Prince Harry 'hunting for secluded UK home' near King Charles' Highgrove base
Royal author and expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror that Prince Harry has been looking for a "secluded Georgian house" near his dad's place, Highgrove estate.
It's thought that King Charles is keen to spend more time with his grandkids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, which has got everyone thinking that Harry might be looking to buy a place in the 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 said that Harry will struggle to find somewhere as private as Frogmore Cottage, where he and Meghan Markle used to live.
He added: "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," reports the Mirror.
"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 shared 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."
However, Tom believes one major obstacle for Harry could be the cost of security in the UK, but the benefits for his children could outweigh that drawback.
He said: "The fly in the ointment is the fact that Harry doesn't want to pay for security and he is convinced that a great deal of security would be necessary even if the house was close to his father's home.
"On the other hand, the idea of buying a house close to his father means he will be able to come to the UK for short periods with his children so they can have some kind of a relationship with their cousins and their grandfather."
