Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially Angelenos after landing a swanky new home in Los Angeles. The couple created worldwide shockwaves in January when it was announced they were leaving the royal family, thereby denouncing their royal obligations.
With news of Meghan returning to show business, it only made sense to plant roots in the City of Angels as she begins the next chapter of her acting career. Not to mention they have a HUGE support system in Los Angeles. Including their new team of Hollywood agents and a slew of public relations and business managers... and of course Meghan's mom, Doria Ragland. The former Suits star has already completed her latest acting gig after lending her voice to the Disney+ production, The Elephant, which premieres April 3.
After leaving the UK, the royal couple first landed in Vancouver Island, Canada, where they resided in a remote mansion. Yesterday, they made the move to Los Angeles via private jet with their 10-month-old son, Archie. A source close to the family says, "Harry and Meghan have left Canada now for good. The borders were closing and flights were stopping. They had to get out." The family remains on lockdown in a secret location in the Hollywood area as the country struggles to slow the spread of coronavirus. On Wednesday, it was announced Prince Harry’s father, Prince Charles had contracted the virus but it remains to be seen whether Prince Harry will make the trip to England to visit his father. Travel restrictions were put in place March 16 and all flights to the UK have been suspended until further notice... but we're sure an exception could be made.
Aside from her return to acting, the 38-year-old Duchess of Sussex is preparing for a series of new endeavors. Meghan has plans to write her second cookbook, a follow up to 2018's Together: Our Community Cookbook and is hoping to relaunch her lifestyle blog, The Tig. She's also looking to release her very own kitchenware line, in addition to continuing her philanthropic work. Meghan will clearly have no trouble keeping herself busy now that she no longer has to fulfill her royal duties!

As things continue to get super serious between Jennifer Garner's ex-husband Ben Affleck and his new love Ana de Armas, the mother-of-three finds comfort in bonding with her adorable 14-year-old daughter Violet.
Wednesday night the duo stepped out for an evening stroll as they broke from self-quarantine to get a bit of fresh air. Violet, who nearly looks like Jennifer's twin, wraps her arm around mom as they enjoy their solo outing in the neighborhood. Jennifer, perhaps sending a message, sports a 'broken heart' print sweatshirt which she paired with tight denim and white sneakers.
To keep busy during lockdown, Jennifer's been working hard on the #SaveWithStories initiative she co-founded with Catch Me If You Can co-star Amy Adams. The initiative is in partnership with Save the Children and No Kid Hungry and features celebrities reading children's stories via social media.
Jennifer's also been passing time by partaking in a series of Instagram challenges while encouraging clean hands and good hygiene amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. She hit the floor and displayed her impressive upper body strength by completing a few sets of pushups.
Jennifer has reportedly been dating Cali Group chairman John Miller for nearly two years... but the couple haven't been spotted together since September 20. Some are even speculating they've broken up and the heartbreak is being triggered by Ben's over the top PDA sessions with his 31-year-old girlfriend.

The coronavirus lockdown is giving everyone, especially celebrities a major case of the quarantine blues! As the country struggles to get the coronavirus under control, many states are enacting 'stay and shelter' orders with the exception of "essential activities." Stars have been finding various ways of fighting cabin fever as they self-quarantine -- usually by soaking up sun in the fresh SoCal air or running errands around town.
Australian-born actress Naomi Watts and husband Liev Schreiber recently packed up their belongings and landed in Los Angeles with their children as coronavirus cases in New York top 30,000, by far the most in the nation. The two-time Academy Award nominee posted a few cute photos of her journey to her Instagram account.
After getting settled in on the west coast, Watts was able to clear her mind by partaking in a leisurely bike ride with 12-year-old son Alexander. She's been seen taking extra precautions from the virus by sporting latex gloves during her grocery run as she stocks up for lockdown.
Oscar winner Casey Affleck beat the boredom by hitting the streets for a game of football with 12-year-old son Atticus. The duo tossed the ball around and ran a few drills as they pass time during lockdown. The doting dad showed off his long ball while Atticus sprinted down the street in attempt to make the catch.
Goldie Hawn shows she's still every bit the bombshell at age 74. The blonde beauty displayed her sun-kissed glow in all-black workout gear as the mother-of-three takes an afternoon stroll with a pal. Not pictured is the love of her life, Kurt Russell, with whom she's been partnered with for over 37 years.
Olivier Martinez isn't a fan of food delivery services so the French actor broke from quarantine to pick up a few vital items at Bristol Farms in West Hollywood. The 54-year-old shares a 6-year-old son, Maceo Robert Martinez, with ex-wife, Halle Berry.

Last week California became the first state to mandate a stay-home order when Governor Gavin Newsom put an edict in place to slow down the spread of coronavirus infections. The order remains in place until further notice and citizens are ordered not to leave home except for "essential purposes". After several days of self-quarantine, celebrities are doing what they can to retain their sanity while battling cabin fever.
Kristen Stewart took her mind off the pandemic by chilling at the park with pals. The gang maintained a safe distance from one another as they mingled in the afternoon sun. Afterward, they enjoyed a leisurely stroll before heading to K-Stew's pad for lunch.
Charlize Theron picked up a few necessities at Bristol Farms supermarket in Beverly Hills with daughter August and son Jackson. The two can be seen running ahead of mom, Jackson hiding his face as he heads to the car. One thing that stands out... no face masks or gloves for this crew! Be safe, guys!
Swedish star Malin Akerman took son Sebastian to the park for some fresh air and a game of ball. The pair kicked the soccer ball around, threw it, and rolled around on the grass after being "safer at home" for days following California governor Gavin Newsom's mandate.
SNL alum Jason Sudeikis got his blood flowing on the crowded hiking trails -- despite rising death tolls due to the pandemic.
It seems even celebrities are willing to run the risk of infection in order to maintain some normalcy to their lives!
