Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly exploring real estate options in Malibu, California, signaling yet another potential move for the globe-trotting couple. This speculation arises amidst the backdrop of their recent eviction from Frogmore Cottage and Harry's expressed desire to secure a property in the UK.
Sources close to the couple suggest that their Malibu interest, originally Meghan's idea, has seen fluctuating enthusiasm from Harry. Rumors hint at a possible pivot towards a residence in New York, adding to the couple's complex relocation narrative. "Harry was initially excited about the Malibu move but is now considering a place in New York. It's almost like he's trying to sabotage the California plan for reasons unknown," revealed an insider.
In the UK, the loss of Frogmore Cottage has prompted discussions about acquiring a London-based property. "There's a clear divide in their preferences, but a London property is definitely on the agenda, likely to be a purchase rather than a palace apartment," another source disclosed.
The Sussexes' American journey began at Tyler Perry's Beverly Hills mansion, a haven during their transition from royal life. Recounting this period, Perry shared on Kelly Ripa's "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast, "They needed a safe place... It was great having them, ensuring their privacy and seeing them genuinely happy."
Since then, the couple has settled in Montecito, California, neighboring celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. Despite this seemingly idyllic setup, their latest house-hunting escapades in Malibu indicate a desire for a change.
Interestingly, amidst these real estate ventures, there are murmurs of Meghan contemplating a return to acting and possibly reviving her lifestyle brand, The Tig. A source told Life and Style magazine, "Meghan is weighing her options in Hollywood. With several offers on the table, she's keen to rediscover her acting roots. Harry is fully supportive of her career aspirations."
While the couple has not yet toured any specific properties in Los Angeles, they are reportedly open to various neighborhoods, seeking the right balance of privacy and community.
This new chapter in their real estate journey comes after a series of high-profile public appearances, fueling speculations about their future plans and lifestyle choices.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex navigate these potential moves, the world watches with anticipation, awaiting their next step in balancing their public personas with their quest for a private sanctuary. The question remains: will Malibu be their next home, or will another location capture their hearts?
