Royal baby: Where Meghan and Harry’s future may lie

While the UK has warmly embraced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s newborn baby son, the child’s time on home soil could be short-lived.

While England has warmly embraced Prince Harry and wife Meghan’s new arrival, the bub’s time in the UK could be short lived.

Despite moving into to Frogmore Cottage, Windsor, in the lead up to the birth of their son — leaving behind Kensington Palace where Prince William and Kate live with their three children — speculation is growing the family will soon travel extensively.

The Times reported last month that plans were afoot for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to live in Africa for several months each year, possibly as soon as 2020 to continue their charity works.

Africa is close to the couple’s hearts with Prince Harry taking his gap year in Lesotho in 2004 and the pair visiting Botswana for Meghan’s birthday in 2017.

Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, visited the continent in 1997 where she met Nelson Mandela months before she died in a car crash.

Meghan’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jnr, proposed another theory to The Sunday Express that the growing family would settle down in the United States.

Markle Jnr said he believed if Harry could be convinced, they may move to Meghan’s home-state, California.

“It is really easy to fall in love with the California lifestyle; you have the beach as your backyard — who would not like that?” he said.

“Once you grow up as a child on the beach, you are always going to go back to it, and Meghan was brought up in this environment. She will always be a Hollywood southern Californian at heart.”
