When Meghan Markle used to call Hollywood her home, she lived in at least five different houses in Los Angeles. One of these houses has recently been put up for sale for almost $1.8 million, and she used to share this with her ex-husband Trevor Engelson.
The said house is a colonial two-story property located in Hancock Park. Built in the 1920s, it features hardwood floors and a spacious open environment complete with an outdoor dining area and a living room fireplace, according to the listing on Homes.
Although the four-bedroom three-bathroom living space can't be compared to Frogmore Cottage, which is the current duchess home, the Los Angeles house still looks pretty nice and opulent. It's also situated in a quiet and private neighborhood.
The New York Observer reported that before meeting Prince Harry, the former star of Suits rented this house with her ex. This home was her base in between her work in Toronto for her TV show and her personal life in Los Angeles.
It's unclear how long she lived in this house, though. The former actress was married to Engleson from 2011 to 2013 although they have been together since 2004.
Meanwhile, Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry are said to be looking into buying their second house apart from Frogmore. According to The Sun, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex want to invest in a Los Angeles property.
"Ultimately, she is a California girl and can breathe easier there. Hollywood is in her DNA, and I think it is where she has always wanted to keep a solid footing," the source told the news outlet.
The Sun also reported that the Queen is keen on gifting her grandson and his wife a holiday home in Cotswold so that the duchess could be nearer her friends. During their engagement in 2017, the couple used to rent a property in the area before they asked to move in Kensington and then at the Windsor estate once they got married.
Prince Harry's brother, Prince William, and his wife, Duchess Kate Middleton, has the Anmer Hall in Norfolk when they need to live in seclusion for a few weeks. Royal expert Phil Dampier said, however, that this will not happen right away, but it should be part of the Queen's long-term plans. The Sussex couple doesn't have their retreat right now, but that might change once the Queen finalizes how her property should be divided eventually.
