Home is where the heart is for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The couple may be moving their farm from Montecito, California to the sunny shores of Malibu, an insider recently claimed that Express.

Markle, 41, and Harry, 38, have been “secretly” looking at homes in the beach town so they can be closer to Los Angeles, the outlet reported.

“Harry and Meghan are reviewing their housing options and Malibu is a place of interest,” the insider noted.

“They have secretly visited the area a couple of times and have been out looking at what’s there.”

However, their plans are still up in the air, according to Express.

“It’s uncertain whether they will sell Montecito or simply add a Malibu spot to buy. The consideration of the move comes as Meghan shifts gears and focuses back on Hollywood with WME,” the source said, adding that the move is “smart” because of the number of celebrities who also lives in Malibu.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have lived in their $14 million 9-bedroom mansion in Montecito since 2020 after to be banished from the royal family earlier in the same year.

Representatives for Harry and Meghan declined to comment, but sources close to the couple told The Post that they are staying in their current home.

The former actress has reportedly also seen a return to Hollywood in recent months, and this could possibly be the reason for buying a new Tinseltown abode.

She too signed with a new talent agency, William Morris Endeavourearlier this year to help build her global business.

Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” said Fox News Digital in May that Markle’s new contract is a step towards becoming a “power player” in a world of glitz, glamor and the silver screen.

“If Meghan doesn’t end up hosting a syndicated daytime talk show, I’ll be surprised,” Andersen explained to the publication.

He added, “She certainly seems well-suited for that particular role, and I can easily see her pursuing a career similar to Oprah’s (Winfrey) in media: a show, a magazine, producing, directing — the works.”

“She still has a significant portion of the viewing public in her corner,” the writer said.

The couple has released a slew of projects, such as their Netflix documentary series “Harry & Meghan” and their “Archetypes” podcast — which has not been renewed for a second season after their $20 million deal with Spotify fell through.

However, despite the duo’s range of content, their media empire appears to be “crumbling”, according to royal expert Angela Levin.

She claimed that Harry and Markle’s future projects will crash and burn, reports the sun recently that their “value is not as high as it once was.”

“People are tired of them now,” the “Harry: A Biography of a Prince” author said, adding that their upcoming content plans will be “disastrous.”
