According to the , during the Invictus Games, the couple will be staying at a multi-million luxury pad located in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs, which has beachfront views and eight grand bedrooms.

It also has an infinity pool, several living rooms, a bar and eight bathrooms – not too shabby!

While the exact home hasn’t been confirmed, it is said to be strikingly similar to the lavish Villa Del Mare mansion, which costs just under a staggering AU$40million (£22million).

The lodging definitely looks fit for royalty, and not because of its elite address that boasts sweeping views over the iconic Sydney harbour.
