The Ridiculous Reason Palace Staffers Are Reportedly ’Grumpy’ With Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Today in petty royals news, Buckingham Palace officials are reportedly "grumpy" with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry over⁠—wait for it⁠—empty office rooms.

Here's what's going on, according to The Sun: As part of the separation of the royal households, Markle and Prince Harry are moving their business headquarters from Kensington Palace to Buckingham Palace—and the new digs are swanky. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will reportedly now occupy "six large rooms off the lavish master corridor" in BP, which, for some reason, has annoyed staffers.

"The Palace traditionalists are grumpy that such a prime space is being given over to Harry and Meghan, who have perfectly adequate offices already at Kensington Palace," a royal insider tells The Sun. This may be true, but a component of the aforementioned household split for Markle and Prince Harry is a move to Buckingham Palace, so I'm not exactly sure what the fuss is all about.

"There are a lot of people trying to cause trouble for the Duke and Duchess as a result of this move," the insider continued. Geez.

But Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shouldn't have anything to worry about. "The facts are they were offered these rooms by the master of the household because they are currently unoccupied and used as meeting rooms," the insider added. So in other words, no one has any real right to be upset with them.

And here's the kicker: They aren't even doing anything to the rooms, just "taking out the current furniture and installing new desks," per the insider. Also, the permanent space in Buckingham Palace is still available to royal staffers. So it seems like Markle and Prince Harry are doing everything in their power to make this transition as seamless as possible. Remind me where the problem is again? Sigh!
