Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly ready to leave her royal life behind and establish herself as a Hollywood power player in California. According to renowned author Andrew Morton, who previously wrote a book about Markle titled "Meghan: A Hollywood Princess," the former actress has no desire to return to the UK and is making her own life on the West Coast.

Morton, known for his best-selling book "Diana: Her True Story," claims that Markle never fully embraced the rules and rituals of the royal family. He also noted that there is tension between Markle and Kate Middleton, stating that "there's not much love lost between Kate and Meghan." However, he believes that Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have established themselves in California and are focused on their own lives.

The couple relocated to Montecito, California, in 2020 after stepping back from their roles as senior royals. Morton highlighted the abundance of billionaires and millionaires in the area, stating that it provides a fertile ground for raising money for their charities. In fact, Harry and Markle signed a lucrative $100 million deal with Netflix in 2020 to produce content for the streaming platform.

One of Markle's upcoming projects includes relaunching her lifestyle blog, The Tig, which she shut down after her engagement to Harry in 2017. The blog, which was founded in 2014 and named after Markle's favorite red wine, Tignanello, will feature articles on food, cooking, travel, relationships, fashion, interior design, and health and wellness.

Morton believes that Markle has no intention of returning to the UK, especially if it means curtsying to Middleton. He stated that Markle is carving out her own life in California and has no desire to be involved in the royal family's drama.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been open about their struggles with royal life and their decision to step back. They have given interviews, released documentaries, and even written memoirs to share their experiences. Despite their controversies, Markle remains determined to make a name for herself in Hollywood and continue her philanthropic work.

As the Sussex saga continues, Morton describes this phase as their "difficult second album," where they must go beyond airing grievances and expand their brand. While they may not be popular in Britain, they have found success and wealth in their own right in the United States.

Although there may be no plans for Markle to return to the UK, Morton doesn't rule out the possibility entirely. He believes that Harry and Markle could have made a greater impact if they had given more attention and focus to their royal duties. However, they have chosen a different path and are settling into their new life in California.

Ultimately, Markle and Harry are determined to create their own legacy outside of the royal family. They have found opportunities and support in California, where they can pursue their passions and make a difference through their charities. While the future remains uncertain, it is clear that Markle is ready to conquer Hollywood and leave her royal life behind.
