Meghan Markle was accused of making "demands" to secure a better place to live when she was in Britain, a royal commentator said. Kinsey Schofield claimed the Duchess of Sussex asked if she and Prince Harry could have suites at Windsor Castle. Ms Schofield suggested Meghan wanted to share the same space as Queen Elizabeth II.

The royal expert said the Duchess approached the palace after marrying Harry in 2018 to see if they could secure a "rather grand accommodation". Ms Schofield's comments, made in January last year, came after the Sussexes in their Netflix docu-series appeared to criticise the home they were given.

Ms Schofield claimed Meghan's query came from a "fixation" on what the then Duchess of Cambridge had and trying to have "something of similar value".
