Prince Harry and Meghan Move Into a 10-Bedroom Mansion Gifted by Princess Anne — William Reportedly Furious Over “Power Play”
“Wonderful, this is our new home!” Prince Harry was overheard saying with joy as he, Meghan Markle, and their daughter Lilibet stepped into their new residence — a sprawling 10-bedroom countryside mansion in England. The stunning property, described by insiders as “quietly regal yet breathtakingly modern,” was not purchased, but rather gifted to the Sussexes by none other than Princess Anne.
The move, however, has set off a storm inside the royal household.
Princess Anne, long considered the monarchy’s hardest-working and most grounded royal, is said to have developed a quiet bond with Harry in recent months. According to palace whispers, Anne felt Harry deserved a proper base in the UK where his children could one day feel connected to their British heritage. “It was Anne’s way of extending an olive branch,” one insider explained. “She wanted to give Harry stability and a sense of belonging.”
But the decision — made without consulting senior royals — has reportedly blindsided Prince William. Sources close to Kensington Palace reveal that William views the gift as a “direct challenge” to the royal order, interpreting it as Anne taking Harry and Meghan’s side in the ongoing family rift.
“William was shocked when he heard the news,” one palace aide claimed. “He respects Anne deeply, but he feels this undermines the Crown’s efforts to create boundaries with Harry. For William, this isn’t just a house — it’s a power move.”
The mansion itself, located on a vast estate tucked away in the English countryside, boasts 10 bedrooms, multiple drawing rooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and sweeping gardens. Locals describe it as “the kind of home fit for royalty, yet private enough for a family seeking peace.” Neighbors, however, were stunned to see moving vans and security details descending on the property.
Meghan, for her part, is said to be “delighted” by Anne’s generosity. “She was deeply touched,” a source close to the Duchess revealed. “She sees it as a sign that not all bridges are burned, that there is still space for reconciliation.”
