Finding Freedom, which is out today, claims George Clooney, 59, arranged for Harry and Meghan, who tied the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in 2018, to fly to Lake Como on his own private jet on August 16.

Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand say the couple weren’t the only royal guests invited to stay at the luxurious home – because their visit overlapped with Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s stay too.

The newlyweds arrived into Milan’s airport before being driven in an unmarked car to the Clooney’s Villa Oleandra, it has been claimed.

During the three-day visit, a source said: “Meghan and Amal spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool and playing with the twins while George and Harry checked out George’s motorbike collection.

“Harry took one of them out with one of his protection officers.

A-LIST GUESTS

“George recently had an accident, so he wasn’t back on his bike yet.

“The Duke and Duchess weren’t the only guests that weekend.

“Eugenie and her fiance, Jack Brooksbank, were already at the villa when Harry and Meghan arrived, their visits overlapping briefly.”

George and Amal Clooney, along with their two twins Alexander and Ella, were staying in their twenty-five-room mansion a month before Meghan and Harry joined them.

Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerbe, Stella McCartney and David and Victoria Beckham are among the other celebs who have previously stayed at the mansion.

According to the authors, the villa, which is located in the village of Laglio, boasts an outdoor theater, a swimming pool, and a garage to house the movie star’s five vintage motorbikes.

They continued: “It also included a tennis court, a full gym, huge bathrooms, and a ‘pizza parlor’ complete with pizza oven.

ITALIAN HOLIDAY 

“The ornately carved ceilings in each room were a talking point alone.

“To maximize security, the group stayed in every night, well-fed by rotating chefs.

“On the final night of Harry and Meghan’s stay, George hired the chef from Il Gatto Nero, one of his favourite local restaurants, to prepare an Italian feast for fifteen. 

“The party, including neighbours and their house guests, dined at long trestle tables in the landscaped gardens. 

“As live music echoed over the estate, guests enjoyed the gathering until the early hours.”

The Duke and Duchess and the Clooneys are understood to be close friends – and Meghan and Amal are both said to use celebrity stylist Miguel Perez.

The Clooneys were among the 200 guests who partied the night away at Frogmore House to celebrate the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding.

Hollywood heartthrob George is said to have danced with Meghan at the reception.

Clooney fell in love with Italy and purchased the villa in 2002 – and at the time, the actor paid £10million for Villa Oleandra.
