The harsh warning Harry and Meghan have given their closest friends

Apparently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had words with their closest friends.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been the centre of public attention ever since they first confirmed their relationship and it's only become more intense since they married in May. This coupled with the interviews Meghan's father and sister have given to several media outlets resulted in a lot of hype and according to reports, the newlyweds are now hoping to keep part of their lives private. Understandably so. Apparently, they've had to have discussions with their nearest and dearest, their close friends, explaining that they need privacy, now more than ever. According to Vanity Fair, a source said:

"They both expect a code of silence. If you talk to the press you’re out. "Harry didn’t used to care that much about what was written in the press, he just said it was a load of shite, but he’s very protective of Meghan and defensive these days".

Sounds like they're taking things very seriously indeed. They have been spending a lot of time in their country cottage in The Cotswolds, in a remote area which allows them some time away from the spotlight. A local from the area commented on the couple visiting the area with reports saying that they like to spend weekends in the countryside.

"It’s very clear they want to be private and left alone. "The property is in the middle of woodland and you wouldn’t know it was there. It is very remote which is why they like it. It’s like a fortress. There’s a huge security presence, you can’t get close".

Are we about to see a lot less of the couple?
