\"\"International Desk: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's decision to move to Los Angeles was motivated by a desire to pay less tax, a source has alleged.<\/p>\n

Last night it was reported that the Duke and Duchess had moved from their Vancouver home to the US.<\/p>\n

Because Meghan is an American citizen, she would have to pay tax on her worldwide income to the US Government and her Canadian income to that country's authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitially Harry and Meghan wanted to be based in a Commonwealth country – Canada – and earn their own money while still performing some royal duties,” a source told The Sun.
\n\u201cBut their plan very quickly fell apart.”<\/p>\n

They added: “Then the Canadian government made it clear they would not contribute to their security costs so it made much more sense to live in Hollywood and only pay US tax.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being a US citizen earning money abroad, Meghan would have had to disclose part of her income to the US internal Revenue Service.

\nAlong with their 10-month-old baby Archie, the royal couple have been hunkering down in their new home.
\nAlthough it is unknown where exactly they're staying, it is believed they have been eyeing up a \u00a35.4million Malibu property.
\nPetra Manor has five-bedroom property and boasts a tennis court, wine cellar, swimming pool and impressive grounds.<\/p>\n

The pair have opened up about how they, along with a fair chunk of the rest of the world, are finding hard to adjust to life indoors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
