Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are thought to be considering moving to a new home in Los Angeles.
Three years after moving to their current home in Montecito, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are rumoured to be considering buying a property in the popular star-studded beach city of Malibu.
While discussions are said to be at an early stage, a source claimed that the couple were eager to make the move in order to be closer to central LA.
Trips into the Hollywood city from their current £11.4million mansion can take as long as three hours in peak traffic times.

Trulia"Harry and Meghan are reviewing their living options with Malibu being a place of interest," the source told the Express.
"They have secretly visited the area a couple of times and have been out and about, looking at what’s there."
"And Meghan knows parts of the region from being there as a kid.
"It is uncertain if they will sell Montecito or just add a Malibu spot to buy.
LATEST ROYAL DEVELOPMENTS:
"The move consideration comes as Meghan is shifting gears and focus back to Hollywood with WME."
Meghan signed with the William Morris Endeavour (WME) Talent Agency earlier this year in a bid to help relaunch her career.
She is being represented by Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, widely regarded as one of the most influential talent agents in California.
The source added: "Being close to Beverly Hills and LA where the deals are done is smart.

Big names to own homes in Malibu include Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Simon Cowell.
The Sussexes' current Montecito mansion consists of nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, along with a games room, a gym, tennis courts and tea house.
They moved in to the property after temporarily living in the LA home of American Tyler Perry at the start of the Covid pandemic.
