Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be settling into one of Britain’s most celebrity-filled corners with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Cotswolds is reportedly their new home, putting the Sussexes in the same exclusive area as Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, as well as the Beckhams, Kate Moss and Stella McCartney, who all own property in the region. According to BBC, the family will base themselves at a private property outside of London in the Cotswolds area.Ellen DeGeneres, who also left her native America, lives in the Cotswolds with Portia de Rossi. The Beckhams, Kate Moss and Stella McCartney also own properties there, according to Vanity Fair.ALSO READ: MacKenzie Scott has given away 5 times more than Jeff Bezos despite his $280 billion net worth, 8x greater fortune and 13x more Amazon stockThe reported move would give Harry and Meghan a private countryside base while keeping them relatively close to King Charles III and his Gloucestershire residence, Highgrove. It could also provide a quieter setting for Archie and Lilibet as they begin school in England.A Cotswolds home could put the Sussexes among some very famous neighborsThe Cotswolds has long attracted celebrities looking for a quieter alternative to London. For Harry and Meghan, the area would offer countryside privacy while still being within reach of the capital. And they would certainly not be the only famous names living or owning property there.ALSO READ: Putin preparing to attack Europe? ‘Just don’t do it’, CIA chief’s warning revealed amid fears of Russian drone attacks and NATO conflictEllen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi live in the Cotswolds, while David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Stella McCartney also have properties in the area. That makes the reported Sussex move potentially another high-profile addition to the region's celebrity community. The setting may also appeal to Harry for another reason: Highgrove House, King Charles' private country residence, is nearby in Gloucestershire.ALSO READ: 'When is my mom coming back home?': Wife of active-duty US Army soldier deported to Honduras after ICE detention in front of daughter following Walmart tripWhy Harry and Meghan could choose the CotswoldsThe reported location would give the family something they have struggled to maintain during visits to Britain: privacy. Harry and Meghan previously lived in the Cotswolds after their 2018 wedding, but their time there was ultimately short-lived. Their privacy was compromised when photographs of their rented home were taken.Why the Cotswolds could be a good fitThe Sussexes are no strangers to the Cotswolds. Harry and Meghan previously lived in the area in 2018, shortly after their wedding. However, they eventually left after their privacy was compromised and photographs of their rented property were taken.Their reported return would therefore represent something of a second attempt at country living in England. The Cotswolds could also offer a middle ground for the couple.Harry would be closer to his father and to parts of his British family history, while the location would keep the Sussexes away from the immediate royal household in Windsor. As Vanity Fair noted, Highgrove could offer proximity to King Charles while keeping the couple at a greater distance from Prince William and Kate Middleton.ALSO READ: Dolly Parton grew up with 11 siblings in a tiny log cabin with no electricity or running water. It is now a must-visit tribute to the country music iconHarry and Meghan will not return to Frogmore CottageFrogmore Cottage is unlikely to become the Sussexes' UK home again. Harry and Meghan received Frogmore Cottage as a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth II and lived there with their son Archie. After stepping back from royal duties and leaving Britain, they continued to use the property as a UK base.That changed in 2023, when the couple was asked to vacate the Windsor property following the publication of Harry's memoir, Spare. Harry has since faced the recurring problem of finding somewhere private to stay during his UK visits.During a recent visit, he stayed for part of the trip at Althorp, the former home of his mother, Princess Diana, after a dispute involving his security arrangements.What about their Montecito mansion?Moving to Britain does not mean the Sussexes are giving up their American base. Harry and Meghan are expected to retain their Montecito, California, home, where they have lived with Archie and Lilibet since leaving Britain.They also have a property in Portugal, meaning the family will continue to have homes on both sides of the Atlantic. The arrangement gives the Sussexes the option of maintaining their established California life while spending an extended period in Britain.Archie and Lilibet's school is another clueThe children's education appears to be one of the biggest factors behind the UK move. Archie and Lilibet are reportedly enrolled at schools in England and are expected to begin the new school year in September. Their school is also being kept private, with reports suggesting it is located somewhere close to the family's new home.That makes the location of their UK residence particularly important. Rather than simply being a temporary visit, the arrangement appears designed to give the children a more sustained experience of life in Britain.
