Prince Harry and his actress girlfriend Meghan Markle are coming to America, and it's not just for a visit, a new report says. OK! is the first to claim that the lovebirds are "looking to by a place in the U.S.A." to get closer to Meghan's mother.

A so-called source reveals to the tabloid that Harry and Meghan have not only been "eyeing properties in Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and the Hollywood Hills, but also estates in Orange County." The source says that "they need a base near her mom and family that's secure and private."

The alleged source goes on to assert that the 32-year-old royal redhead and the 35-year-old actress are "still not sure if they'll keep her pad in Vancouver. It would only be for sentimental reasons as that's where their romance really started."

Prince Harry "loves the idea of a base in California," the insider claims, before adding that the fifth-in-line to the U.K. throne "knows they have to officially live in the Palace, but the chance to get away and soak up some rays in Cali is exactly what he needs."

Representatives for the couple haven't responded to the house hunting report. Meghan currently lives in Toronto. The "Suits" actress is committed to living there through the end of 2017. It's unclear if she considers relocating to California with her prince beau when her show ends.
