Meghan Markle was 'shocked' by Harry's less 'royal' life than William's


Meghan Markle was apparently bothered by Prince Harry's prominence in the Royal Family when they started dating in 2016.

The Duchess of Sussex, who had her first dates in London with Harry, felt that the Duke of Sussex was the least favoured among all the relatives.

Royal author Robert Jobson wrote: “When they went for drinks at William and Kate’s plush apartment, she was apparently “shocked” by the disparity between the siblings. Meghan understood that William was above her husband in the royal hierarchy as heir to the throne, but thought Harry was also a royal prince, so deserved more in material terms.”

Jobson added: “He was upset by the disparity.” Harry also reflected on how he felt “embarrassed” by his royal residence when he brought Meghan home as he felt she did not live up to the ideals of a royal prince.

This comes after Harry mentioned the moment he welcomed Meghan to his tiny abode called Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace before their wedding.

In his 2023 memoir, Spare wrote: “I was thrilled to welcome Meg into my home, but also embarrassed. Nott Cott was not a palace.”
