Meghan Markle, 37, and Prince Harry, 34, moved last month to Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle ahead of the arrival of their first child. Their move to Frogmore Cottage sparked speculation of an alleged rift between Kate and Meghan. Kensington Palace also announced that both the Cambridges and Sussexes were to officially split their royal households, meaning Meghan and Harry now base their new Household Office at Buckingham Palace while William and Kate will remain at Kensington Palace.

What we will have seen is Meghan being scapegoated as the one who is pulling the brothers apart

Speaking to Gayle King in the CBS News Special of ‘Meghan and Harry Plus One’, the Deputy editor of the Sunday Times, Sarah Baxter, said the UK currently “isn’t quite big enough” for the two royal households.

She added: “We have definitely been told that the Palace does not want a repeat of the Diana celebrity situation.”

But some royal insiders revealed the real conflict is instead between both William and Harry.

Speculation had been running rife that the two brothers locked horns because William believed his brother had married the former Suits actress too hastily.

Royal aides have acknowledged the brothers have had a “strained” relationship over the course of the last year, but those close to them now believe things to “back on track”.

A royal source told the Daily Mail in April: “Finalising plans on their future paths and roles did make things easier.

“There was no formal process or meetings required.

“It was never that bad. They worked things out between themselves.”

Ms Baxter insisted Meghan is getting the “Yoko Ono treatment”, adding: “You know, when The Beatles broke up, everyone was like ‘oh yeah that’s Yoko’.”

Also speaking to CBS, historian and royal author Anna Whitelock said: “Inevitably, what we will have seen is Meghan being scapegoated as the one who is pulling the brothers apart, disrupting this happy trio that was Kate, William and Harry.”

Shortly after moving to Frogmore Cottage, Meghan and Harry revealed they had given birth to a baby boy Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor at 5:26am on Monday, May 6, weighing in at 7lbs 3oz.

Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, met baby Archie at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor on Tuesday afternoon, over a week after the royal baby was born.

Kate and William are understood to have travelled to Windsor after carrying out engagements.

Since meeting the newborn, Kate and Meghan are reportedly closer than ever, having bonded through their experience as mums.

A palace insider told Us Weekly: “Meghan and Kate will be spending a lot more time together.

“Now that they’re bonding over motherhood, they’ve become closer than ever.”

On the day he was born, The Duchess of Cambridge said: “It’s such a special time and with [my children] Louis and Charlotte just having had their birthdays, it’s such a great time of the year to have a baby.”

“And yes, spring’s in the air and everything so it’s pretty great.”

While Meghan spent her first few days of motherhood tucked away in Frogmore Cottage, new dad Prince Harry, 34, was back out and about on royal duty.

Just three days after Archie was born, Prince Harry jetted off to the Netherlands to launch the Invictus Games’ countdown.
