And it seems the couple had a pretty unconventional approach when totally uprooting their lives. The Duchess of Sussex has lifted the lid on her and Harry\u2019s move to the US<\/a>.<\/p>\n Meghan Markle<\/a> candidly admitted at a summit in Washington DC yesterday that she did not have the \u201cbandwidth\u201d at that time to think about the \u201cbig picture\u201d after moving to sun-soaked California with Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n It was here that she revealed that she and the Duke of Sussex had \u201cno plan,\u201d despite making such a big move.<\/p>\n Meghan said at the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit: \u201cI think five years ago was a very different situation for all of us. Archie was so little and I had just gotten pregnant with Lili around that same time.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we were nesting. Nesting and healing. Also, I don\u2019t know if I had the bandwidth at that time to think about what the \u2018big picture\u2019 dream was. There was no plan.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was just \u2018let\u2019s just get through these next couple of years\u2019, create community, which was always so important to both of us in our new environment.\u201d<\/p>\n Meghan went on to explain how she and Harry did find their footing in business and how they going into producing through their deal with Netflix -\u201ccreating projects that we felt were compelling\u201d.<\/p>\n How Harry and Meghan built an empire<\/p>\n Discussing how this eventually panned out into a business, Meghan went on to explain: \u201cThen I said \u2018OK, I\u2019ve always loved being able to share, I\u2019ve always loved being able to cook and entertain\u2026 is there a business here?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think it was probably most people\u2019s assumption that if I was going to go into business it would be fashion and beauty.<\/p>\n \u201cBut those five years at home \u2013 I wasn\u2019t running around wearing beautiful outfits, I was probably in Birkenstocks and sweats like the rest of us, especially during Covid, or just barefoot at home, but I was making a lot of jam.<\/p>\n \u201cSo it ended up becoming the thing that really was my passion project that I turned into a business.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, we now know that things did work out for Harry and Meghan.<\/p>\n They share a sprawling mansion in Montecito and work on a slew of projects, shared and separate. From a book deal, to Archewell Productions, to Meghan\u2019s podcast ventures and more.<\/p>\n Most notably in recent months, Meghan Markle has been gracing our screens on Netflix with her cooking and entertaining series, With Love, Meghan.<\/p>\n She has also been wowing fans with a string of luxury products within her new lifestyle brand, As Ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n The couple recently renewed a huge multi-year deal with Netflix, following their $100M deal with the platform in 2020.<\/p>\n Meghan said in a statement upon their renewal in August: \u201cMy husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more: Meghan Markle opens up over \u2018complicated relationship\u2019 in Fortune interview<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Meghan](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BLU_A112005076-819x1024.jpg\")
