In an effort to regroup, the royal couple are now planning to take six weeks of “much-needed family time” from mid-November through the end of the year, says an insider, noting that Meghan, 38, quietly worked throughout much of her maternity leave.

The young family will undoubtedly go to Meghan’s hometown of Los Angeles to spend time with her mom,Doria Ragland, with whom she’s very close.

“This would be Harry’s first Thanksgiving in the States,” adds the source. “It will be nice for them to be around people that love them and have him understand her traditions too.”

The couple recently spent time together on a royal tour in South Africa, which is near the country of Lesotho where Harry, 35, established his Sentebale charity. The prince addressed rumors that they could be relocating to Africa in their candid documentary.

“I don’t know where we could live in Africa at the moment,” he said. “We just came from Cape Town, that would be an amazing place to base ourselves, of course, it would. But with all the problems that are going on there, I just don’t see how we’d be able to really make as much difference as we’d want to without the issues and the judgment of how we would be with those surroundings.”
