Meghan Markle's neighbours furious as Duchess 'demands special treatment'

EXCLUSIVE: A royal commentator told Daily Expresso host JJ Anisiobi that Meghan Markle had allegedly sought "special treatment" during a recent outing.


Meghan Markle's return to the UK has reportedly caused a stir in the Cotswolds, with royal commentator Daisy McAndrew claiming locals have been left unhappy by alleged requests for "special treatment". The Duchess of Sussex has recently been spotted in the Cotswolds, including an appearance at a local pub with friends TV show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife and Arrested Development star Portia de Rossi. She was also reportedly spotted at Soho Farmhouse earlier this month.
Speaking to host JJ Anisiobi on the Daily Expresso podcast, royal commentator for NBC News, Daisy McAndrew, was asked whether Meghan had become a "recluse" since returning to the UK.


Daisy McAndrew said: "Well she's been in a pub in the Cotswolds this week... she's been to Soho Farmhouse where my local sources tell me she was asking for special treatment and that hasn't gone down well on my local WhatsApp group."

She added: "There's been muttering in the Cotswolds. There's been tooth sucking."

When asked what she meant by "special treatment", the royal commentator claimed the Duchess had asked for special access to private areas and driveways, among other things.
Meghan Markle, Ellen DeGeneres, and Portia de Rossi were spotted at the 18th century pub, Three Horseshoes near Burford, Oxfordshire, on Monday. This marked the Duchess' first public outing in the UK since her return with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.


The couple were Meghan and Harry's former neighbours in Montecito and according to Page Six, Meghan was seen “chatting and laughing” with them as they enjoyed a pub lunch. Pictures showed the Duchess dressed in white trousers and a light blue shirt with her sleeves rolled up.

Last month, the family made a surprise return to the UK, with plans to live in Britain for an "extended" period and their children are now being schooled in Britain. They arrived back in the UK on August 26, landing at Birmingham Airport after six years living in California.

Meghan has since shared several glimpses of her family's new life in the UK on Instagram from splashing in puddles during muddy countryside walks to evenings by the fire and a clip showing her children riding their bikes in the countryside.
