Speaking to Us Weekly (opens in new tab), Marissa Harmer of Ladies of London shared her own experience moving from London to Los Angeles and her predictions about how the move will affect Harry and Meghan's lives (opens in new Open in tab).

"Most of the adjustments are positive. Blue skies, the sun, the universe. All those wonderful things, wonderful places," Hamel explained.

Of course, not all moves are always easy. Harmer acknowledged the obvious: "It's hard to feel so far from home," but insisted that there are "plenty of ways to manage" such a feeling.

According to Harmer, the important thing for Harry and Megan (open in new tab) is to build a community of friends in their new home that is like a new family.

"In the same way, you can build a family of friends wherever you go. Anyone who moves internationally away from their family," she says. 'I think it's about building a small community wherever you go. My family is in Orange County, so that helps."

Solid advice.
