Just when you were getting jealous of all of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's homes (and there are many), it looks like Megs and Harry are actually looking to let go of some of their real estate.

Earlier this month the first photos of Meghan and Harry's Cotswold home were released, and the four-bedroom former farmhouse where the royal couple has hosted celeb friends like George and Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, and Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas looks super luxe.

But even though Meghan and Harry are said to "spend most weekends" at their Cotswold home to retreat from the spotlight, the Daily Mail reports that the couple is now planning to move out "within weeks." This early departure from their vacation home is unexpected, as the royals have a two-year lease on the £2.5million property.

There are two reasons being suggested for the sudden move. One is that Harry and Meg are having a hard time paying for the upkeep of both the Cotswold home and Frogmore Cottage, which is currently going through extensive renovations (while taxpayers are paying for a lot of the updates, Harry and Meghan have to pay for all of the "fixtures and fittings" themselves).

Other sources say that the reason for the early cancellation of the lease is due to security reasons. The home is "not situated on a heavily guarded estate," and "not as heavily protected as it could be." Plus, there is some worry about the strain that their presence means for the local police force.

No matter the reason, don't worry because Harry and Megs will be totally fine. After all, the updates that they're doing on their other home Frogmore cottage sound swanky as hell.
