Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly turning to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi for advice as they prepare to establish a home in Britain. The couple’s reported UK return has brought a very different challenge for Harry. This is because the latter has spent much of his life in Britain in royal residences and allegedly has limited experience choosing a private family home on his own.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi reportedly advised Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on privacy
According to Naughty But Nice, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have quietly shared their experience with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after moving to Britain themselves. Ellen and Meghan have been friends for several years, giving the Sussexes a personal connection to someone who understands the pressure of living in the public eye.
“Harry knows Britain, but he doesn’t know British real estate,” a source claimed. The insider said the Duke has rarely handled decisions about neighborhoods, privacy, security or whether a home would suit his family. The source claimed Ellen did not recommend specific houses. Instead, she reportedly helped Harry and Meghan understand what they should consider when choosing their British base.
“Ellen wasn’t playing real-estate agent — she was much more useful than that,” the insider said. According to the source, she and Portia advised the Sussexes on areas to consider and avoid. They also discussed locations that could give the family privacy while keeping them close to London.
Security and privacy will likely play a major role in the Sussexes’ decision. Harry has previously raised concerns about his family’s safety in Britain, especially after he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Their private home will need strong security while giving Archie and Lilibet a sense of normal family life. The insider described Ellen and Portia’s advice as a practical lesson for Harry. “Harry knows how to live in a palace, but finding a normal house is completely different,” the source claimed.
