Over the weekend, everyone lost it after an ambulance was spotted outside the home of Meghan and Harry, Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The tabloids were convinced that the royal baby had arrived.

It hasn’t, so we can move on to more local news.

According to Channel24, Meghan and Harry plan on living in South Africa for four months of the year following the birth of the new royal.

“Harry and Meghan are excited about the plans, even though the move is planned only for next year or 2021,” a source close to the couple said.

“The idea is they’ll spend between three and four months every year based in an African country, where they’d work and then use it as a base for travel. South Africa and Botswana are two countries on the shortlist that are considered the most likely.”

Harry and Meghan already have ties to Africa, and South Africa in particular.

Harry has been in South Africa on a number of occasions and has visited Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and the Kruger National Park. In 2017 shortly before they got engaged he took Meghan on safari in South Africa.

Rumours suggest that Cape Town is on the list of potential places to settle for the Duke and Duchess.

I would hazard a guess that Constantia is in the running. Cue headlines about Harry being spotted at La Parada in the wee hours with a mystery cougar, and the paparazzi patrolling Constantia Village Shopping Centre.

We’ll keep you updated.
