The Royal Couple Take Action A Dramatic Few Months

Meghan & Harry's Shock Newlife

Despite recent high profile appearances – including last week’s very public display of friendship between Meghan and Kate – the couple have decided to leave palace life behind them. They will be moving out of Kensington Palace and into Frogmore Cottage, nestled within the Windsor Estate, earlier than planned, New Idea has learned.

At the end of January it was widely reported that renovations on the 10-bedroom, heritage- listed house had sped up amid rumours that tensions between the Sussexes and Cambridges had reached fever point.

Radar Online reported at the beginning of March that Meghan was reaching breaking point as she attempted to get the renovations completed, with an insider revealing that “she’s making demands left and right and friends worry because she is on the go all the time”.

To make matters worse, onlookers were quick to notice that Meghan wasn’t wearing her engagement ring during a visit to Canada House last week and also at the Commonwealth Day events at Westminster Abbey. That choice sparked speculation that there could be growing tensions between the couple.

However, royal experts have suggested that the reason she ditched her diamond dazzler could also be due to pregnancyrelated water retention, no doubt made worse by stress and the mum-to-be’s busy schedule.

What’s more, the young royals appear to be making a very concerted effort to put on a united front as they make their last appearances together before the new parents take steps to withdraw from public life.

It appears Kate was instrumental in deciding that it was time for everyone to put their past squabbles and dramas behind them.
