According to Quinn, Meghan saw this contrast as symbolic of how the royal family undervalued Harry. She allegedly believed palace staff already treated him as less important than his elder brother, and the housing disparity reinforced her sense that the couple was being sidelined.

“The Start of the Grievance”

A palace source told Quinn that Meghan made Harry more aware of his position as the “spare,” and that this awareness marked “the start of the whole grievance thing.”

At the same time, Meghan was accused of sending strongly worded emails to palace staff at 5am, allegations she has denied. Quinn writes that this alleged flurry of emails created a “toxic environment” and reached William in what he describes as a “dossier of distress.” The situation reportedly prompted William to confront Harry, further straining relations between the brothers.

Recent Developments

This account emerges as Meghan recently celebrated her 44th birthday amid reports of a “peace summit” between King Charles and Harry’s representatives at Clarence House last month. The Duke is said to have given his “blessing” for the meeting between aides, marking what some view as a notable step in easing the royal rift.
