Meghan Markle’s Future: Will a Mega Star Influence Her Departure from the US?
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry faced challenges in their relationship with the royal family, leading them to step down as senior royals in January 2020 and move to the United States. Their life in the U.S. has been difficult, especially after Donald Trump criticized Harry following the release of his memoir, “Spare,” where Harry discussed his past drug use.
Recent reports suggest that Meghan may consider leaving the U.S. after being upset by Trump’s election victory on November 5. Ellen DeGeneres, a close friend of Meghan, is also contemplating a move to the Cotswolds due to the election results.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex currently live in California with their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. Trump, who is back in the White House, has been critical of Harry and Meghan, particularly regarding their treatment of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Exclusive Interview: Royal Expert Charlotte Griffiths on the Sussexes’ Struggles Post-Move
News Directory 3: Thank you for joining us, Charlotte. With the recent political landscape shifting and Donald Trump’s return to the White House, what do you believe are the implications for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?
Charlotte Griffiths: Thank you for having me. The dynamics between the Sussexes and the royal family have already been tense. Their decision to step back as senior royals in January 2020 was largely influenced by the challenges they faced. Now, with Trump back in power, I anticipate that Meghan may feel increasingly uncomfortable living in the U.S.
News Directory 3: Can you elaborate on why you think this discomfort might influence their living situation?
Charlotte Griffiths: Absolutely. Meghan has been very vocal about her feelings towards Trump, labeling him a misogynist on multiple occasions. His criticisms of Harry—especially following the release of “Spare,” where Harry revealed personal struggles including past drug use—have put further strain on their public image. It’s plausible that with Trump as president again, Meghan could contemplate relocating, possibly back to the U.K.
News Directory 3: There are reports suggesting that Meghan might even be considering a move to the Cotswolds, partly due to the political climate and Trump’s election. What do you think could drive her to make such a decision?
Charlotte Griffiths: Meghan values her well-being and that of her family. The political environment in the U.S. can feel hostile for her, especially given what she perceives as Trump’s misogynistic behavior. If she feels that living in America poses more challenges than advantages—especially with a political figure she openly dislikes in power—it’s understandable that she might seek solace in a more familiar environment like the U.K., particularly the quieter Cotswolds.
News Directory 3: Ellen DeGeneres’s potential move there too adds another layer. How do you see this dynamic playing out?
Charlotte Griffiths: Ellen’s friendship with Meghan is significant. If they both find themselves in the U.K., it could provide a support system for Meghan as she navigates these turbulent waters. Ellen has always been an advocate for Meghan and could play a crucial role in helping her adjust and feel supported, should they both relocate.
News Directory 3: with Harry and Meghan living in California with their children, what do you anticipate will be their strategy moving forward if they choose to stay in the U.S.?
Charlotte Griffiths: If they decide to stay, they will likely focus on their charitable initiatives and media ventures while managing their public image carefully. However, they will also need to be strategic about their public engagements, as controversies continue to surround them, particularly with criticism from figures like Trump. Maintaining a low profile and engaging in more positive community interactions could be key.
News Directory 3: Thank you, Charlotte, for sharing your insights into the current situation surrounding the Sussexes.
Charlotte Griffiths: My pleasure. It will be interesting to see how everything unfolds in the coming months.
Charlotte Griffiths, a royal expert, said, “Meghan will be really upset to live in America with Trump as President.” She noted that Meghan has expressed strong dislike for Trump, calling him a misogynist on television. This situation may lead Meghan to seek a new home outside of America.
