MEGHAN BUILDING $100M PALACE IN LA!

WELCOME TO 'MARKLE MANOR', WHERE NO EXPENSE IS SPARED

In the four years since Meghan Markle made the big move from Toronto to be by Prince Harry's side in London, she's struggled to find a home that's worked.

Not Kensington Palace, Frogmore Cottage or even Vancouver Island sufficed and that was all before she moved out of her friend, actor Tyler Perry's Hollywood home.

Now it seems Meghan is ready to trade in the $20 million Montecito mansion that she and Harry purchased just 19 months ago.

But true to form, Meghan has a plan. In a world exclusive, New Idea can reveal Meghan, 40, has informed Harry, 36, that she wants to sell up and build her own castle from the ground up. Of course, no expense will be spared!

"Harry was blindsided at her announcement,” says a source, who reveals the Duke of Sussex was finally feeling at home in Montecito.
