Madonna Encourages Prince Harry And Meghan Markle To Stay In Her NYC Apartment
Even among celebrities, meeting and interacting with the royal family is uncommon. Madonna may be trying to change that, though. In a recent Instagram post, the singer suggested that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could sublet her apartment in New York City.
Following their decision to step back from many of their duties as members of the royal family, Meghan and Harry are planning to split their time between Canada and the United Kingdom. Madonna offered a third option.
“Don’t run off to Canada. It’s so boring there. I’ll let them sublet my apartment in Central Park West. It’s two bedrooms. It’s got the best view of Manhattan,” the singer says in her Instagram video.
Madonna continues the video by explaining that her apartment has an “incredible balcony” that she thinks is sure to be a “winner” for the new family, which also includes Harry and Meghan’s son, Archie.
Madonna continues to pitch the apartment to the couple in the video, suggesting that it’s even better than Buckingham Palace. Harry and Meghan never lived in Buckingham Palace. Instead, they live in Frogmore Cottage, a slightly humbler house on the Frogmore Estate.
Madonna seemed to think her pitch was pretty good, but there were many who disagreed with that assessment.
“Don’t dis Canada. I love your music but your personality is questionable and I sometimes wonder if it’s just for attention,” one user commented.
The disappointment surrounding her comments regarding Canada was widespread.
“Canada is a diverse beautiful country. Disappointed you think that way,” another user remarked.
“Nothing wrong with Canada, how rude for a person in your position to talk like that about another country,” a third person wrote.
Madonna may not love Canada, but Meghan and Harry are reportedly enjoying their quiet life in the country. According to a report from People, a source close to the couple said that life in Canada was a relief.
“A weight has been lifted,” the source said of Meghan and Harry’s fortunes.
Harry and Meghan’s new life may be comfortable, but it did come at a cost. The couple had to renounce their royal titles, which means they are no longer referred to as his and her royal highness. Harry, who was brought up in the military, was also stripped of his honorary military appointments. The couple have also made plans to begin making their own money, and have agreed to pay for the renovations they’d done to Frogmore Cottage — using taxpayer money to do so at the time. Still, given the couple’s apparent happiness with Canadian life, Madonna’s offer may not be too tempting.
