Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are establishing a new life in the Cotswolds, where they are close to several members of the extended royal family. According to Closer, a source claims Meghan is focused on strengthening those connections as the Sussexes settle into their new surroundings. The source characterized the move as part of Meghan’s effort to build a social circle independent of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Meghan Markle is reportedly building a powerful Cotswolds network after feeling shut out by the Waleses, as per Closer. The tension traces back to King Charles’s letter confirming Harry and Meghan remain non-working royals. According to the source, William and Kate were among the biggest driving forces behind that statement. The Waleses reportedly still feel blindsided by how the Sussexes announced their return. Also, William wanted the boundaries reestablished before anything else unfolded.
The source claimed Meghan is frustrated by what it described as attempts to limit the Sussexes’ role in the royal family. The insider added, “She won’t let them stand in her way.” Harry and Meghan settled in the Cotswolds after Charles Spencer reportedly offered them a lodge on the Althorp estate, Princess Diana’s childhood home. Harry was said to be genuinely moved by his uncle’s gesture. However, Meghan reportedly knew that particular arrangement wouldn’t work for them.
According to the source, Meghan wants to strengthen relationships with members of the extended royal family as she and Harry establish their life in Britain. The insider characterized those connections as part of Meghan’s effort to build a social circle separate from William and Kate.
The Sussexes are also reported to have spent time with members of the extended royal family in the area. Princess Beatrice and her family have reportedly visited Harry and Meghan, while the Sussexes are said to have visited Zara and Mike Tindall at Gatcombe Park. Zara has reportedly played a grounding role for William himself in the past, making her family’s willingness to welcome the Sussexes notable. Meghan is reportedly positioning herself for serious social influence in the area more broadly, competition and all.
