The search for a new home in the UK has not been easy for Prince Harry. Since his eviction from Frogmore Cottage, he has been actively looking for a place that offers the privacy and security he and his family need. The desire to be close to King Charles III, who wants to spend more time with his grandchildren, has fueled Harry’s house-hunting efforts.
The Quest for Privacy and Security
Harry’s Dilemma
Harry’s search for a UK base is fraught with challenges. His experience has been limited to well-protected, secluded homes, making it difficult to find a property that meets his high standards for privacy and security. Every house he considers seems to have significant drawbacks.
Frogmore Cottage: A Missed Opportunity
Frogmore Cottage, located deep within the Windsor estate, was an ideal home for Harry. Its substantial size and secure location made it perfect for someone seeking seclusion. However, Harry’s decision to step back from royal duties meant giving up this residence, a consequence he hadn’t fully anticipated.
Replicating Highgrove’s Seclusion
A Georgian House Near Highgrove
With no chance of returning to any family-owned properties, Harry is now considering purchasing a secluded Georgian house similar to his father’s Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire. This type of property offers the privacy Harry desires and keeps him close to family.
The Cost of Security
One major concern for Harry is the cost of security. Even with a house near Highgrove, Harry believes substantial security measures would be necessary. Despite this, the benefits for his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, could outweigh the costs. Living close to their grandfather and cousins could provide valuable family connections.
Prince Harry’s search for a new home in the UK is a complex endeavor, driven by a need for privacy, security, and family proximity. While the challenges are significant, finding the right property could foster closer family ties and provide a secure environment for his children.
Is Harry returning home because he is failing in the US?
There have been many media articles talking about Meghan and Prince Harry’s failing Hollywood dreams. However, it shouldn’t come as a shocker that Prince Harry is looking for a home in the UK.
On their SussexRoyal website and on their SussexRoyal instagram page, the Sussexes stated:
We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.
As we seen, the Sussexes had became “financially independent” with the launch of Meghan’s podcast career, their Netflix docuseries, and Prince Harry’s memoir Spare (among other projects).
The Sussexes went on to say the following:
We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
One can now assume that since the Sussexes earned money (in the millions of dollars), they have become financially independent enough to purchase a home in the UK while keeping their home in California so that they can balance their time between the United Kingdom and North America.
