Meghan Markle is not looking to follow in the footsteps of her close friend Ellen DeGeneres, as the comedian and his wife Portia de Rossi have reportedly made it across the pond to the UK.
Last week, it emerged that the comedian, 66, and the “Arrested Development” alum, 51, packed their bags and moved to England following Donald Trump’s election victory earlier this month.
Sources close to the couple, who married in 2008, said they would probably “never” return to the US on a permanent basis.
However, according to a former palace staffer, the 43-year-old “Suits” alum, despite claiming to have a very close friendship with the former “Ellen Show” host, is not thinking about making a similar move herself a second time. Will happen.
Grant Harrold, who previously served as King Charles’s personal butler for seven years, exclusively told The Post that Markle “will not follow suit.”
“Meghan is very much an American girl, she doesn’t want to live in the UK permanently,” Harold said of the former actress. “I can see him coming for holidays and spending time here, but living here permanently? I don’t see it.”
However, Harrold said the same principle doesn’t apply to Markle’s husband, Prince Harry.
In fact, the former palace staffer believes the 40-year-old Duke of Sussex will eventually make the move.
“I see it,” he said of the exiled prince. “I think he might be ready to come back. As I always say, never say never.”
The Post has contacted Markle’s representatives for comment.
Still, after being stripped of tax-funded private security following their royal exit in 2020, the Sussexes – and especially Markle – have made a conscious effort to stay out of the UK.
Harry has since made it his mission to secure security protection for his family, with the two not seen together on Harry’s home soil since 2022.
In yet another blow, the two have reportedly been removed from the invite list to spend Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham.
After making the trans-Atlantic move, DeGeneres and De Rossi are now gearing up to put their massive Montecito, Calif., mansion on the market, source told TheWrap,
different source told tmz That the two decided to “get out” of the country shortly after the president-elect’s victory over Kamala Harris left him feeling “very disappointed.”
The former talk show host was vocal about her support of Harris — and even reportedly donated $3,300 to the vice president’s campaign.
As far as her extensive property portfolio is concerned, DeGeneres’ impressive net worth of $370 million has allowed her to own some incredible properties over the years.
His most recent home purchase was in Montecito, which he and de Rossi bought in 2019 for $27 million. The two lived next door to the Sussexes and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The couple are reportedly now living in the Cotswolds in south-west England – about two hours from London.
Not surprisingly the area not only boasts some famous names as residents but is also home to royalty as King Charles and Queen Camilla own Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
And it looks like the “Finding Nemo” star and his wife have already settled into their new life in the UK.
