With a baby on the way, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are keen to move up the property ladder from the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace.
Royal insiders had widely expected the Queen's cousin, the Duke of Gloucester, 74, and his Danish-born wife, Birgitte, 72, to move out
of their lavish 21-room Apartment 1 to make way for Prince Harry and Meghan, reports The Daily Mail.
But I hear there is a spanner in the works: Birgitte wants to stay put in the apartment, which is right next door to Prince William and Kate's huge home.
"Birgitte doesn't want to leave," one of her friends tells me. "And why should she? She and her husband are still full-time working members of The Firm and they were given their apartment by Her Majesty."
A Kensington Palace spokesman insists it's "not true" that Harry and, in particular, Meghan covet the Gloucesters' spacious home.
