The Duke and Duchess of Sussex \u2014 who quit frontline British royal duties this year \u2014 were previously living in Meghan\u2019s hometown Los Angeles, where they became quickly embroiled in a legal battle with paparazzi over photos taken of their son Archie.<\/p>\n
The pair \u201cmoved into their family home in July of this year\u201d and have \u201csettled into the quiet privacy of their community,\u201d a spokesperson said in a statement to AFP, without confirming the new location.<\/p>\n
They \u201chope that this will be respected for their neighbors, as well as for them as a family,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
According to People and Page Six, their new house is in Santa Barbara, a wealthy community 100 miles up the coast from Los Angeles which is also home to Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is where they want to bring Archie up, where they hope he can have as normal a life as possible,\u201d an anonymous source told Page Six.<\/p>\n
The source added: \u201cHarry and Meghan never intended to make Los Angeles their home.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pair filed a lawsuit last month in Los Angeles against paparazzi whom they accuse of taking pictures of their son without permission.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe couple recently learned that someone is shopping photographs of their 14-month-old son, Archie, falsely claiming to have taken them on a \u2018recent\u2019 public outing \u2018in Malibu,'\u201d the complaint, filed for invasion of privacy, said.<\/p>\n
The snapshots were actually taken during \u201cactivities in the backyard of the residence, unbeknownst\u201d to the couple, it said.<\/p>\n
The couple were reportedly living at the Los Angeles home of media tycoon Tyler Perry at the time.<\/p>\n
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to California via Canada after announcing in January that they intended to quit royal life and \u201cwork to become financially independent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Markle and Harry have spoken of their desire to \u201cto do something of meaning, to do something that matters,\u201d in California, where they plan to launch a wide-ranging non-profit organization named Archewell.<\/p>\n
In April, they worked with a charity to hand out meals to chronically ill people in Los Angeles during the coronavirus lockdown.<\/p>\n
The couple are \u201cintent on being of service\u201d and seeing their new home \u201cthrough the lens of philanthropy,\u201d Richard Ayoub, the charity\u2019s CEO, told AFP at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
