The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been staying at a £10million mansion on Vancouver Island since announcing they would stepping back from royal duties early last month.
“They love being in Canada, but they are looking at houses in L.A. too. They’ll likely have houses in both places”, a source close to the couple reportedly told People magazine.

They believe that Los Angeles would be perfect for their more easy-going lifestyle much and would be able to spend more time enjoying outdoors pursuits such as hiking and walking.
“They are enjoying living a quiet life. They go for long walks, they do yoga, and Meghan cooks.
"They are real homebodies who love to chill out with Archie and the dogs.”
Meghan has talked at length about growing up in southern California on her now defunk website, The Tig.

She wrote: “I was born and raised in Los Angeles, a California girl who lives by the ethos that most things can be cured with either yoga, the beach or a few avocados.”

The Duke and Duchess are renting the luxury pad in North Saanich, Vancouver Island, and are said to have installed a new security camera along the beach, plus a tarpaulin hanging between two trees.

Lawyers for the Queen's grandson Harry and American former actress Meghan issued a legal warning to the media last month after the ex-Suits star was photographed walking her dogs with Archie.
Meanwhile, Canada's The Globe and Mail reported that Meghan telephoned a taxi boat operator after he refused to ferry Japanese photographers to take pictures of the Sussexes' seaside villa.
Miles Arsenault, who runs charters from nearby Deep Cove, described the duchess as "sweet, real and sincere".
This week it was reported three-quarters of Canadians say they do not want to pay for the couple's security, according to a new poll.
