The shift comes amid reports that she has trademarked her brand name in Australia ahead of an upcoming visit with Prince Harry.

Speaking on it, a source shared with a US-based entertainment site that Meghan feels that being based closer to Los Angeles would better support their professional ambitions and help launch the next chapter of their public and media projects.

“It’s not that she doesn’t love their home in Montecito, the grounds are stunning and she’s put a lot of work into decorating it to her taste, but she says it’s just way too removed for what she wants to accomplish,” they said.

“She hates feeling like she’s always on the outside of things and that’s just the reality of living so far removed from the action.

“Even Oprah, who’s always been such a big supporter, doesn't seem to have the time for them these days. It’s left Meghan feeling much more cut off than she expected and she’s ready to change things up.”
