I have read that Harry & Meghan have Royal Lodge in their sight for their next home, what are your thoughts on this?

Sorry, but I think that's absolute nonsense.

I know someone whose brother works at Windsor Castle and he has been saying for some time that there are plans to turn it into a conference centre

It's obvious the KC3 is being advised to be extremely cautious in his dealings with his younger son, hence the letter last week, so placing the Sussexes close to the Royal Court is unthinkable. As is renting them a property close to the Wales residence . . .

The man formerly known as Prince’s home? Not a chance, they already know they’re disliked enough - to live in a young woman abusers house? No way !

CurlewKate · 14/09/2026 10:32

Sounds absurd. Where have you “read” this?

Where did you "read" this Facebook comments?

It was a throw away line in a newspaper. Glad you all think it won’t happen.

Daily Heil? Trash media?

Don't believe all the shit you read.

Cotswolds apparently, i don't know where.

Laiste · 14/09/2026 16:24

Isn't Soho Farmhouse in the cotswolds?

She liked it there didn't she.

It's not far from me ...

They're in Northamptonshire, staying with a billionaire 'friend'

Will Spencer rent them a house on his Estate?! after refusing Diana

No, apparently he fell out with them during the summer. Allegedly Meghan was very rude during her visit to Althrop

He didn't refuse Diana. He successfully sued various newspapers for claiming that.

He refused the property she wanted, because it was unsuitable, but offered alternatives, which she refused.

Just amazed at all the mumsnetters with such incredible access to all the royal family. Hearing and seeing all the intimate details of their lives in person.

I am much more amazed by the information that Harry and Meghan are choosing to release into the public domain themselves. And that they are using their children to forward their complicated narrative.

I’m amazed at that too. However, unlike other mumsnetters, I have no idea what H&M have deliberately released and what, for example, the Daily Mail has made up to keep the pot boiling.

I think it’s best to get news from a direct source like their own PR.

Although DM has been noted as having some direct contacts to Harry via his WhatsApp group so perhaps they are more reliable than we think.

LipglossAndLies · 15/09/2026 14:11

Plenty of rumours and speculation all over those board, so this is no difference.

Here...I read they are angling for Buckingham .....(completely made up but if I wrote that you can guarantee there are some that will start talking about it and speculating on it or even get frothy over it) 😆

TheOvertGardener · 15/09/2026 20:00

Yes and there are some that refuse to discuss any valid points about the shocking behavior of these two, particularly with respect to their parenting. Two sides of the same coin.

I don’t think ad hominem attacks and loaded language add anything to the conversation.

LongTallFanny · 15/09/2026 20:34

I think that when they finally settle in a home it will be made apparent to all via social media.

Accompanied by a little video of spread and someone’s feet.

I would think that, with the amount of work needing done to it, Royal Lodge will be let out on a long term lease to a very wealthy family, similar to Fort Belvedere.

Unless Cumberland Lodge is super busy and they need another conference facility (it’s run by an education charity, but has conference facilities) I can’t see that being done to Royal Lodge.

It's more likely they will buy somewhere, they are multimillionaires. The royals and others have many properties where they can stay for now. They can look around at their leisure, probably want to see how well they settle down before committing to purchasing, there's no rush.

Why are people so interested? I mean, I am glad they are here and hope they stay, at least for some of the time, they have two other homes, but the details are their business. They are independent people now,
