Meghan Markle has just been called out by a prominent figure in the United Kingdom who is saying that she is the one who made sure that she and Harry moved to her hometown of Los Angeles, California this year.

Stanley Johnson, father of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, told Saga Magazine that he firmly believes it was Meghan who convinced Harry to go through with the move to Hollywood, the entertainment capitol of the world.

“Whose decision was it, I wonder, to build a new life in North America? I can’t help thinking that Meghan, as we must now call her, played a leading role here,” said Johnson, 79. He added that Meghan’s desire to return to America could stem from “basic cultural difference between British women and their transatlantic counterparts.”

“I’m thinking of my mother, for example,” he said. “After my father recovered from his war wounds, he decided to return to the West Country and became a farmer. My mother, who went to Cheltenham Ladies’ College and Oxford University, and imagined that she might marry a diplomat, spent her next 36 years in the old, remote Exmoor farmhouse that I still have today.”

“She took to heart the famous words in The Bible’s book of Ruth: ‘Whither thou goest, I will go and where thou lodgest, I will lodge.’ The Duchess of Sussex clearly has tremendous charm and talent, but I’m not sure she sets great store by the book of Ruth,” Johnson added.

Johnson also talked about how disappointed he was to see Meghan and Harry step down as senior royals, a decision they announced in January and that went into affect April 1.

“Personally, I am very sad to see them go,” he said. “Their charity work was fantastic, particularly the support they gave to wildlife conservation and women’s issues.”

Meghan, 38, grew up in Los Angeles and spent years living there as a young woman trying to make it as an actress, so it’s safe to say that the couple is back on her home turf now. They are said to be looking at lavish mansions in Malibu, which is known as one of the ritziest and most expensive areas of the city.
