Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s temporary living arrangement in the UK has reportedly been revealed, giving royal watchers a closer look at how the couple is settling into life back in Britain.
According to a friend of Prince Harry cited by royal expert Alison Boshoff, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently staying at a property located on a friend’s estate.
The arrangement appears to be temporary, however, and the couple may not move into a permanent UK home anytime soon.
A friend of Harry reportedly explained that the couple are unlikely to find a suitable property that is immediately ready for them to move into. The search could therefore become a much longer process than initially expected.
The insider suggested that it could take 12 to 18 months before Harry and Meghan move into another permanent property, depending on when they are able to complete the purchase or move.
The source also indicated that the Sussexes are looking for a particular type of property, including a significant amount of land. Homes matching those requirements do not become available regularly, meaning the couple may have to remain patient while searching.
This could explain why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's temporary home in UK is currently linked to a friend rather than a residence of their own.
The Sussexes returned to Britain after spending several years living in the United States. Their move marks a significant change for the family, although they continue to remain non-working members of the Royal Family.
For now, their temporary stay appears to give Harry and Meghan time to find a property that matches their needs rather than rushing into a permanent decision.
The reported 12-to-18-month timeframe also suggests that their current UK accommodation may remain part of their plans for considerably longer than many expected. And if a suitable property does not become available, their search could potentially continue beyond that period.
The details offer a new glimpse into the practical side of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's return to the UK, with their permanent home apparently still undecided.
