Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined George and Amal Clooney at their Italian villa in Lake Como to relax by the pool and explore on motorbikes shortly after their wedding, according to the authors of new biography Finding Freedom.
Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claim the couple weren't the only royal guests invited to stay at the A-list couple's luxurious home - estimated to be worth £100million - because their visit overlapped with Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's stay, too. 

The bombshell book, which is out today, tells how that George Clooney, 59, arranged for Harry, 35, and Meghan, 39, who tied the knot at St George's Chapel in Windsor on May 19, 2018, to fly from London to Lake Como on his own private jet in the early evening of August 16.

The newlyweds then arrived into Milan's airport, and from there were driven in an unmarked car to George and his human rights barrister wife's Villa Oleandra.
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. 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.'

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex claim they were not interviewed for the book and did not contribute to the tale by authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, which provides a high level of personal detail and a dramatic account of the events leading up to the Sussexes' departure from royal life.
But Scobie said today that while they did not interview the couple, 'many' friends gave them insights - providing 'a lens to the couple through their friends and their circle of aides'.

Palace insiders have described the book as 'score settling' after Harry and Meghan left the Royal Family for a life in Los Angeles - after suddenly announcing their intentions in January in a move that left The Queen 'hurt'.

It is one of a number of revelations made in the book.

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 private jet on August 16.

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

"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 theatre, 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 parlour' complete with pizza oven.

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

"To maximise 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.
