Truthfully, how many of you are that close to your inlaws?

Let the households separate, if it makes things easy for them. I think the brothers have lived close to one another for long enough, don't you? Maybe a break is what they need.
While I agree jazzi I still cannot make sense of them needing so many rooms. I bet the place they are living now isn't exactly in the pocket of his brother. Seems several Royal households are all in the same complex and none of them have a problem.

Re: How much room does a family need ?

Frogmore Cottage is the Queen's property and she has gifted it to Harry and Meghan.
They want to turn it into a 5 bedroom home.
The costs of building work will be covered by the Sovereign Grant. Harry and Meghan are paying for all the decor etc.
The Sovereign Grant is paid annually by the treasury at a value indexed as a percentage of the government's revenues from the Crown Estate and other revenues in the financial year two years earlier.

The Crown Estate is land owned by the British Monarch, so the tax payer is actually paying nothing towards this.

“Frogmore, which is inside the Windsor security zone, is secluded, peaceful, tranquil and, most importantly, private.

Re: How much room does a family need ?

There will always be ‘the haves and the have nots’, it’s a fact of life.
If you are born into a wealthy family, it’s how it is and you know no different but some people with less can’t bear anyone to have more than them.

I don’t care if they have a big house or a little house. All l know is, l would hate their life with the constant criticism and knowing that there are many in the world that would like to kill them all.

Why should they have preferential treatment? They are no better than anyone else. They eat, sleep and sh!t. The only thing they don't do is work.
Dispand the royal family. That would save us a fortune.
