Prince William forced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle out of Kensington Palace, according to reports. Long before Megxit in January 2020 saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pack their bags and leave Britain for California, they made a smaller but significant move.Royal insiders explained Harry and Meghan were leaving Kensington Palace for Frogmore Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle as a result of mounting sibling tension.In November 2018 a royal statement said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate early next year as they prepare for the arrival of their first child."The couple have lived at Nottingham Cottage since their engagement last year."Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate."The Duke and Duchess’s office will continue to be based at Kensington Palace."According to one royal source, the Sussexes were keen to "strike out on their own" which they have certainly done since.Royal source claimed: "The initial plan was for Harry and Meghan to move out of their cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace and into one of the main apartments."But there has been a bit of tension between the brothers."Now Harry and Meghan don’t want to live next to William and Kate and want to strike out on their own."They need more room and hope Frogmore Cottage will be ready in time for when they have the baby."Frogmore House has ten bedrooms and a nursery for their baby which is expected in the spring of 2019.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have “stepped back” from their roles as frontline royals, but they still get to stay in the “Royal Suite”.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had been staying at the five-star Hilton Hotel in the centre of the Hague for the duration of the Invictus Games.And not just in any room, but in the hotel’s exclusive £2,000 a night Royal Suite.The hotel's 1,506sqft VIP suite offers a king size bed and two state-of-the art “rain forest” showers.The suite’s stone-coloured bathrooms are fitted with water-saving Ecosmart technology, in keeping with Harry and Meghan’s green agenda.In addition to the two bathrooms there’s also an extra loo attached to the suite’s integral meeting room so visitors don’t use up the VIP couple’s loo roll.The five star hotel, built on the site of the Dutch city’s main post office, is almost fully booked at the moment, due at least in part to the Sussexes substantial entourage and security detail for the Invictus Games.The Royal suite is geared towards business as well as luxury, with high speed internet access, multiple phone jacks, and an extra rollaway bed for a secretary or PA.There are telephones everywhere – even one next to the bath.The suite, located on the top floor of the hotel, offers commanding views of The Hague from its private terrace and little extra touches include fluffy bathrobes and slippers, a Nespresso machine and an iPhone docking station.Despite their substantial entourage, the Duke and Duchess were keeping a low profile.

Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie have done a lot of interviews during their time on. Still, it doesn’t mean that the veteran journalists don't get a little starstruck every now and then. For Guthrie, one of her biggest moments was when she got to fangirl over rock band Duran Duran.
