Home is where the heart is for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
The couple may be moving their homestead from Montecito, California, to the sunny shores of Malibu, an insider recently claimed to UK newspaper The Daily Express.
Markle, 41, and Harry, 38, have been “secretly” looking at houses in the beach city so they can be closer to Los Angeles, the outlet reported.
“Harry and Meghan are reviewing their living options with Malibu being a place of interest,” the insider noted.
“They have secretly visited the area a couple of times and have been out and about, looking at what’s there.”
Their plans, however, are still up in the air.
“It is uncertain if they will sell Montecito or just add a Malibu spot to buy. The move consideration comes as Meghan is shifting gears and focus back to Hollywood with WME,” the source said, adding that the move is a “smart” one due to the number of celebrities who also live in Malibu.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have lived in their nine-bedroom, $14 million mansion in Montecito since 2020 after being exiled from the royal family earlier that year, The New York Post reports.
Reps for Harry and Meghan declined to comment, but sources close to the couple told The Post they’re staying put in their current home.
The former actor has also allegedly been eyeing a return to Hollywood in recent months, and this could possibly be the reason for purchasing a new Tinseltown abode.
She also signed with a new talent agency, William Morris Endeavor, earlier this year to help build her global enterprise.
Christopher Andersen, author of The King told Fox News Digital in May that Markle’s new contract is a step to becoming a “power player” in the world of glitz, glamour and the silver screen.
“If Meghan doesn’t end up hosting a daytime syndicated talk show, I’ll be surprised,” Mr Andersen explained to the publication.
He added: “She certainly seems well-suited to that role in particular, and I can easily see her pursuing a career path similar to Oprah [Winfrey]’s in the media: a show, a magazine, producing, directing — the works.” “She still has a sizeable chunk of the viewing public in her corner,” the writer said.
The pair has released a plethora of projects, such as their Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan and their Archetypes podcast — which has not been renewed for season two after their $30 million deal with Spotify fell through.
However, despite the duo’s array of content, their media empire seems to be “crumbling,” according to royal expert Angela Levin.
She claimed that Harry and Markle’s future projects will crash and burn, telling the Sun recently that their “value isn’t as high as it once was.” “People are fed up with them now,” the Harry: A Biography of a Prince author said, adding that their forthcoming content plans will be “disastrous.”
