The Sussexes are said to be eyeing up a sprawling six-bedroom home near LA’s wealthy neighborhood of Pacific Palisades and are planning to have Meghan’s mom Doria move in with them and baby Archie.
‘Once quarantine and lockdown are over, Harry and Meghan will be moving into their new pad – and they want Doria to be included in these plans,’ a source told The Sun.
The source said Meghan wants to keep her mother, 63, close as she is ‘her rock’ and now ‘doesn’t trust many people’ outside of an immediate circle of family and friends.
