The Duke of Sussex is reportedly keen on relocating to New York as he “feels at home” in the big city but it seems Meghan Markle has other plans as she doesn’t want to leave California.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a trip to NYC earlier this month to host the Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit for World Mental Health Day on October 10.

It seems that the 39-year-old prince was such a huge fan of the city that he has been left wanting more after a source claims he would like to live there permanently after enjoying “the fast pace, the culture, the social scene.”

They added that Harry is homesick and “desperately misses London” where he grew up with the Royal Family and found it comforting to be in a big city, the Mirror reports.

The source also said it would be easier for him to return home for a long weekend in the UK if he lived in New York with a flight from NYC to London taking eight hours while a flight from Los Angeles takes 10.5 hours.

While Harry is up for the big move, Meghan on the other hand does not seem as keen.

The source claims she is “unconvinced” by Harry’s argument that being in NYC will help him to commute.

They added: “Meghan’s so happy to finally be back in California – she can’t imagine leaving. For her, it’s Hollywood all the way right now. It would make zero sense to move.”

Just three months ago, rumours were circling that the Sussexes’ were thinking about moving to Meghan’s childhood home of Malibu beach.

The couple were reportedly looking into the possibility of moving to the coast on the outskirts of central Los Angeles where many of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers stay.

The duke was said to be “excited” about the move to Malibu, according to the source, but has now changed his mind.

Despite this, they said Meghan is “committed” to being in LA as it will be easier for them to commute for work.

The source continued on to say that the Sussexes will be needing to spend even more time in LA once their projects pick up.

Speaking to Heat magazine, the source added: “She’s all about making face-to-face contact and building meaningful relationships, so they can be power players in the way Harry says he wants.”

However, they’ve claimed that Meghan has agreed to reach a compromise with the royal as they explained: “She says maybe once they’ve made a success of things in Hollywood, they can look at getting a place in New York.”
