The Gist

  • While living in California, Meghan Markle had one condition for visits to the U.K.

  • She requested that she and Prince Harry stay in "a place of their own" instead of lodging with any royal family members.

  • The couple has since moved their family into a private residence in the English countryside for the foreseeable future.

After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry surprised royal fans by moving back to the U.K. in August, speculation turned to where the family would live. Their choice to live in a private residence unaffiliated with the royals may be connected to a "major condition" Meghan had about visiting the U.K., according to a royal expert.
