The average home value in Malibu stands at a staggering $6.5 million, and the area boasts a star-studded community. Megan is said to be reviving her presence on social media, having aligned herself with Tinseltown mega-agent Ari Emanuel from WME. Alongside her Archewell charity team and WME handlers, the Duchess aims to increase her visibility in Hollywood as she embarks on a rebranding journey. The former royal couple has been exploring properties in both Malibu and Woodland Hills, with insiders suggesting that Meghan hopes to recreate the idyllic lifestyle she experienced while growing up in Los Angeles. According to sources, they have now settled on a specific location, with the realtor sworn to secrecy.
Earlier this month, Meghan made her red carpet debut in Hollywood at Variety's "The Power of Women" celebration, teasing future projects as a producer. She expressed her desire to create meaningful content that evokes emotions and fosters a sense of community. While Meghan appears enthusiastic about her ventures, industry insiders speculate that her ongoing criticism of the royal family through her new book could create complications. Hollywood has its own set of values, carefully crafted for public consumption, and the ongoing feud between the Sussexes and the royal family may make it challenging for Meghan to find allies in the entertainment industry.
The release of the book is anticipated to further strain Prince Harry's relationship with his family, potentially isolating him from returning to Britain alone. There have been recent rumors about a possible divorce and Harry's return to the UK, which could prove disastrous for him. The book's content could further solidify his dependence on Meghan, leaving him forever separated from his family and reliant on her. Concerns have been raised about their willingness to exploit their friendships for financial gain through books and Netflix documentaries, as they have already released flattering pieces suggesting Megan's involvement in various projects with renowned brands.
Given the strained relationships and the negative portrayal of the Sussexes in the media, their choice of residence may ultimately be inconsequential. Malibu, despite having a wealthy population, is a tight-knit community where fitting in is important, and it seems unlikely that Meghan will find the adoration she desires in such an environment.
