Prince Harry will be ‘confined’ to his 14,500 sq ft Californian mansion

The royal is set to work from home during the Covid-19 pandemic

He will also be spared a daily commute for his other new role, a part-time position probing fake news.

There should be space in the 14,500 sq ft, nine-bed house in Montecito, California, he shares with pregnant wife Meghan, 39, and 22-month-old son Archie.

Toilet breaks can be taken in one of the mansion’s 16 bathrooms and his lunch hour spent in five acres of land.

It has a playground, swimming pool, tennis courts and a chicken coop for when Harry needs to unwind from his first corporate job.

A WORLD AWAY

Royal author Penny Junor said it was a world away from most people’s experience of working from home.

She said: “There will probably be space for him on the kitchen table. He won’t be tripping over Duplo bricks — I’m sure he can find a room to himself.

“I think it’ll be a lot easier for him than many others who struggle with working from home.”

BetterUp CEO Alexi Robichaux said Harry will not have an office at its San Francisco HQ but will come in when Covid restrictions lift.

The Celeb Report told on Wednesday, below, of his job promoting BetterUp’s mental health app.

Harry began that day with an Instagram message saying: “Self-optimisation is not about fixing something that’s broken.

“It’s about becoming the best version of ourselves, with whatever life throws at us — someone who is ready for the next challenge and can meet setbacks with courage, confidence, and self-awareness.”
