Cohen’s reference to the estranged royal family comes after Meghan, 42, and her husband Prince Harry left their life in England for a quieter routine in suburban Santa Barbara.

There are already 11 Housewives franchises in America, including but not limited to Beverly Hills, Orange County, New York City, New Jersey and Salt Lake City. Twenty-one international iterations of the reality series round out the Bravo sensation.

Markle has never appeared on reality TV before, but the former actress is best known on television for her role as Rachel Zane in Suits. Since stepping down from her day-to-day role in the British royal family, Meghan and Harry have signed an ongoing deal with Netflix to produce several series, including recently released documentaries Heart of Invictus.
