Secret revealed: Prince Harry and Meghan hid a farmhouse rental

It has been revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle secretly rented a second property in Great Britain, a farmhouse known as 'Westfield Large' in the Cotswolds, before their relocation to Frogmore Cottage. This previously unknown residence was used by the couple for a period, details of which have now emerged.

According to the publication 'Express,' Harry and Meghan signed a two-year lease for Westfield Large shortly before their wedding. Valued at approximately £2.5 million in 2018, the four-bedroom house sat on four acres of land in a prestigious location near the popular 'Soho House' club and the Beckham family's estate. The couple reportedly stayed there while extensive renovations were carried out at their primary residence.

However, their idyllic life at the secret farm was short-lived. In May 2019, shortly after the birth of their son Archie, the couple was compelled to terminate the lease and vacate the property. The reason cited was the publication of private photos of their home, taken by paparazzi from the air, which the couple's representatives stated posed a direct threat to the family's safety.

"The distribution and public publication of these photographs have seriously compromised the safety of the Duke and his family to such an extent that they can no longer physically live in this house," stated an official release from the royal family at the time. Following this incident, the couple fully moved into Frogmore Cottage, though their time in Britain continued to be eventful, culminating in King Charles III's decision in the summer of 2023 to evict them from that residence.
