Uncle Ol’ Spencer has turned down Meghan Markle’s plea to provide a base for her and Prince Harry in Althorp.

The couple, who have been struggling to find a place to stay when in the United Kingdom, were hopeful that Earl Charles Spencer would offer them the family’s ancestral home as a UK base.

However, it seems that their hopes have been dashed.

Since leaving their roles as working royals and moving to the United States, Meghan and Harry have faced difficulties in finding accommodation whenever they visit the UK.

They were previously living at Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle, but were evicted by King Charles at the encouragement of the Princess Royal.

Rumors have circulated that Prince Harry has been staying in hotels during his trips to London or bunking with his cousin.

Meghan’s PR team, though, claimed that all hope was not lost.

They said that Earl Charles Spencer had extended a helping hand and offered Althorp as a base for the Sussexes.

The source explained that Charles wanted to see his nephews first and foremost, but also wanted to discuss the Spencer estate and how things have been going for them.

He empathized with Harry’s lack of a home base in his birth country and assured them that there was plenty of room at the manor.

However, Earl Spencer quickly denied Meghan’s statement.

He has not maintained a good relationship with his daughter, so it is unlikely that he would care about Harry.

The insider revealed that Charles Spencer did not even let his own sister, Princess Diana, stay in a cottage or house on one of his properties after her divorce.

Therefore, there is no chance that he would invite Harry to stay at Althorp.

The idea of returning to the protective wing of the Spencer family is appealing to Harry and even Meghan, who has fond memories of visiting Diana’s grave at Althorp.

However, it seems that this option is no longer on the table.

The couple is running out of options in the US and may have no choice but to return to the UK.

This news comes after Earl Spencer recently shared a photo on Instagram of the Christmas tree at Althorp house.

The tree, adorned with red shiny ornaments and twinkly lights, dominates the saloon, the heart of the house, until twelfth night.

Followers of the 9th Earl Spencer couldn’t help but gush over the beautiful tree in the comments section.

In conclusion, Meghan and Harry’s search for a UK base has hit a roadblock as Earl Charles Spencer has denied offering them Althorp.

Despite their hopes of finding a home in the UK, it seems that the couple will have to explore other options.

The future remains uncertain for the Sussexes as they continue to navigate their new lives outside the royal family.
