Meghan Markle and Prince Harry live in a “protected area” and feel “settled in the US” following a Prince Archie update, according to a royal commentator.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will likely remain in California, despite potential deportation threats from Donald Trump following the election, according to the royal expert.


Meghan and Harry are not happy with the election result but “it is not enough for them to uproot their family and move elsewhere”, according to former royal correspondent Jenny Bond.

“I don’t think they have any plans to move from California,” said Bond.

It follows reports that Prince Archie has started a new school in the States.

“They seem to love their life there…Sun, sea and freedom have a lot to offer,” Bond added.

“Meghan loves being close to her mother, who plays a big part in their lives.

“The children are settled and Harry has said he now regards the United States as home, and when he does come back to the UK he spends the shortest possible amount of time here before flying off again.”

Prince Harry is expected to return to the UK in January for his trial against News Group Newspapers (NGN) over the alleged misuse of private information, infringement of copyright and breach of the Data Protection Act 2018.

The couple, who moved to California after announcing they would step down as senior working royals in January 2020, suffered a major blow as one of their close friends and reported neighbour, Ellen DeGeneres, left the US following the election.

“I’m sure they’ll miss Ellen…but maybe they will stay with her if they ever come visiting,” Bond added.

“But that’s not going to happen while Harry remains in litigation over security.”

The former BBC correspondent told the OK!: “I don’t foresee any move from California…except to holiday in their Portugal home.”

“The Sussexes are living in a very liberal, Democratic part of the United States – and in one of the most expensive and protected areas of California.

“So I think they can live a life pretty cocooned from Trumpite America.

“They will obviously not be happy with the result of the election, but I doubt if it is enough for them to uproot their family and move elsewhere.”
