While it came as a shock that the couple had left their seemingly beloved Canada, could their Cali move have always been on the cards?
Meghan is from California after all and she is a self-confessed ‘Cali girl’.
Now an unearthed clip shows not just Meghan, but Harry also gushing over California a year before their big move.
The couple visited the Empire Fighting Chance club in Bristol in February last year.
They were filmed speaking to one of the members of the club, who had an American accent.
Meghan asked him where he was from to which he responded California.
She is seen beaming as she responds: ‘Nice!’
He added: ‘That’s the best one.’
Meghan and Prince Harry could be seen nodding and grinning as Harry responded: ‘It’s the best.’
After officially stepping down as senior members of the royal family, they set up base in Canada.
They are now believed to be in lockdown in the Hollywood area with ten-month-old baby Archie.
Reports say that the couple wants to be close to Meghan’s mother, Doria as well as her friends.
The couple have ended their UK foundation and shut their Buckingham Palace office. It’s believed they will launch a brand new non-profit foundation in the coming months.
The Sussexes say the organisation will support their ‘global charitable, campaign and philanthropic work’.
