Inside Meghan Markle's plans for new life in LA from baby dreams to A-list party circuit

Meghan Markle is said to be hoping to cement her new post-royal life in Los Angeles by having another baby with husband Harry, launching a homeware range and hitting the A-list party circuit.

The couple moved to Canada after stepping down as senior royals this year, but they later ditched Vancouver Island in favour of sunny California.

People.com reports the couple are now living in a "secure compound" in Los Angeles with their son Archie while they look for their forever home.

They are said to have been eyeing up a stunning five-bedroom mansion with tennis courts, swimming pools and a wine cellar.

They moved to LA just as Meghan's first post-royal role - a voiceover for Disney documentary Elephant - was released.

Now US sources are predicting what's next for the Duchess of Sussex as she and Harry start forging their own path and making their own money.

US Weekly reports Meghan and Harry are keen to start trying for baby number two, but the Suits star wants to start work on several projects close to her heart first.

An insider told the magazine that Meghan wants to relaunch her lifestyle blog The Tig, which she shuttered after joining the royal family.

She's also said to be planning to develop a kitchenware range.

The source said: "Meghan has heaps of projects in the works."

They added of the baby plans "[they want to] start trying in earnest pretty soon."

The couple are currently in isolation during the coronavirus lockdown in California, but reports suggest they hope to emerge onto the showbiz scene once the health crisis ends.

Joe Bel Bruno, editor-in-chief of website dot.LA, told the Guardian Meghan and Harry will be top of the invite list for every Hollywood event once business gets going again.

He said: "We already have a lot of celebrities, and we have multibillionaires who live here from the business world who like to entertain and like to throw these sort of events, and they will be No 1 on the list.

"Everyone will be clamouring to get them because we don’t have royals here, so this elevates the scene a bit.”

Melanie Bromley, chief news correspondent and head of news operations for E!, added: "Ultimately, this is a city where royalty trumps celebrity.

"They are potentially the most famous residents of Los Angeles – or at least theyre on the same level as Oprah [Winfrey], as that kind of celebrity, AAA list."

Meghan and Harry kicked off 2020 by announcing plans to step down as senior roles so they could forge their own path and work towards becoming financially independent.

After tense negotiations with The Queen, they officially ceased royal duties on March 31.

They will have to end their use of their Sussex Royal brand, which they use as their Instagram handle and had applied to trademark for a number of different product lines.
