Prince Harry's request to the late Queen 'turned down flat with just two words'

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are finding it challenging to manage their £12 million mansion, according a property expert.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex purchased their nine-bedroom dream home in California after stepping back from Royal duties in 2020.The expansive mansion has everything one could desire, including a library, office, spa, gym, game room, wine cellar - and 16 baths! Situated on 5.4 acres of land, the Sussexes' estate - where they live with six year old Prince Archie and three year old Princess Lilibet - is surrounded by beautiful gardens, as well as a tennis court, tea house, children's cottage, pool, and five-car garage. However, an expert suggests that maintaining such a luxurious lifestyle comes with a hefty price tag and will cost the couple hundreds of thousands of pounds every year for upkeep.

Ever since Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, relocated to the US in 2020, their relationships with senior members of the Royal Family have been publicly strained. As a result, the couple and their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have spent very little time in the UK with the Windsor side of the family, particularly with their grandfather, King Charles. This, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond says, is something which is causing Archie and Lilibet to suffer as she expresses her hope that Harry will not continue to follow Meghan's example when it comes to family quarrels.

King Charles is said to be missing his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, but may plan a visit in the future, according to a royal expert. The King has only had a few encounters with his youngest son, Prince Harry's children.
