I was watching something the other day and the British newscaster speculation all started after it was announced that Harry and Meghan were moving. He said the move had nothing to do with the relationship with Kate and William.

They are moving because of the simple fact that the cottage they live in at Kensington Palace is too small for them when the baby arrives. It only has two bedrooms.

I think back to Di and Sara F. They were SIL, not besties but nothing to suggest there was any kind of rift to their relationship.. at least not that I can remember. Actually Sarah has said that Diana was not speaking to her at the time of her death. I remember hearing Sarah talk about it in an Oprah interview years ago. I googled and found several links to interviews where Sarah stated they were not speaking at the time of Diana’s death, but I’m on my iPad and can’t seem to link any of these stories. I’m sure it’s my error.

Eh. Most relationships have ups and downs.
I am just glad that my familial relationships are not noteworthy enough to have people around the world talking about them. Taking sides is bad enough at Thanksgiving, who needs rabid "fans" on social media? Ugh.

I think the media is making a feud out of nothing.
Two brothers raised to be be close, one marries and sets up his life, which includes brother. Second brother marries and now he wants to set up his life. Nothing unusual.
I think the media in England sort of expected the two Prince's to be in each other's pocket for the rest of their lives, but they are normal people who want their own lives.

I’m sure it’s my error. Yes I remember her saying that as well. But she also said sometimes she feels like calling Diana on the phone to talk about whatever is going on in her life then remembers that she's dead. So I think they were close at one point, but like any set of friends something can break them apart.

I saw the "feud" mentioned somewhere and don't believe it for a minute.

Although the brothers are close, no different to some other families they have spend most of their time apart over the last number of years. Prince William went off to Scotland to University, while Prince Harry joined the military. After University Prince William spent quite some time in Chile, Belize, and Africa before he joined the military and covered all three, the Army, Air Force and the Navy. Prince Harry did two tours of duty in Afghanistan not to mention that he also spent time attached to the Canada's military. So no, they haven't and have not been expected to have been, in each others pockets.

They were also seen at several outings like a 'double date' before they were married chatting it up. So like others have said it's just part of being in the public eye and Royals im sure.

I loosely follow because they pop up on my IG feed, and of course I click and watch/read.  I think its mostly media related. They may not be best friends and hang out but I can't imagine that they hate each other. The Cambridge's are on a different path due to being inline for the throne. The Sussex's can be a bit more laid back, although the are still in the spotlight. And as far as moving, heck I wouldn't want to live with my family.

And as far as moving, heck I wouldn't want to live with my family. But they don't though. Not getting at you but I've read this so many times from various reports on line from the foreign press mainly,that they live together. Although I did read a British newspaper referring to them sharing a home. They don't. Kensington Palace is a huge building and has many large apartments inside the private part of it (part of it is open to the public) Price William and the Duchess of Cambridge live in what used to be Princess' Margaret's apartment before she died. It was renovated before they moved in. It's huge and is on four levels with something like 20 rooms in it. Prince Harry lived in a total separate one bedroom apartment before he moved to the cottage in the grounds. Princess Eugenie now lives in another cottage in the grounds. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester lives in another apartment, so too does Prince & Princess Michael of Kent. So they don't all share a home or live with their families. They might be in the same building but the building is so big and spacious that no way could you say they shared a home or live with family. Look at the size of the building!!

I've only seen headlines in the gutter press. I haven't clicked on them on principle. Rags like those can make mountains out of pin-heads.

Sorry my mistake in wording. You are correct it's a large palace. All the reports say next door so my interpretation was that in the palace they would be in a similar wing (is that the right terminology) or main entrance. Actually after reading your post, maybe they want to get away from Princess Michael, isn't she the one that wore the scandalous brooch? At any rate, for whatever reason they want to move out on their own and I don't understand why there is an uproar.
