Home is where the heart is—and for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, that may be Oxfordshire, England.

According to a new report, the couple is allegedly house hunting in the quaint region of the Cotswolds, which runs through five counties (Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire). It’s a mere hour away from London, making it perfect for well-to-do Brits and celebrities like Victoria and David Beckham, Kate Moss, and Stella McCartney.

But perhaps the most famous resident of the Cotswolds is Prince Harry’s father, Prince Charles. In fact, Harry and William spent many weekends at Highgrove House growing up, some of them wilder than others: Rumor has it that former “Party Prince” Harry dubbed Highgrove’s basement “Club H.”

It’s not all about the Windsors, however. The Daily Mail says that Markle too is “entranced by its rustic charm.”

Rustic, yes, but not unsophisticated: The area is home to plenty of designer shops and fine-dining restaurants. There’s even a country outpost of the Soho House, the members-only club that’s played a significant role in the couple’s fairy-tale romance.

This alleged house hunting is fueling rumors that Markle quit her American television show, Suits, and that the two are engaged. And maybe so! But it’s important to remember that Kate Middleton and Prince William lived together in college and in Anglesey in Wales before they were officially engaged.

Guess we’ll just have to vicariously live through the double Game of Thrones engagement until Harry and Meghan decide to finally tie the knot.
