Meghan Markle and Prince Harry feel at home at last.
After returning earlier this year as senior members of the British Royal Family, the couple first went to Canada and then spent several months in the American actress ‘Native Los Angeles’. Most recently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bought her first home in Santa Barbara, Calif.
A Royal Source told People magazine in this week’s issue that the move marks a “pivotal moment” for the 39-year-old former ‘Suits’ star, the 35-year-old British prince and her 1-year-old son, Archie .
‘This is her permanent home,’ the insider told the famed magazine. ‘Since Archie arrived, everything has been so restless, and many things have been up in the air. It has not been necessary, necessary. For the first time in a long time, they have a clear focus. ”

The source notes that Santa Barbara would be the perfect place to raise her firstborn and give him a sense of normalcy.
“They both love California, and Santa Barbara has a magic to it – the mountains, oceans, vineyards, flowers, gardens,” the source said. “It’s so beautiful.”
The family is close to Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.
“Archie is really happy, and he has some room to run free,” the insider explained. ‘The house came with a game structure that he will not climb in no time. They are excited to be there and become part of the community. It is a very happy time for her as a family. ”
Earlier this month, a representative for the couple confirmed to Fox News that they were buying a house in the coastal town.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their family home in July of this year,” a spokesman said. “They have established themselves in the quiet privacy of their community since their arrival and hope this will be respected for their neighbors, as well as for them as a family.”

In January, the couple announced that they would take a ‘step back’ as senior members of the royal family and instead work independently, dividing their time between the United Kingdom and North America.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said their decision came after many months of reflection and internal talks.
“We have chosen to make a transition this year by embarking on a progressive new role within this institution,” the duo shared on Instagram at the time. ‘We intend to step back as’ senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while fully supporting Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, especially in recent years, that we feel ready to make this adjustment.
“We now intend to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honor our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages,” the couple continued in the post. “This geographical balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition in which he was born, as well as give our family the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”
