Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly looking at properties in the UK worth upwards of £10million, according to Mail on Sunday editor-at-large Charlotte Griffiths. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived back in Britain this week after living in Montecito, California, amid rumours they had “run out of money”.
Appearing on TalkTV on August 27, Griffiths was asked by anchor Duncan Barkes about where the couple might end up living. She said the rumour that they may live on a small farmhouse on the Spencer estate, or rent somewhere because they have no money, appears to be incorrect.
Properties north of £10million
Griffiths said: “What I am told is that the properties they’ve been looking at are north of £10million.” She added that she could not name the location because the couple issued a strong warning she must adhere to.
“But suffice to say, it is as you’d expect. It’s incredibly luxurious. It’s definitely got an LA whiff to it. I’ve got to be so careful not to identify it!”
She added: “I find it very interesting that it’s not some sort of dilapidated farmhouse, which at one point was the narrative – that they’d run out of money and were coming back. It seems that is not the case. The property is extremely expensive.”
Celebrity neighbour warns Duchess
It comes after the Sussexes’ potential new celebrity neighbour Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen issued a warning to the pair if they decide to move to the Cotswolds.
He told Express.co.uk: “It is going to be interesting to see how the Duchess fits in because, unlike the other side of the Cotswolds, we’re much less impressed by celebrity, which is why actually a lot of celebrities who are kind of like very good at being themselves are drawn to our side.”
He added: “I think [Meghan] is going to need to be very genuine. I think that’s the big moment here, is that the Cotswold folk can really sniff b******t, you know, they can really sniff when people aren’t being who they are.”
