Long Before Prince Harry Moved to California, His Mother Princess Diana Dreamed of Doing So Herself

Princess Diana.

When it happened back in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relocation from the U.K. to the U.S.—California specifically—didn’t seem totally random. After all, Meghan is from there, and just as she was willing to relocate to Harry’s native U.K. in the beginning of their marriage, why wouldn’t he be willing to do the same in reverse? But it seems that Harry’s move to the U.S. might have even deeper roots than previously thought, The Daily Express reports.

Harry’s mother Princess Diana had a long-held desire to move part-time to the U.S., specifically to Malibu. This was played out in the most recent season of The Crown, the first half of which dropped on Netflix on Thursday. On the show, Diana (played by Elizabeth Debicki) has a desire to move “away from England,” she shares during a heart-to-heart with Dodi Fayed (played by Khalid Abdalla) in episode three. The two sit on the Fayed yacht in St. Tropez as Diana discusses her struggles with the media, who had been pursuing the two during their holiday together.
