Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s £2.5m secret home they had to give up

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were briefly neighbours with Victoria and David Beckham.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s eight-year relationship has seen them explore a wide property portfolio. They started residing together at Harry’s bachelor pad at Nottingham Cottage before moving into their marital home at Frogmore Cottage, temporarily staying at Tyler Perry’s home in LA and finally purchasing their Montecito mansion, where they now reside with their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

One home that is rarely discussed is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s pre-wedding country property. Shortly before they walked down the aisle at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle in May 2018, the pair signed a two-year lease on a secluded bolthole in the Cotswolds where they intended to live while Frogmore Cottage was being renovated.

However, their stay was short-lived, and they were forced to flee the home after the press discovered their location. Here’s everything we know about the property they “loved”…

The 18th-century Grade II-listed house, estimated to be worth £2.5 million in 2018, was made out of pretty Cotswold stone and featured four bedrooms – one of which had reportedly been converted into a dressing room.

The couple moved to the Cotswolds while renovations were taking place at their Windsor home, which was their son Prince Archie’s first house

The Sun revealed that the converted barn extension was a self-contained area with a kitchen, a dining room, and a sitting area with floor-to-ceiling windows that soak up the views of the four acres of private land and the outdoor seating area with patio heaters. There was also a separate two-bedroom cottage for staff.

The Sussexes are said to have been very happy at the Cotswolds property, which offered them plenty of privacy to entertain their famous friends and ample outdoor space to walk their dogs.

During their stay, the couple is thought to have welcomed Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, to the property, as well as their friends George and Amal Clooney and Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian.

They were not the only ones to be drawn to the secluded Cotswolds area. The house was located on the 4,000-acre Great Tew Estate, home to David and Victoria Beckham’s country house and celebrity hotspot, Soho Farmhouse.
