However, now the property next door has become home to a ''single mum, living with her mum'', as well as a child.
According to the frustrated woman, who's also managed to take a snap of the neighbours peeking from their windows, they spend ''every evening staring at us and looking over when sitting with hubby quietly to a drink''.
Although the TikToker has allegedly ''reported'' the ''annoying'' issue, the nuisance hasn't stopped.
The furious woman also added that she's tried knocking on their door to see what the issue is - however, she doesn't want to cause any further problems for herself.
Budda Love explained: ''I would love to knock on her door but I don't wanna get done for harassment.
''I do shout out every time when I catch them! Madness.
''Life was great until she moved in.''
It's not just windows that the family take a sneak peek through - according to the social media users, the neighbours have now also started looking over the fence by standing ''on something'' for a better view.
''We started doing rituals against them so they watch a better show,'' she chuckled in a recent video.
But while some suggested buying a pergola or planting trees, the woman revealed that she's come up with a new solution - and one that means she can sunbathe in peace.
Kate Lawler locked in bitter row with neighbour after controversial move - whose side are YOU on-
To block their view as much as possible, Budda Love has since resorted to 'wasting' her bed sheets - which she's set up as a DIY tent.
Fuming, she said: ''F****g sad, nosy neighbours. Wasted my clean sheets.''
How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
Social media users react
The video - which many said they could relate to - has since taken the platform by storm, amassing close to a whopping 300k views and 294k likes in just two days.
More than 130 people also flooded to comments, where many suggested their solutions - some more hilarious and bizarre than others.
One joked: ''You should take the sheets away, turn your chairs round to face them....and sit there and watch them watching you all evening.''
Another chimed in: ''I can relate!''
Someone else chuckled: ''you should start doing random things in your back garden like wear black robes with a hood and start doing pretend satanic rituals with candles and freak them out lol.''
A fourth advised: ''get rid of the concrete, plant some trees nobody overlooks you then.''

Who is Wimbledon's most glamorous player Dayana Yastremska: Instagram model & party host who is allergic to grass
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DAYANA YASTREMSKA is one of the most glamorous players on the tennis circuit - combining her impressive athletic ability with a sensational social media showing. Here's everything you need to know about Dayana, who is competing at the Wimbledon for the 2025 edition of the Slam. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Dayana Yastremska reached the semis at the Australian Open in 2024 Credit: AFP 5 She's also a top influencer with a massive following Credit: @dayana_yastremskay 5 The versatile star has even released some records Credit: @dayana_yastremskay Who is Dayana Yastremska? Dayana Yastremska, the world No 42 in ladies' tennis, was born on May 15, 2000, in Odesa, Ukraine. She not only racks up impressive on-court achievements — she's also a versatile social media star with a glamorous lifestyle and magnetic public image. Dayana is an Instagram model and a popular party host, often sharing stylish snaps showing off her fantastic fashion sense and stylish social life. As of July 1, 2025, she has over 215k followers on the platform. Her profile feed is filled with chic outfits, glamorous photo shoots and lavish parties. 5 Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - follow all the latest scores and updates from a thrilling fortnight at SW19 Tennis Dayana rose rapidly through the professional tennis ranks, making a name for herself with a powerful baseline game and aggressive style. She first caught the tennis world's attention when she won her maiden WTA title at the 2018 Hong Kong Open at just 18 years old. Since then, Dayana has secured three WTA singles titles and achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 21 in January 2020. Her breakthrough on the Grand Slam stage came at the 2024 Australian Open, where she reached the semi-finals. Despite her on-court successes, Dayana's journey has not been without hurdles. Wimbledon match suspended as fans call for help and player ushers medics into stands Ban scare In 2021, she received a provisional doping ban after testing positive for a prohibited substance. She protested her innocence and six months later was allowed to play again after an independent tribunal ruled that her positive test was merely the result of contamination. Dayana subsequently struggled to return to her former ranking. Fleeing war In February 2022, she was forced to leave her home with her sister after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Odesa-born star posted a picture of herself alongside her younger sister Ivanna, writing: "After spending two nights in the underground parking, my parents made a decision at any cost to send me and my little sister out of Ukraine. "Mom, Dad, we love you very much, take care of yourself!!! I love you my country! Ukrainians take care of your lives." 5 Proud Ukrainian Dayana was forced to flee her home after the Russian invasion Credit: AFP Dayana, who chose to pursue tennis having been a promising swimmer and gymnast, was eventually joined in France by her mum Marina, while dad Ivan remained in Ukraine. Hidden talent During the pandemic, Yastremska showed off one of her other keen interests by releasing two singles. Her songs Thousands of Me and Favourite Track were released in the summer of 2020, and she recently teased that she had some new music in the works. "In February I hope that one new song will come out," she teased. Grass allergy One of the most fascinating and somewhat ironic aspects of Dayana's story is her allergy to grass — the very surface she will be competing at Wimbledon. Despite this allergy, she has shown remarkable grit and adaptability. In June 2025, she made history by becoming the first Ukrainian player in 17 years to reach a WTA Tour final on grass at the Nottingham Open. She has openly talked about the discomfort her allergy causes — but also expressed her love for playing tennis on grass courts.

Queen doubted Meghan long before Megxit & palace feared she ‘engineered' marriage & was NOT in love, says expert
For the first time the Queen's private concerns have been made public in heartbreaking detail — showing just how perceptive she proved to be ROYAL REVELATIONS Queen doubted Meghan long before Megxit & palace feared she 'engineered' marriage & was NOT in love, says expert Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FIVE years have passed since Megxit tore apart the Royal Family. It gave Queen Elizabeth II undue stress and upset in the last few years of her life. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot Credit: PA:Press Association 4 The Queen and Meg watch a flypast to mark the centenary of the RAF from the balcony of Buckingham Palace Credit: Getty 4 The Queen and Charles accompanied by Lady Elizabeth Anson Credit: PA But according to royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith, the late monarch and her innermost circle had had their doubts about Prince Harry's marriage to Meghan Markle long before they dropped the proverbial bomb and quit royal life in 2020. In fact, the Queen feared her grandson was 'besotted and weak' and said he had been 'rude' to her in the lead-up to his and Meghan's wedding at St George's Chapel in Windsor in 2018. She also worried that his bride-to-be had manipulated the prince, while getting away with a raft of bad behaviour. Now, for the first time, the Queen's private concerns have been made public in heartbreaking detail — showing just how perceptive she proved to be. This week Sally published 'explosive' revelations made to her by one of Her Majesty's closest confidantes, her first cousin once removed, Lady Elizabeth Anson, in several conversations in 2018 and 2019. Lady Elizabeth claimed there were serious concerns in the upper echelons of the Palace, long before Harry and Meghan made themselves royal pariahs. In fact, just days before the wedding, she told Sally: 'We hope but don't quite think [Meghan] is in love. 'We think she engineered it all.' She added: 'It's worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry. 'The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both.' It's unforgivable what Meghan did to the Queen - she's caused a bigger crisis than the death of Diana, says expert In another exchange, Lady Elizabeth said: 'I don't trust Meghan an inch. 'Meghan could turn into nothing but trouble.' Musty smell The shock revelations were released this week in Sally's Royals Extra feature on publishing platform Substack. The observations by Lady Elizabeth, who died from lung cancer in November 2020 aged 79, show the warning signs were there from the start — and proved well-founded. She said Meghan had initially appeared 'natural, intelligent and thoughtful' after getting engaged to Harry in 2017. But as their wedding approached, they both caused a stir with their poor behaviour — and blatant disrespect for the Queen. Harry was reportedly 'rude to her for ten minutes' in one meeting and upset her by asking the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the wedding service in May 2018, without first seeking permission from the Dean of Windsor. As a high-society event planner herself, Lady Elizabeth — who was born at Windsor Castle in 1941 and was also King George VI's goddaughter — understood all too well just what an embarrassing situation this put the Queen in. She said at the time: 'Harry seems to think the Queen can do what she wants, but she can't. 'On the religious side, it is the Dean of Windsor's jurisdiction.' She added that as a result, 'Harry has blown his relationship with his grandmother.' They did later 'patch things up' — but the hurt remained. As for Meghan, allegations of her 'diva-like' behaviour in the run-up to her big day is nothing new. Indeed, at the time, it was rumoured that she had been nicknamed 'Me-gain' by Palace courtiers, thanks to her extensive demands, and among her many complaints, had moaned about the 'musty' smell in the chapel. Nicknamed 'Me-gain' by Palace courtiers She had even allegedly ordered staff to 'go around with these atomisers, like spritzer guns, and spray the chapel with scent before anyone arrived.' This follows years of allegations about Meghan's 'bullying' behaviour — something that even sparked an internal investigation at Buckingham Palace. However, this is the first time we have heard about the Queen's thoughts on the matter — and they were not good, according to Lady Elizabeth, who was a great-niece of the Queen Mother and a goddaughter of King George VI. In 2018 she told Sally that Meghan had rattled the Queen days before the wedding, revealing: 'They had tea with her the day before yesterday. 'She was trying to find out about the wedding dress, and Meghan wouldn't tell her.' This was enough to spark concern in the Palace, with hushed fears brewing that Meghan could 'turn into nothing but trouble' and that — despite royal protocol — 'she sees things in a different way'. As Sally revealed this week, 'I asked her if Meghan was being bossy. 'So I gather,' Lady Elizabeth replied. 'Very much so.'' What's more, the Queen is said to have worried about Meghan's infamously frosty relationship with her soon to be sister-in-law, Kate Middleton — telling her confidante that Meghan and Kate were 'not working well'. 4 Sally Bedell Smith, Queen Elizabeth's biographer Credit: Getty As history's proven, the Queen was right again. Around the time of the wedding, it was widely reported that Meghan had made Kate cry over a disagreement about Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress. Then, in their explosive sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Harry and Meghan claimed the 'reverse' was true. Meghan said that she was in fact the one in tears, adding, 'I don't say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized.' Two years later, in his 2023 memoir Spare, Harry doubled down on Kate's allegedly 'icy' behaviour towards Meghan, claiming she'd made a 'grimace' when the latter had borrowed her lipgloss. Clearly, as the Queen and Lady Elizabeth foretold, that bad blood between Kate and Meghan and their warring husbands only worsened. Despite their concerns, there was — of course — hope that Harry and Meghan would take the mantle as loyal and popular senior members of the royal family. Harry seems to think the Queen can do what she wants, but Her Majesty can't... Harry has blown relationship with his grandmother And, initially, at least, they showed some promise. Just weeks after they got married, they proudly stood on the balcony at Buckingham Palace alongside Harry's family for Meghan's first Trooping the Colour. But by February, a then pregnant Meghan was sparking concern yet again. Writing on her recent Substack, Sally revealed, 'By late February 2019 when Liza [Lady Elizabeth's nickname] and I spoke on the phone, she said, 'I don't trust Meghan an inch. 'To begin with, she was not bad — a straightforward starlet, used to public speaking and charity work. 'The wedge between the brothers is really too bad.'' Sadly, the wedge only widened. In January 2020, Harry and Meghan announced they'd chosen to 'transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution'. At first, it seemed they wanted to keep one foot in the royal fold, while pursuing financial and commercial opportunities on the outside — but, after months of negotiations, the Queen and the then Prince Charles laid down the law: they were either fully in or fully out. There was no in-between. They opted for the latter and moved to the US later that year, infamously launching a crusade of palace-bashing and complaints against the royals in the aftermath. Their first attack came in 2021 when, as mentioned, they sat down with Oprah Winfrey, and claimed — among several accusations — that the palace hadn't protected Meghan when negative stories circulated about her, and hadn't supported her during a mental health crisis. They also claimed there had been racially-charged speculation over the colour of their future child's skin. In response, the Queen — who lived by her mantra to 'Never complain, never explain' — made the unprecedented move to respond to their attacks. The Queen and Meghan had tea days before the wedding. Her Majesty was trying to find out about the wedding dress, and Meghan wouldn't tell her A palace statement said on her behalf: 'The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan. 'The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. 'Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. 'Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.' As we all know by now, the schism has only grown. The Queen died in September 2022 at the age of 96 — before Harry and Meghan upped their outbursts against the royals. Thankfully, she didn't live to read his memoir, which made pointed attacks against his father and brother, accusing the latter of physically attacking him amid their Megxit negotiations. She also didn't live to see his legal battle against the UK government over the removal of his publicly funded police protection — an issue which, Harry says, has alienated his father for good. Over the past year, both Kate Middleton and King Charles have fought respective cancer battles — yet even poor health hasn't helped to bridge the divide between the royal family and the estranged Sussexes. As things stand, Harry and Meghan have fully severed every royal tie — though Meghan did recently refer to herself as HRH The Duchess of Sussex (despite previously promising the Queen they would not use their royal titles). In the wake of Sally's revelations, neither the Palace nor the Sussexes' team have responded. But her unearthed conversations with Lady Elizabeth, who was made a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order shortly before she died, came at a momentous time for Meghan — on the same day she launched her lifestyle brand's new rose wine. Whether she will be raising a toast this week — despite the fresh allegations stacked against her and Harry — remains to be seen.
