They sent shock waves across the nation when they announced their move to Canada back in January. Then, just two months later, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dropped another bombshell when they left Canada and moved to LA.
But while their ‘Hollywood’ move has raised eyebrows for the wrong reasons, the couple are actually thought to be honouring Harry’s late mother Princess Diana’s final wishes before her tragic death in 1997.
So are Harry and Meghan hungry for the glamorous Hollywood lifestyle, or are they just desperate for the quiet life that Diana once-coveted?

Harry and Meghan have rented a luxury mansion in Malibu and, while this could seem like an extravagant decision, one reason they may have chosen to settle there is as a tribute to Diana.
Former royal butler Paul Burrell has claimed that the Princess of Wales planned to move sons William and Harry to Malibu with her and her then-boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, to escape the pressures of life as a former royal, before the couple tragically died in a car crash in Paris.
Paul revealed, ‘[Diana] said, “This is our new life, just won’t it be great, think of the lifestyle [for] the boys… Nobody’s judgemental here in America, you don’t have the class system, you don’t have the establishment”.’
