Queen's Will Unveiled Meghan Weeps as Charles Reveals She Received Nothing, Prompting Discussion of Royal Residences. In a surprising turn of events, the contents of the late Queen's will were revealed, leaving Meghan Markle in tears as Charles disclosed that she had received nothing from the Queen's estate. The Queen, renowned for her regal wisdom, firmly declined Meghan Markle's living requirements, deeming them inappropriate.
The Queen, with her unwavering determination, firmly rejected Meghan Markle's bold request to reside in a specific residence within the enchanting Kingdom of Windsor. Her Majesty considered such a wish completely unsuitable and unnecessary. The majestic Windsor Castle, with its nearly millennium-long history of royal significance, has long been a cherished paradise for generations of illustrious royals throughout the ages. The Queen has graciously bestowed various mansions upon her relatives as tokens of her affection, including the noble Kings of Windsor Castle, the honorable Prince Philip, the esteemed Prince and Princess of Wales, and even Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
Among these treasured residences is the idyllic Frogmore Cottage, a picturesque home gifted to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after their joyous marriage in 2018. However, it appears that the couple, with their illustrious status, have their hearts set on another sanctuary. Whispers from insiders suggest that Harry and Meghan expressed a strong desire to reside within the castle's walls, longing for the privileges of calling it their own.
In their pursuit of a royal residence, they inquired about the possibility of securing accommodation within the hallowed halls of the castle. However, the Queen, with her customary charm, politely but firmly suggested that nearby Frogmore Cottage would be a more suitable residence for the couple.
To shed further light on her decision, the Queen has decided to bestow Frogmore Cottage upon her beloved nephew and his charming royal consort. In her book, "The Royal Connoisseur," author Katie Nickoll provides invaluable insights. Nickoll recounts a conversation with the late Lady Elizabeth Anen, who passed away in 2020. During their discussion, Lady Elizabeth revealed that the Queen considered her residence in Windsor of great significance and held it with much hope.
Lady Elizabeth expressed her hopes that Harry and Meghan would show their appreciation for the Queen's generosity. She explained that the house held great importance, as it served as the entrance to the Queen's Garden, situated right next to their residence. It was essentially the Queen's own backyard, her sanctuary and retreat. By gifting Frogmore Cottage to Harry and Meghan, the Queen relinquished that personal space. Lady Elizabeth emphasized the significance of this gesture and expressed her hope that the couple would respect it.
Before settling in Frogmore, many other mansions within Windsor were considered as potential homes for the couple. One such residence is Adelaide Cottage, currently occupied by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louie. Adelaide Cottage, nestled within the sprawling 655-acre Royal Estate, offers privacy and served as a retreat for Queen Adelaide, wife of William IV. Its illustrious history includes being the favored residence of Queen Victoria and undergoing renovations in 2015.
Adelaide Cottage boasts intricate decorative details, including a master bedroom ceiling adorned with gilded dolphins and rope designs. It has welcomed numerous distinguished guests and royals, including Simon Rhods, son of the late Queen Margaret Rhod's cousin, who received the Queen's support in relocating his family to the kingdom.
