Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Reportedly Had an “Agenda” to Be International Royals From Day One
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly had an “agenda” to be roving royals.
The couple told friends early in their courtship they didn’t plan to stay in one place.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are currently living in Los Angeles after stepping down from senior royal duties, which isn’t just a huge deal due to the drama of it all. It’s downright historic. Meghan and Harry’s decision to “split” from the royal establishment and forge their own path (with the blessing of Queen Elizabeth, FYI!) is unprecedented, but royal reporter Katie Nicholl says it was always part of their plan.
“The speed at which the Sussexes have turned their lives around has surprised everybody,” Nicholl told Australian outlet 9Honey. “I don't think it’s a huge surprise they moved overseas—that was inevitable. I think the speed at which it’s happened has surprised people.”
She continued, “They had an agenda from the outset to be international royals,” and “They didn’t want to just be stuck in one place. Part of their vision is to be making a difference on the world stage and that entails being international.”
Apparently, the Duke and Duchess told a friend they didn’t want to live in one place—and considering they’ve posted up in the UK, Canada, and L.A. over the past year, it looks like things are going according to plan.
“I was told from a very early stage in their courtship, they had told a friend of Harry’s that Meghan met quite early on that they wanted to be international roving royals and that was going to be their focus,” Nicholl explained. “So I think this idea that they were going to move away and work overseas was always on the cards but as I say, the speed at which it’s happened has definitely been surprising...They’ve broken away from the royal family. They’ve moved home twice—first to Canada then to California and all of this before Archie actually turned 1.”
Unclear if Meghan and Harry will make Los Angeles their permanent home, but they’re obviously passionate about helping people on a global level, so don’t be surprised if they make moves again sometime in the near future.
