After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex found solace in Montecito following their departure from the royal family in the UK, they had supposedly set their sights on a new destination to realize their aspirations. An $18 million Malibu residence seemed to be in their sights, but now, their plans appear to be in a state of suspension.
The royal couple is making headlines with their house-hunting mission, contemplating an $8 million plot of land in a Californian city. Their ambitious plan includes constructing a lavish 10,000 square foot mansion, a project estimated at a staggering $10 million.
However, it seems that Prince Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III, isn't entirely onboard with this venture. Sources claim that he's been attempting to "sabotage" these plans.
In a surprising twist, Meghan and Harry recently embarked on a journey to the bustling streets of New York City. It's now reported that the Duke of Sussex is showing a keen interest in relocating to the Big Apple, citing his fondness for the city's fast pace, cultural richness, and vibrant social scene.
Moreover, there's a practical aspect to this potential move. Harry envisions that residing in New York would make it easier for him to visit his family in London. An insider shared insights, stating, "Harry was all gung-ho for the Malibu move a few months ago. Yes, it was Meghan's idea, but he was excited about it. It feels odd that now he wants out of that Californian life and is suggesting they buy a place in New York instead. It's almost like he's trying to sabotage things because it makes zero logical sense," as reported by Heat magazine.
Meghan, on the other hand, still hopes to stay in proximity to Los Angeles for work opportunities. She has been shuttling to LA for meetings "multiple times a week" and anticipates her workload increasing as their projects move into production.
Face-to-face interactions are crucial for Meghan as she strives to build "meaningful" relationships, which is undoubtedly facilitated by their close proximity to Hollywood. However, she also empathizes with Harry's longing to reconnect with his family and friends.
A separate source offers further insight into Prince Harry's stance, asserting, "Harry won't say yes to Meghan all the time as he has changed his mind and will be focusing on his charity works in the future."
The couple's shifting plans continue to capture the public's attention, leaving many eager to see where their next chapter will take them.
