Before cementing her place in the British monarchy, the Los Angeles home where Meghan Markle lived during her time as an actress and blogger has now gone up for sale for a cool $1.8 million.
The Suits star-turned-Duchess of Sussex lived in the 2,262-square-foot colonial-style Hancock Park home with her former beau Trevor Engelson, who she was married to from 2011 to 2013.
It may not be quite as regal as the grounds of Windsor Castle, but the super modern four-bedroom, three bathroom humble abode has a stunning open-plan format and is just a stones-throw away from the center of Tinseltown.
The sprawling downstairs comes accented with a quaint fireplace, elegant white moldings and high ceilings – trappings certainly fit for a king…or duchess.

Both of the home’s floors are flooded with natural light, but prospective buyers hoping to bask in more direct sunshine can even eat outdoors in the garden’s al fresco dining spot.
Meghan, 38, did at one time own the home with Engelson, but it’s unclear who its current proprietor is.
The Princess has since moved across the pond to live in Frogmore Cottage with Harry and new baby Archie, however the West Coast may not have seen the last of Meghan yet.

Both she and the Duke of Sussex are said to be planning a royal tour of the United States with one of the stops slated to include her former Hollywood stomping grounds.
But it’s also believed the royal couple are actually considering buying a property in LA so they can be nearer to Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, who she is very close to.
‘Meghan definitely wants a place in Los Angeles — she loves the city, the lifestyle and climate,’ a source told The Sun. ‘Ultimately, she is a California girl and can breathe easier there.’
The rumors began circulating just before Archie’s birth and weeks after moving into Frogmore, following its $3.6 million renovation

Meghan grew up in LA before moving to Toronto to pursue her acting career and film Suits – where she then lived for six years. It is while living in the Canadian city that she met Prince Harry.
According to sources, another perk of having a place in Los Angeles would be having more freedom and control.
‘Spending time there would also allow her some freedom and independence from both the Palace and the Press — and more control over her life and the people around her,’ the publication reported. ‘She is a duchess in the UK, but could be a queen in LA.’
