In interviews since moving to California, Prince Harry has often stressed that one of the reasons he and wife Meghan Markle left the UK was to protect his wife.

And sadly the move didn’t fix everything. When they first arrived in the Golden State, the couple stayed at Tyler Perry’s house, because he had security.
