Harry and Meghan 'plan to sell' £11million California compound after 3 years

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning to move again.

The royal duo have since been settled in Montecito, California after leaving the Firm back in 2020. At their Californian mansion, they've raised their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

It was previously reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were house hunting in Malibu and were eyeing up a $8million (£6.3million) plot of land back in September, but they've "switched their intentions [and plan] to move to LA." Sources have claimed that Harry and Meghan have "shown interest in a number of various LA neighbourhoods."

According to TMZ's insiders, privacy and community are Meghan and Harry's main priorities, which is one of the reasons they lost interest in that Malibu mansion. They said: "The property became a magnet for cameras and news coverage after the story broke about Meghan and Harry viewing an estate off Pacific Coast Highway in September."

The risk to their privacy and safety became a concern and turned them off the potential property, but in LA the couple were about to go unnoticed. Harry and Meghan were able to initially settle in California after movie producer Tyler Perry allowed the Sussexes to stay in his California mansion while they found their own place to stay.

In their six-part Netflix docu-series Harry & Meghan, Tyler spoke out about why he offered the couple his house months after they stepped down from royal duties. Meghan revealed how she reached out to the movie producer she had never met in person - after he sent her a note - and he told her she and Harry could stay at his house.

In the final episode of that series, Tyler said that he was not a "royal watcher" but that he "saw something about her father". The documentary refers to Meghan's dad Thomas Markle staging paparazzi pictures in the run-up to the royal wedding, which he apologised for a month later.

"I found it to be hurtful if he were my father," Tyler said in the documentary. "And I couldn't even imagine this woman finding the man that she loved, the man of her dreams, and him being a prince, and then to walk into all of that madness and need the security of family and then have your father do some horrible things."
