Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly searching for a new home in the UK as they begin their next chapter across the pond with their two children.<\/p>\n
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew into Britain on a private jet with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, on August 26. The family left behind their California life after spending their finals days in Montecito with close friends and family.<\/p>\n
The couple had called Montecito home since 2020 after they purchased their California mansion for $14.65 million (AUD $20.5 million) and decided to build a private life there following their shock exit from the royal family.<\/p>\n
