The paper reports that Harry knows the Cotswolds well, having spent time there as a child and has many friends and family members who live in the region. They also reveal that while Harry may have initially been considering settling near Prince William and Kate in Norfolk, he is now focussing his search on the stunning countryside of the Cotswolds. Locals have even spotted Harry spending time in villages within the area, says the paper.
