‘Earl Spencer promised’: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could move into Princess Diana’s former home Althorp…see more
Prince Harry’s uncle Earl Spencer has reportedly offered the Sussexes use of Althorp House as a temporary new UK base following their eviction from Frogmore Cottage.
Charles Spencer, the ninth Earl Spencer inherited Princess Diana’s childhood home Althorp, which is also where the late Princess is buried.
It is understood that Harry made a discreet visit to the property, located in leafy Northamptonshire an hour outside London, during a recent trip to the UK.
Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner believes Althorp could become a “secure temporary location for Harry and (his) family if they decide to return to Britain.”
“Earl Spencer promised at the funeral of his sister Diana… to constantly look after his nephews William and Harry,” he told Fox News digital.
“It is no surprise to me that Harry stayed at Althorp recently because they have been very close since that time.”
Set over 13,000 acres, Althorp contains 28 listed buildings and structures in addition to the main house and rivals some official royal residences in size and opulence.
