PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are interested in high-end properties tucked away in the rolling Cotswold hills, it has been reported.
A good friend of Prince Harry has reportedly said that the Royal, whose father’s residence Highgrove House, is in the south Cotswolds and has a long-standing admiration for the area, while Meghan is said to like its rustic charm.
The friend told the Daily Mail: “He is searching for a new home in the area.
“Before Meghan, he was vaguely looking in Norfolk but did not find what he wanted. Now, with her input, he has renewed his search.”
The Camerons, Beckhams, Kate Moss, Lily Allen and Stella McCartney all have million-pound properties in the area.
A local who knows the royal family is reported to have said: “It’s not surprising that Harry would like to live where he feels at home.
“He has lived in the Cotswolds all his life and often returns to visit his father. After his mother died, it became a place of sanctuary.
“When the boys entered their teens, Charles bought several homes in the area, thinking they might want one in the future.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been dating for over a year and engagement rumours have been rife since the couple made their first official public appearance at the Invictus Games in Toronto.
The couple recently took things to the next level by making their first official public appearance together at the Invictus Games in Toronto.
Earlier this week, Harry was joined by his brother Prince William, 35, and sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, at a charity event to champion World Mental Health Day.
Prince Harry and Prince William were seen earlier in the day giving speeches as they celebrated the impact of their mental health charity Heads Together.
They were then joined by the Duchess of Cambridge for an evening reception at Buckingham Palace, which was Kate’s first appearance since announcing he was pregnant with her third child on September 1.
Unfortunately for Harry and Meghan fans, the American actress was nowhere to be seen, as event-goers focused on the cause of the charity alongside Kate’s protruding baby bump.
