It appears the dust is finally settling after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced they’re stepping down as senior members of the royal family. Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton are all back to work with their regular slate of royal engagements, while the Sussexes are reportedly settling into their new normal.

According to People, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and baby Archie are still staying in the mansion on Vancouver Island where they spent time over the holidays—and they’re loving it. “They are enjoying living a quiet life,” a source said. “They go for long walks, they do yoga, and Meghan cooks. They are real homebodies who love to chill out with Archie and the dogs.” Mostly they’re very happy to have the exit deal done. “This decision [to leave] had been weighing on them for a long time, and they are relieved to have it done,” a friend told People. “A weight has been lifted off their shoulders.”

That sounds just like the sort of normal life Harry, in particular, has always craved and never known, given the world he was born into. Apparently
the prince will even pick up takeout sandwiches from a local restaurant for the fam, while Markle is loving long walks with her famous beagle, Guy, and the couple’s Labrador. “She’s keeping a low profile while things settle down,” a source said.

But that doesn’t mean the couple isn’t hard at work making plans for their future endeavors, including the launch of a new charity foundation. “These plans take a lot of time, and staff are putting in the legwork to prepare it properly and make sure it delivers on the expectations and the couple’s ambitions,” a source told People.

“He really cares about his work. He’s a good guy,” another friend of the couple said.

“It’s full throttle for them right now,” another friend told the magazine. “They have a lot happening in 2020, and it will be really exciting to see.”
