Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have openly discussed their desire to live a private life.
Now a new report claims that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may opt to live in New Zealand.

Prince Charles is currently on a tour of New Zealand with wife Camilla.
During the tour North Island leader Waihoroi Shortland asked the Prince of Wales to send one of his sons to be the next Governor-General of the region.
Mr Shorland said: “Noble prince, you have two sons, grant that one of them may be a governor-general for us.
“Think upon it sir, your answer could be very, very important.”
Charles was the first of the royal family to visit the region where a treaty was signed 25 years ago between the Maori community and the British Crown.
The news comes after Buckingham Palace confirmed that Harry and Meghan will be spending Christmas away from the Queen and Sandringham and instead spend time with the Duchess’ mother, Doria Ragland, in Los Angeles.
The Palace’s statement read: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking forward to extended family time towards the end of this month.
“Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, [the couple] will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the Duchess’ mother Doria.”
The statement added: “This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen.”
This year will mark only the second time Prince Harry has spent his Christmas away from Sandringham.
In 2012, the Duke of Sussex was serving in Afghanistan over the Christmas period
Royal author Marlene Koenig has pointed out that if Queen Elizabeth isn’t fazed by the Sussex’s absence, than the public shouldn’t be either.
“A certain element of the press are going to find fault with everything they do,” Ms Koenig tells Express.co.uk.
“The Cambridges have spent Christmas twice since they’ve been married with the Middleton’s, so what is wrong with Meghan and Harry spending Christmas with her mother?”
Ms Koenig added: “The Queen seems to be all right with it so why should anyone criticise it?”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen to spend multiple Christmases away from Sandringham, often spending time with Middleton’s family in Buckbury with their three children, Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1.
