Is Meghan Markle already homesick for California? A report claims Meghan wants regular trips back to the United States during the Sussex family’s extended stay in Britain and hopes to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in California. Harry, however, reportedly wants the family to remain in Britain until at least the spring, potentially creating some difficult decisions over where Archie and Lilibet will spend the holidays. The couple are also reportedly keeping their Montecito estate rather than selling or renting it.At the same time, another report claims Prince Harry’s calls to King Charles are not being put through, with an unnamed source alleging that the King and Prince William are frustrated by Harry’s continuing battle over security.Meghan’s attempt to rebuild her public profile in Britain is also under scrutiny. PR specialist Nick Ede, who says he was once a friend of Meghan’s, argues that public perceptions will be her biggest obstacle and says the two eventually went their separate ways. Another report claims Meghan has been leaning on Ellen DeGeneres as she adjusts to life in Britain, while Radar Online says Meghan is considering expanding her lifestyle interests into a British yoga and wellness business.Lauren Silverman, Simon Cowell’s wife, has also revealed that she spoke with Meghan about charity work and protecting children online, although no joint project has been announced.And could Meghan and Harry’s wedding tiara controversy be heading for the big screen? A film about Queen Elizabeth’s longtime dresser Angela Kelly is reportedly in development, potentially reviving Harry’s account of the dispute over Meghan’s wedding tiara. One commentator claims there may be another incident from that period the Sussexes would rather not see dramatized.Plus, tabloid sources claim Harry is aggressively pursuing new opportunities for both himself and Meghan while the couple increasingly “divide and conquer” professionally.Questions this episode answers: Is Meghan Markle homesick for California?
