Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, were all smiles as they greeted hundreds of onlookers during a Christmas stroll to a church service on Queen Elizabeth’s Estate._  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Updated: Dec 13, 2023 12:52 AM UTCPublished: Mar 14, 2019 6:48 PM UTC  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Updated: Dec 13, 2023 12:52 AM UTCPublished: Mar 14, 2019 6:48 PM UTC Following an October [report](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/princes-harry-and-william-to-call-it-a-day-for-their-double-act-3pq5h0xgc) that [Prince William and Prince Harry](http://time.com/5255840/prince-william-prince-harry-moments/) were considering setting up separate courts, Queen Elizabeth II has [reportedly](https://twitter.com/scobie/status/1106259748528230400) agreed to the creation of a new royal household for Harry, Duke of Sussex, and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. In a move that has [reportedly](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/duke-of-cambridge-and-duke-of-sussex-to-spilt-royal-household-j00r3b9mv) been in the works since before [Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding](http://time.com/longform/a-royal-album-harry-and-meghans-wedding/), it looks like William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Harry and Meghan will begin operating under two different offices — rather than the one they have shared since 2009 — this spring, [_People_](https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-prince-harry-split-households-kate-middleton-prince-william/)reports. It’s unclear whether the separation will take place before or after the birth of [Harry and Meghan’s first royal baby](http://time.com/5502228/meghan-markle-baby-due-date/). “This long-planned move will ensure that permanent support arrangements for The Duke and Duchess’s work are in place as they start their family and move to their official residence at Frogmore Cottage,” People reported, quoting a palace statement. According to the [_Sunday Times_](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/duke-of-cambridge-and-duke-of-sussex-to-spilt-royal-household-j00r3b9mv), the brothers are setting up separate courts in order to reflect their “increasingly different responsibilities.” But the news comes amid [reports of “tension”](https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-kate-middleton-complex-relationship/) between the two couples. In December, Kensington Palace [issued](https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7870884/furious-kate-middleton-meghan-markle/) a rare statement denying a report of an alleged clash between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton before Markle’s royal wedding took place in May. “This never happened,” a royal spokesperson told _The Sun_. The palace previously confirmed that [Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are relocating](http://time.com/5463029/meghan-markle-prince-harry-frogmore-cottage/) from [Nottingham Cottage](https://people.com/royals/inside-prince-harry-meghan-cottage-kensington-palace/) at Kensington, where Prince William and Kate Middleton live, to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate. ## Transcript [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ LAUGH ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5532604/prince-william-prince-harry-split/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5532604/prince-william-prince-harry-split/"},"headline":"Prince William and Prince Harry Are Going to Split Their Royal Household","datePublished":"2019-03-14T18:48:59.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T00:52:31.000Z","description":"The brothers are setting up separate courts","url":"https://time.com/5532604/prince-william-prince-harry-split/","keywords":["Newsfeed","kate middleton","royals","onetime","meghan markle"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7f2169a1a7a7147/698945688fd2ee773d35dd21/prince-william-prince-harry-split-household.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7f2169a1a7a7147/698945688fd2ee773d35dd21/prince-william-prince-harry-split-household.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Prince-William-Prince-Harry-Split-Household","caption":"Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex attend Christmas Day Church service at Church of St Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham estate on December 25, 2018 in King's Lyn","creditText":"Samir Hussein/Samir Hussein/WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5532604/prince-william-prince-harry-split/","name":"Prince William and Prince Harry Are Going to Split Their Royal Household"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Greet Onlookers Together on Christmas","description":"Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, were all smiles as they greeted hundreds of onlookers during a Christmas stroll to a church service on Queen Elizabeth’s Estate.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/6vNZhSjI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-12-25T16:53:15.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/6vNZhSjI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5532604/prince-william-prince-harry-split/","duration":"PT3M49S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5532604/prince-william-prince-harry-split/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
