Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are looking for a second home across the pond, a source claims.
It is believed the royal couple are hoping to move closer to the Duchess of Sussex's mother, Doria Ragland, who she is very close to.

The royal couple, who are expecting their first child any day now, only recently moved into Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, after a £3 million renovation.

The source suggests Meghan would like a 'less restrictive environment' for her child - something which a move to Hollywood would provide. Pictured, the parents-to-be take part in a
