The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are just a couple of short weeks away from the end of their official royal duties on 31 March, and Meghan has already returned to Canada now their final engagements are over. Prince Harry and Meghan have been based on Vancouver Island for the last few months and it was anticipated that they would look for a second home there, but recent reports suggest that they may invest in a property in Malibu instead.
The Californian city would be an ideal base for the royal couple; not only would it allow Harry, Meghan and their baby son Archie to spend more time with Meghan's mum Doria Ragland, but it is also less than an hour's drive away from Hollywood, home to several film and TV powerhouses who the couple may wish to work with now they are striving to become financially independent.
A source tells HELLO!: "A real estate agent has been showing Meghan and Harry around several different houses in the city recently. One of them, which is owned by a Baywatch actor, was in Malibu and it has Caitlyn Jenner and Robert Downey Jr as neighbours."
It has been reported that Harry and Meghan have eyed up Kylie Jenner's former rental home, Petra Manor, an eight-bedroom residence that has an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, indoor cinema and dance studio. But we've also rounded up some other incredible properties that are currently on the market that would be fit for the royals…
Kylie's former home would be ideal for the Sussexes, with lots of amenities including a bar, wine cellar, dance studio, tennis court and swimming pool.
