The 3 reasons Cotswolds locals 'don't want Harry and Meghan as neighbours'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle landed back in the UK on Wednesday and are reportedly preparing to move to the Cotswolds - but locals have already given several reasons why they do not want the Sussexes as neighbours. Daily Express reporter Adam Toms travelled to the picturesque region as news of the couple's arrival broke and found that residents and tourists had concerns about the prospect of the Sussexes settling among them.
TL;DR
- Some Cotswolds residents and tourists have voiced opposition to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle potentially moving to the area.
- Reasons for opposition include personal dislike, with some calling the couple a "disgrace" and "two-faced" for seeking privacy while wanting publicity.
- Fears exist that the couple's presence could reignite tensions within the Royal Family and "stir up" royal drama.
- A major practical concern is the potential for increased overtourism, as the Cotswolds are already a popular tourist hotspot.
- Some residents are more relaxed, noting the Cotswolds is already home to celebrities.
- One resident compared the potential impact to the visitor interest generated by "Clarkson's Farm."
