Exclusive: Prince Harry Searching for Secluded Georgian House Near King Charles’ Highgrove Estate
Prince Harry hasn’t had a home in the UK since he was evicted from Frogmore Cottage but now the Duke of Sussex could be looking for a new house with Meghan Markle near to his family, a royal expert says
Prince Harry has been hunting for a “secluded Georgian house” close to his father’s Highgrove estate, a royal expert has said.
After several reports that King Charles III wants to spend more time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, speculation has been rife that the Duke Of Sussex has been house hunting in the UK. Now Royal author and expert Tom Quinn has said that Harry could be set to introduce a new UK base into his family’s life.
But the move could be far more complex than hoped with Harry having to weigh up his options carefully. Talking exclusively to Mirror.co.uk Tom said: “Harry has spent a lot of time trying to work out what sort of UK base he might have. He has no experience of living in anything other than well protected houses that are also well away from the public, so he has a huge problem. Every house he looks at has drawbacks. ”
Quinn also highlighted how Harry will be struggling to find anything that offers the same level of privacy that he and wife Meghan Markle had at Frogmore Cottage. He continued: “Apart from the security risks Harry has become increasingly obsessed with his privacy and wants to be well away from prying eyes – that was the key reason he was so upset and angry when his father King Charles evicted him from Frogmore Cottage.
“Frogmore is actually a substantial house deep in the grounds of the royal estate at Windsor – it’s also very secure and it would have been perfect. It never occurred to Harry that giving up being a working royal meant giving up the house, but then Harry has always been nothing if not naïve.”
Quinn then said how Harry is hoping to replicate the kind of property his father has with Highgrove. He said: “With no chance of returning to any of the houses in the gift of his family, Harry has looked at buying the kind of secluded Georgian house in its own grounds that his father has at Highgrove in Gloucestershire.”
