After several reports that King Charles III wants to spend more time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, speculation has been rife that the Duke Of Sussex has been house hunting in the UK. Now Royal author and expert Tom Quinn has said that Harry could be set to introduce a new UK base into his family’s life. But the move could be far more complex than hoped with Harry having to weigh up his options carefully. Talking exclusively to Mirror.co.uk Tom said: “Harry has spent a lot of time trying to work out what sort of UK base he might have. He has no experience of living in anything other than well protected houses that are also well away from the public, so he has a huge problem. Every house he looks at has drawbacks. ” For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US.

He continued: “Apart from the security risks Harry has become increasingly obsessed with his privacy and wants to be well away from prying eyes – that was the key reason he was so upset and angry when his father King Charles evicted him from Frogmore Cottage. “Frogmore is actually a substantial house deep in the grounds of the royal estate at Windsor – it’s also very secure and it would have been perfect. It never occurred to Harry that giving up being a working royal meant giving up the house, but then Harry has always been nothing if not naïve.” Prince Harry Highgrove is King Charles’ countryside escape ( Image: Getty Images) Quinn then said how Harry is hoping to replicate the kind of property his father has with Highgrove. He said: “With no chance of returning to any of the houses in the gift of his family, Harry has looked at buying the kind of secluded Georgian house in its own grounds that his father has at Highgrove in Gloucestershire.” However, Tom believes one major spanner in the works for Harry could be the cost of security in the UK, but the benefits for his children could outweigh that drawback. He said: “The fly in the ointment is the fact that Harry doesn’t want to pay for security and he is convinced that a great deal of security would be necessary even if the house was close to his father’s home. On the other hand, the idea of buying a house close to his father means he will be able to come to the UK for short periods with his children so they can have some kind of a relationship with their cousins and their grandfather.”Eventually, the former boxer, once known as the ‘most dangerous man on the planet,’ seemed to have had enough and started punching the fan.
Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored the former heavyweight champion revealed that he had turned up to the flight slightly high.
The Hall of Famer had been in the midst of smoking cannabis with 60,000 people before turning up to his Miami flight from San Francisco.
And well, he claims he couldn’t take any more.
He told Piers: “First of all, I came from this place called Hippie Hill, 60,000 people were there smoking cannabis.
“So by the time I’m on the plane, I’m hungry, high and tired, OK? And this guy keeps antagonising me.
“And then I came to my senses and kicked his f***king ass.
“I’m only joking. I wish I did kick his a**. My bodyguard jumped on top of him.”

Tyson admitted that he now tries to stay out of trouble because his wife Spicer is worried he’ll get ‘cancelled’.
Although, there’s been a few occasions when he’s been antagonised to making a reaction.
When asked about particular incidents: “[There are] quite a few but I’ve only had to put my hands on one.
“Listen, I can’t play like that anymore or my wife gets mad. She doesn’t like my sense of humour. She thinks I’m going to get cancelled or some s**t.”
Iron Mike added that he believes being around Spicer keeps him from getting in any serious trouble.
He continued: “I think she thinks she keeps me out of trouble. I’m always with her, so that’s why I’m not in trouble.”
However, he doesn’t believe he’d dish out any more punishment if his wife weren’t around.
He added: “No, I don’t believe in that. My wife always says to be nice when I go outside, so I would take that advice and be nice.”
