Harry and Meghan will visit the Sussex town where Princess Diana’s father lived during a whistlestop tour of their dukedom next week.
The pair will be travelling near the Bognor Regis home formerly owned by the prince’s maternal grandfather, the 8th Earl Spencer.
Their trip comes as the owners of the property, who are now putting it up for sale, revealed they found childhood pictures of princes William and Harry in the loft.

Roger and Christina Sheppard bought the striking property on 6 Arun Way in 1994.
The couple moved from Fleet after falling in love with the panoramic sea views from the balcony on the first floor.
And after settling into their new home, they claim they made a jaw-dropping discovery.
‘We don’t know for a fact if Diana ever stayed here but next door found some photos in their loft of the young princes playing in the swimming pool,’ Mrs Sheppard told the Chichester Observer.
Mrs Sheppard said they made only superficial changes to the ‘very opulent’ property, which boasts a summer house with double glazed French doors.
‘Sussex country by the sea you really can’t beat it,’ she added.
‘It is such a special part of the world. We have spent 24 wonderful years here.’
