It’s been revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be moving their team into offices at Buckingham Palace, and as a result have annoyed some of the traditionalist staff.

According to The Sun, the new parents will be moving their team into six large rooms in a lavish master wing of the palace.

“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 told The Sun.

It is reported that the rooms they will be taking are currently unused and can be booked by anyone at the palace, usually used for meetings.

“There are a lot of people trying to cause trouble for the Duke and Duchess as a result of this move,” the source said.

“But 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 move comes after the Duke and Duchess copped backlash for the refurbishment of their new home at Frogmore Cottage.

The pair allegedly spent $4.4 million of taxpayer money on the refurbs that included floating floor board, sustainable ‘green room’ and a complete rewiring of the house’s electricity.
