Real reason revealed why Meghan Markle, Prince Harry rejected Charles Spencer house offer

A royal expert has revealed the real reason why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry rejected Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer offer to stay at his Althorp House.

In his latest piece for Naughty But Nice substack, royal expert Rob Shuter has claimed that Prince Harry was in favour of living there, however, rejected it because of Meghan Markle.

He writes, Harry’s uncle offered Meghan and the Duke the possibility of using The Falconry, the historic 17th-century lodge on the Spencer family’s Althorp Estate in Northamptonshire.

However, the royal couple politely rejected the offer.

“Harry was genuinely moved because Althorp will always be sacred ground to him,” the source claimed.

“But Meghan took one look at the reality and knew it wouldn’t work. Too remote, too far from London and, frankly, not nearly grand enough.”

The Grade I-listed Falconry, built in 1612–13, was originally constructed for falconry before being converted into a residence.

But insiders say Meghan and Harry have bigger ambitions.

The close confidant said, “Meghan isn’t moving back to Britain to hide away in an old lodge in Northamptonshire. She wants privacy, history and security — but she also expects serious luxury, substantial space and easy access to London. This wasn’t even close.”

“Harry’s heart loved the idea; Meghan’s head killed it,” adds the source. “He saw family and memories. She saw isolation and compromise.”
