The rumors have been going on for some time now that the Sussexes might move to the US. In fact, after their shocking ITV documentary, the speculation has only heightened. It is said that the couple might choose Los Angeles as that's where the former actress is from. But, what will happen if the rumors come true?

1. Archie Will Enjoy The Best Of Both Worlds

According to Insider, royal commentator Kristen Meinzer believes that the relocation to the US will only be part-time. However, she feels that it will be a great move for the couple because Meghan can live close to her mother and all her friends. Also, Archie will understand both his cultures.

"And it would better connect Harry to his wife's history, and his own — let's not forget that Princess Diana's great-grandmother, Frances Ellen Work, was an American," says Meinzer.

Princess Diana's former butler says that she always wanted to move to the US, and Prince Harry might be following her footsteps.

2. The Duke And The Duchess of Sussex Might Lose Their HRH Status

Although the palace has never released official protocol on what would happen if a British royal were to relocate, royals from other countries have lost their titles and the Sussexes may follow suit. Apart from this, living in another country may mean that they won't be able to carry out all of the official engagements they're required to.

"They are both incredibly dedicated to their royal duties, and to serving as goodwill ambassadors for the UK and the Commonwealth. If they lived in the US more than occasionally, they wouldn't be able to perform their duties to the level that they wanted to," says Meinzer.

3. Meghan's American Roots Can Help

According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, "Meghan's celebrity friends are in the US and will provide support for their charitable activities as the Obamas did for Invictus and Oprah has for Harry's campaign on mental illness."

Meghan has been representing her homeland through the charity work that she is doing and this can only strengthen her role going forward. Her heritage is a big part of the royal, and it will also be a part of her son's upbringing.
