During the Royally Obsessed podcast, Rachel Bowie and Rachel Fiorito reflected on their 10 key moments of 2020 for the Royal Family. Despite not selecting Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to move to California and buy a house in Montecito, Ms Bowie praised the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for planting roots in the US.
Ms Fiorito said: “I have to say it was so hard to narrow down, the royals were a huge part of the year.
“They were really active so it was hard to choose.”
Ms Bowie replied: “There is a lot that we left, there was a lot that I did not include that I wish I could have.
“Even Harry and Meghan moving to California was such a huge deal.

“Them buying a house in Montecito and planting roots there.
“All of that was such a big life-altering moment for them.”
Richard Fitzwilliams told Express.co.uk that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex still have enormous appeal worldwide despite stepping down from the Royal Family.
The royal commentator stated that Meghan and Harry are concentrating on their future in America and praised the couple’s work since leaving the monarchy.
Mr Fitzwilliams said: “When the pandemic permits, Harry and Meghan plan to launch Archewell, their non-profit charitable organization, which will champion causes they believe in, such as diversity, gender equality, the environment and helping those suffering from mental illness, which should be applauded.
“They have, as is evident from their deals with Netflix and Spotify, enormous appeal and a worldwide reach.
“Clearly, there are boundaries which they ought not to cross and this matter will be looked into when the agreement made with the Queen at Sandringham is reassessed before the end of March next year.”
The royal commentator added: “They are concentrating on a future in America whilst keeping some British patronages and a Commonwealth role.

“She campaigns on diversity and gender equality and speaks so articulately as she did to her high school graduates not long ago.
“Harry will support her and continue his role with Invictus and charitable work in areas such as mental health, when the pandemic permits.”
