AThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex have put their Malibu move on hold as they set their sights on living in Beverly Hills\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Meghan are butting heads over where to buy their next home<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
They\u2019re on the lookout for a brand new family home, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are at loggerheads over where to live and Meghan\u2019s continual indecisiveness is driving Harry up the wall.
Last month, it was reported the pair could leave their luxurious \u00a312.5mil estate in Montecito, California and head to Malibu to start a new chapter with their two children, Prince Archie, four and Princess Lilibet, two.\u00a0
But Meghan, 42, has had a change of heart and sees their future in glamorous Hollywood instead, but her \u2018flip flopping\u2019 decision making is giving Harry, 38, a headache.
An insider says, \u201cThe Sussexes are having a terrible time finding a new home to move to as Meghan keeps changing her mind and Harry\u2019s head spins from all her flip flopping and foot stamping.\u201d
They add, \u201cThey were all set on Malibu, but Meghan\u2019s now saying she wants to be in the thick of it near Beverly Hills or West Hollywood. For Harry this isn\u2019t ideal, he would prefer to stay put in Montecito. But reluctantly agrees with Meghan that it\u2019s the right thing to move.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Suits star Meghan wants to reconnect with old Hollywood pals and make new ones in their new Beverly Hills pad\u00a0<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
After stepping down as senior royals in 2020, the couple purchased a nine-bedroom Tuscan-style property in Montecito with rose gardens, a two-bedroom guesthouse, a tennis court, a summer house, a pool, and a chicken coop which they named ‘Archie\u2019s Chicken Inn’. Earlier this year, Meghan revealed that their current home represents \u201ccalm and healing,\u201d and makes her \u201cfeel free.\u201d
But despite the serenity it offers, Meghan is ready to up sticks. At first, the couple were keen on buying a \u00a36.3mil plot of land off the Pacific Coast Highway, with a huge mansion, a pool, guard house, seating terrace and fire-pit.
However, due to safety concerns over the paparazzi being able to access the area, the couple’s house buying plans have been put on ice. Instead, Meghan has her sights set on viewing exclusive properties in Los Angeles, which are closer to Hollywood royalty. The pair previously lived in Beverly edge Estates when they stayed at Tyler Perry\u2019s mansion before moving to Montecito in June 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A mansion in Malibu like Cher’s former residence would be ideal<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
The insider explains, \u201cHarry was sold on Malibu as a compromise, but Meghan\u2019s not willing to live in a $10m or even a $15m property there \u2013 for her that would look common by comparison to the big cliffside mansions owned by Cher, Barbra Streisand and other local royalty. She\u2019s been back and forth dozens of times, giving their realtors the serious run-around and changing her mind constantly. With all the other stress in their life thrown in, it\u2019s all too much.\u201d
It\u2019s not surprising that Meghan has had a change of heart. The former Suits actress began her slow US relaunch in April, signing with William Morris Endeavor –\u00a0\u00a0the talent agency that has A Lister clients on their books, including Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson, tennis star Serena Williams, Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas and Jessica Alba. She also recently hinted at upcoming projects with Harry\u2019s production company, Archewell Productions, as she attended the Variety Power of Women event in Los Angeles.
\u201cWe have so many exciting things on the slate,\u201d she told members of the press. \u201cI can\u2019t wait until we can announce them, but I\u2019m just really proud of what we\u2019re creating.\u201d
But Harry wants to put the brakes on plans at the moment, especially after the recent hard-hitting headlines following the release of royal author\u2019s Omid Scobie\u2019s second bombshell book, Endgame three weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry is nervous of a move on top of all their other on-going drama<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
The Dutch version of the publication controversially named King Charles and the Princess of Wales, Kate as the subject of a letter\u00a0Meghan\u00a0wrote to the King following her claims that the family had “concerns” over the skin colour of her unborn son with Harry. It came after an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, in which the Sussexes alleged an unnamed member of the royal family spoke about their son\u2019s skin colour. Harry subsequently said there was no allegation of \u201cracism\u201d, but suggested there was possibly \u201cunconscious bias\u201d in the royal family.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said that they are “exploring all options” as to how best to tackle the situation, not ruling out legal action, and said it’s very much “business as usual” for King Charles.
Harry would like to take a step back from house-hunting for the rest of the year while things calm down, explains the insider.\u201cHarry is telling Meghan there\u2019s no sense in rushing this, he\u2019d like them to get through the holidays first, let the dust settle on their various dramas and wait until early 2024 to see where they\u2019re at and what they can reasonably afford. So many projects have either fizzled out or are still up in the air, so the last thing he wants is for them to over stretch themselves financially or commit to a certain part of town that might not be as convenient with what jobs they land.\u00a0
\u201cBut for Meghan this is just dithering, she\u2019s saying they have plenty of money to spend and it makes no sense to be stuck in the suburbs any longer than they can help it. She\u2019s convinced herself that a lot of their problems career wise and socially have stemmed from the fact they\u2019re effectively marooned over in Santa Barbara, as nice and serene as it is out there it\u2019s just not the right place right now as far as a base.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan is keen to spend time with power players like US film producer Janet Yang<\/p>\n

Former actress Meghan – who starred in Suits for seven series until 2017 – reconnect with old pals and make new ones as part of their big move.
\u201cMoving into 2024, she plans on being out and about a lot more, wining and dining at the private members clubs in Hollywood and rubbing shoulders with the power players \u2013 and driving all the way from Ventura County, often stuck in traffic jams and taking up to three hours to get to meetings, well it just doesn\u2019t work.\u00a0 She wishes she\u2019d trusted her gut when they were originally looking at homes in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills and other parts of West LA \u2013 but Harry argued in favour of Montecito and she wanted him to have a place that was more in keeping with what he\u2019s used to.
\u201cSo she went along with it, but now enough\u2019s enough and she wants to move out. The problem is, she can\u2019t seem to make up her mind where! And Harry\u2019s head is totally spinning with all this, he\u2019s not sure how they\u2019ll cope with a house move on top of all the other high stakes things they\u2019re trying to juggle. Not to mention the cost and logistics of it all, he\u2019s finding the whole process extremely difficult to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n
