Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Reportedly Moved Out of L.A. for This Reason
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have not stood still since announcing their royal exit at the end of January. After a brief stay in Canada, the couple popped back to London for their final royal engagements before setting up shop in Tyler Perry’s Los Angeles Home.
On August 11, however, it was confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their own place in the Santa Barbara, California, area. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their family home in July of this year,” a rep for Markle and Harry told People. “They have settled into the quiet privacy of their community since their arrival and hope that this will be respected for their neighbors, as well as for them as a family.”
But why not find another spot in L.A.? Well, according to a source speaking to Us Weekly, Prince Harry “absolutely hated it.”
“Meghan visited Montecito in her teens and fell in love with the picturesque scenery and stunning architecture,” the source explained. “Moving there was always an option, but to begin with, she and Harry wanted to give Los Angeles a shot. Unfortunately, Harry absolutely hated it—the timing was so wrong amid the [coronavirus] pandemic and they lacked privacy.”

Last month the Sussexes’ attorney filed a complaint with the State of California after discovering a photographer had been “shopping photographs” of their son Archie, according to documents obtained by E! News.
Luckily, their new home will still be a convenient spot for the couple to work on their foundation and Meghan Markle’s possible Hollywood ambitions. “An added bonus is that Montecito is only just over an hour’s drive from L.A. which is where a majority of their work is based, yet far enough away to escape the crowds, paparazzi, and tourism in Hollywood,” the source told Us Weekly.
Hopefully, this time Prince Harry and Co. will get to enjoy their new family home.
