A lot has happened since Harry and Meghan ditched their senior royal duties and made an exit from the royal castle and the family residing in it. The two of them did a tell-all Oprah interview which has garnered 17.81 million views on CBS alone, released their Netflix documentary which was again a tell-all, and also purchased a nearly 15 million dollar home in the sunny city of California.

Let’s not forget the constant social media attacks that they had to face in between. However, life wasn’t always sunny beaches and a 15 million dollar house for the couple. It was freezing London winter and ten-bedroom Nottingham Cottage before.

The question in itself sounds like a layered punch to the Royal family for treating Prince Harry and Meghan Markle like a ‘spare’. But it isn’t. The former Duke and Duchess of Sussex found themselves in a homeless situation when, after exiting the Royal family in 2020, they were informed, on short notice, of their security being taken away.
