Prince Harry ‘house hunting in UK’ as he wants Sussex family to spend more time in Britain
Prince Harry is planning to divide his time between the UK and the US, according to an insider. Prince Harry is reportedly looking to buy a home in the UK as he wants to divide his time between Britain and the US, a source has claimed. But the latest move by the Duke of Sussex is causing friction between him and his wife Meghan Markle, who reportedely wants to stay in the States. The source told OK!: “There is a divide between the couple on this issue but they will soon start looking for a property of their own near London and Harry is very much leading this.”
Harry won’t be asking his father, King Charles, for a property on the royal estate, the source continued, due to the “issue that arose with Frogmore Cottage.” “Making use of a small apartment in Kensington Palace from time to time isn’t out of the question, but when it comes to a home in the UK, they will purchase that themselves,” the source stated. The couple were asked to leave Frogmore Cottage earlier this year after Harry published his memoir, Spare in January, which revealed lots of intimate details about the Royal Family.
On top of that, Harry and Meghan have started to think about where their children should go to school with the source claiming that “it’s not yet decided where Archie and Lilibet will be educated.” The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the US in 2020 after they quit their royal duties. Ever since then, the couple have been estranged from the Firm and have released various bombshells about them over the years. Meanwhile, Meghan has only been back to the UK a handful of times, with a royal expert claiming that it’s not unlikely her husband will come back regularly without her.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe said: “Harry’s got more reason to come back to the UK than Meghan, so I think we would see these trips, especially if he’s involved with things like the Invictus Games, where most of the people who work for that are in London.” The expert added that it’s unlikely Meghan will want to spend much time in the UK and that the driving force behind Harry’s decision is his children, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.
He stated: “It’s unlikely that Meghan will want to spend much time in the UK. She has shown no sign that she holds any kind of love for England. She’s not given any hints that she would want to move back, even temporarily, to the UK.” “If they don’t have a base here, Harry’s children are going to grow up not knowing their cousins, uncles or aunts, or any of their family. They’re growing up fast and his father isn’t getting any younger. I think he would want to do this before it’s too late,” the expert added.
