Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are looking to buy a $10 million mansion round the corner from Tom Hanks and Ben Affleck, complete with a ‘granny annex’ for Doria, according to sources close to the couple.
The Sussexes are said to be eyeing up a sprawling six-bedroom home near LA’s wealthy neighborhood of Pacific Palisades and are planning to have Meghan’s mom Doria move in with them and baby Archie.
‘Once quarantine and lockdown are over, Harry and Meghan will be moving into their new pad – and they want Doria to be included in these plans,’ a source told The Sun.
‘She is hugely independent though, and doesn’t want to be in their space. She will have her own granny annexe.’

The source said Meghan wants to keep her mother close as she is ‘her rock’ and she ‘doesn’t trust many people’.
‘The family have been joking that Meghan and Harry will now have a babysitter on tap, but the reality is Meghan doesn’t trust many people and Doria is her rock and her biggest champion,’ they said.
The source said that, while Harry has reportedly grown increasingly distant from his own family after the couple’s shock exit from Royal life, he has forged a close bond with Doria and is happy to include her as the family looks to set down roots in LA.
‘Harry has also grown close to her so, believe it or not, he was receptive to the idea of living with his mother-in-law,’ the source said.

‘Obviously, under lockdown, they won’t be moving house any time soon but they are both looking forward to laying down more permanent roots in Los Angeles, and making it home.’
The luxury mansion they have their sights set on boasts a swimming pool, cinema, a pergola and a spectacular sea view.
According to the listing, it sits in a gated community and also features a one-acre garden and a giant play area to keep Archie entertained.

Then there’s the chef’s kitchen, an in-built BBQ area, not to mention the celebrity neighbors – with the property just a stone’s throw from the homes of A-listers Tom Hanks and Ben Affleck.
Its current owner is Fast and Furious film producer Steve Chasman, who put the property on the market back in September.
The property comes in under the couple’s hefty budget, based on reports from TMZ last month that they were looking for a home between $12 million and $18 million in the exclusive Bel-Air area.

The couple are being bankrolled by Prince Charles for the first year of their new life.
Meghan and Harry first moved to Canada after they announced they were stepping down as senior working royals but then flew to California in March before the borders closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Since then, they have kept a low profile, spotted only a few times walking their dogs and distributing meals to the needy for the Project Angel Food charity.
