It’s crunch time for Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. The pair are having to make some big decisions about their future and where they will spend it. And if they want to continue to forge the ideal lifestyle for their family in the US, that could mean leaving their dream home.
Harry, 38, and Meghan, 42, are looking at selling their Montecito mansion and moving to the upmarket beach community of Malibu, because it’s closer to work opportunities in Los Angeles. Following the end of their deal with Spotify, the couple are re-evaluating ways of earning an income, and living nearer to LA could be a deal breaker, says a source.
Meghan is eyeing up a future as a producer and content creator, and offers have been pouring in for her since she signed with the prestigious WME Talent Agency earlier this year. If she takes on any of them, it would make sense to be closer to the action in LA.
Their nine-bedroom, $23-million home has been a haven for the Sussexes for the last couple of years, but it can take as long as three hours to get to Hollywood from Montecito, near Santa Barbara, in peak-hour traffic. That not only makes for a long day, but also extra time away from the couple’s children, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.
Meghan knows Malibu well, given she lived nearby as a child, and she and Harry see it as “a place of interest” now they are “reviewing their living options”, says the insider.
