Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are currently based in California. However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are allegedly planning to move to New York City as she pursues her goal to be like superstar Angelina Jolie and human defense lawyer Amal Clooney.
Meghan Markle Allegedly Wants To Be Like Angelina Jolie And Amal Clooney
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced in January 2020 that they were stepping back from their royal duties. They stayed in Canada for a few weeks before settling for good in California. However, an unnamed source told Heat World that they plan to move to New York City because they "failed" to find a place within California's celeb circles after getting "frozen out of Hollywood."
The Sussexes are allegedly looking to settle in the Big Apple by this summer. They are eyeing Midtown Manhattan due to their alleged political and philanthropical goals. Also, they will find many opportunities there to achieve their dreams.
"They’re both keen to get more involved, as well as attending all the big conferences and doing a ton of power-schmoozing on the east coast. Meghan sees herself as the next Angelina Jolie or Amal Clooney," per The News. "Amal started her legal career in New York, while Angelina was a fixture in the city as she established herself as a Goodwill Ambassador. So, this – on top of the obvious social benefits and tax breaks in New York – makes moving there a no-brainer."
The source added, "Plus, it’s a short hop to Washington DC, which is great for Meghan as she broadens her interest in politics."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to keep their $14-million mansion in Montecito for occasional visits. Their move to New York is reportedly a "chance" for them to "start again socially."
"Meghan and Harry love the cut and thrust of Manhattan. They always come back from there buzzing off the energy and raving about how great the vibe is – especially Harry, who finds it a lot like London," the source continued.
Meghan Markle Has Plans To Run For President?
There are rumors that Meghan Markle is planning to join the political arena and run for president in the future. Her estranged father, Thomas Markle, addressed the speculations about her political ambitions in a previous interview with GB News in August 2021.
"From beginning to end, I think it’s a complete joke," Thomas told the host. "I don't think she has any ambition to be a mayor. I don’t think she has any ambition to be a governor or president. I don't think that's in her mind at all."
"If someone's saying that that might be cute, but, you know, Oprah [Winfrey] would push her out of the way anyway, if that came up."
The speculations about Markle possibly running for the highest office have been around for years. Omid Scobie, co-author of her biography Finding Freedom, told a documentary that the former actress "has her eyes set on the U.S. presidency," per Vanity Fair.
"Meghan is the embodiment of the American dream. One day we may see Meghan become president," Scobie said.
An unnamed source claiming to be Markle's close friend added that she was "seriously considering running for president." Also, it was allegedly one of the reasons Markle was so keen to keep her American citizenship, so she has the option to go into politics.
