will be relocating from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor – a telling sign that all is not well between the ‘Fab Four’.

And now New Idea has learnt the sudden departure of a palace maid, the fourth member of staff to quit, has caused ructions, as talk of a tell-all book – in particular detailing Meghan’s reported diva demands – has upset the palace. “Senior royals are very worried a disgruntled palace maid who recently left her job will do a tell-all on just how hard Meghan is to work for,” a source reveals. “There are rumours this ex-staffer has been offered millions to reveal her secrets in a book or TV exposé and they’re trying to stop that from happening. It would be very damaging – this maid knows a lot of secrets, she knows all about the tension between Meghan and Kate and how Meghan has driven a wedge between Harry and William.”

This new development backs up claims of a rift between Harry and Wills – and their wives. “They are very different women despite their similar circumstances. Meghan is an extrovert whereas Kate is quite shy,” a source told the UK’s Daily Telegraph.
