Meghan Markle is reportedly facing jokes over her “Eggxit” from California as she and Prince Harry prepare to spend an extended period in Britain. The couple plans to bring their dogs, but their much-loved flock of chickens will remain at their Montecito home under the care of household staff.
Meghan Markle reportedly faces ‘Eggxit’ mockery over her chickens
Harry and Meghan are preparing for a major change in their family routine after six years in California. However, their move across the Atlantic does not mean they are cutting ties with the US. Their Montecito mansion will remain, along with the chicken coop that became an unexpected symbol of Meghan’s post-royal life.
“There has been plenty of joking about ‘Eggxit’ because the chickens became such a recognizable part of Meghan’s California life,” the source claimed to RadarOnline. “They featured prominently in the image she created after leaving Britain, so there is an obvious irony that the family is heading back to the UK while the chickens stay behind.”
Meghan reportedly remains very attached to the chickens, but moving them across the Atlantic was never a realistic option. Another insider said the birds will stay at the Montecito home and continue to receive proper care.
Harry and Meghan originally rescued 10 hens from a commercial farm in California. Their neighbor, Ellen DeGeneres, later gave them another chicken. The birds also appeared during the couple’s famous interview with Oprah Winfrey and later featured in one of Meghan’s Netflix projects. The family even gave their chicken coop a personal name, “Archie’s Chick Inn,” after their son, Prince Archie.
The chickens’ decision to remain in California has now taken on an ironic meaning as Harry and Meghan prepare to spend more time in Britain. “The chickens became symbolic of the quiet, independent existence Harry and Meghan wanted after leaving royal life,” the insider said. “But something is amusing about ‘Eggxit’ happening as they reverse course and establish themselves in Britain again.”
