One of the Duchess of Sussex’s close friends could be set to move out of the US following President Donald Trump’s electoral win.
Meghan Markle’s return to the UK could become a reality as it has reported that one of her close friends could be set to move out of the US.
Ellen DeGeneres, who is said to still be close friends with the former actress, is reportedly planning on moving from her home in Sunny California to the Cotswolds in the UK. The 66-year-old – who has been friends with Meghan since her days on US drama Suits – and her wife Portia De Rossi, 51, are reported to have already purchased a luxurious mansion in the picturesque region of the UK.
When Meghan and Prince Harry still lived in the UK, Ellen is said to have visited them and their son. The past visit now means the couple could soon return the favor if the move goes ahead as reportedly planned.
News of Ellen’s possible move comes just weeks after President Trump gain victory in recent the US election. According to the Daily Mail, Ellen and her wife – who were pictured at Jeremy Clarkson’s pub The Farmer’s Dog in the Cotswolds last week – are said to be “very disillusioned” by his victory – and intend to “get the hell out” of the US.
Meghan and Harry now reside in California with their two children – and are thought to be neighbours with Ellen and Portia. The couple have been living in America since 2020 after stepping down as senior working members of the Royal Family. Although Harry has made many trips to the UK, Meghan hasn’t stepped foot on UK soil since 2022.
