  • Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan bought a new family home in Santa Barbara, California, last month, a Sussex spokesperson confirmed.

  • "They have settled into the quiet privacy of their community since their arrival and hope that this will be respected for their neighbours, as well as for them as a family," the rep said, confirming the royal couple's move.

According to a spokesperson for the royal couple, per People, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan bought a new home last month in Santa Barbara, California, a beach town about 100 miles north of Los Angeles.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their family home in July of this year," shared the couple's spokesperson. "They have settled into the quiet privacy of their community since their arrival and hope that this will be respected for their neighbours, as well as for them as a family."

The Sussexes' Santa Barbara move follows the couple's two major relocations earlier this year. After announcing their decision to step away from the royal family back in January, Harry, Meghan, and their young son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, spent time in a remote part of Vancouver Island, Canada, before heading to Meghan's home town of Los Angeles. People reported that the pair temporarily stayed in Tyler Perry's Beverly Hills mansion while they searched for their new family residence.

Harry and Meghan's move also allows the couple to be closer to family friend Oprah Winfrey, who owns multiple properties in the surrounding area, People pointed out. Actor Rob Lowe and TV host Ellen DeGeneres also live in the Sussexes' new neighbourhood.

Since moving to the West Coast and adjusting to life abroad, the Sussexes have remained dedicated to their philanthropy work. Though the couple have kept a low public profile due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, they have made time to meet with Black resistance organisations, make virtual graduation addresses, and volunteer with local charities.
