WINDSOR, ONTARIO: Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank are reportedly making plans to pull a 'Megxit 2.0' of their own as the royal couple is considering following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's footsteps and relocating to the US after the birth of their second child. A source close to the princess claims the Sussexes have already been sending her property recommendations close to their home in Montecito.

However, it appears that Eugenie and her property developer husband are instead looking at places in the West Hollywood area of Los Angeles. Moreover, the couple intends on renting first before sealing the deal and buying the property, as per Daily Mail's source. "With a growing family, it all feels like it is about new starts. This isn't just a pipe dream," the insider dished. Notably, Eugenie, who is the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, is already familiar with America as she lived there once before, from 2013 to 2015, when she worked at the auction house Paddle8 in New York.

Transition to stateside 'will likely be fairly smooth'

Meanwhile, the royal couple, who have just announced they're expecting a second child, split their time between the UK and Portugal. Brooksbank reportedly works with property tycoon Mike Meldman at Discovery Land Company which has its core properties settled around the United States. Thus, a move to the stateside is likely to be fairly smooth. While in Britain, Brooksbank and Eugenie have been residing at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. As per the Daily Mail, the property was handed over to Prince Harry and Meghan by the late Queen before they left the UK.
