William's 'lack of effort' with Meghan caused rift with Harry - Yahoo Lifestyle

Following news of Prince Harry and Meghan’s move from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, the rumour mill is overdrive about their relationship with William and Kate.

Now there are further reports about tension between brothers William, 36, and Harry, 34, which apparently sparked an argument last year.

While Meghan and Kate are said to be getting along, despite being “very different people” it seems the royal brothers are struggling to do the same.

“Kate and Meghan are very different people and they don’t have a lot in common but they have made an effort to get along,” a source told Vanity Fair. “Any issues are between the brothers.”

“Harry felt William wasn’t rolling out the red carpet for Meghan and told him so,” they continued.

“They had a bit of a fall out which was only resolved when Charles stepped in and asked William to make an effort.

As a result, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge apparently invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to spend Christmas with them last year, which is when we saw them make their public debut as the ‘Fab Four’.

Whispers of drama among the royal faves began on Saturday, when claims emerged Meghan, 37, and her sister-in-law Kate, 36, weren’t getting along.

“Kate and Meghan are very different people. They don’t really get on” in a report by the Daily Mail.

Another insider said the Duchess of Cambridge was reportedly ‘left in tears’ after a dress fitting for Princess Charlotte at Meghan’s wedding rehearsal, according to The Telegraph.

The new report though claims that since settling down with Meghan, Harry is keen to branch out on his own.

“Two years ago the idea of Harry leaving Kensington Palace was unthinkable but a lot has changed,” the mag reported.

“He wants to be his own person not in William’s shadow.

“The countryside works for him and Meghan because they want to raise their son or daughter away from the limelight.”

Kensington Palace have not commented on the move or the rumours, but said in a statement that “Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate”.

However, royal biographer Duncan Larcombe thinks their move is simply a logistical matter. The couple’s existing home may well be too small for them, especially given pregnant Meghan is due to give birth in April.

“Harry and William are very close, so it won’t be a decision that will have been taken lightly,” he told Yahoo UK.

“What has happened is probably to do with the lack of availability of a larger apartment in Kensington Palace.

“The property in Windsor is the next best thing.”
