No looking back! Despite the ongoing drama, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are confident that the best is yet to come for their growing family.

According to a source, Harry believes moving to Santa Barbara, Calif., is "the best decision he’s ever made."

"Harry does not have any regrets," the source told Us Weekly. "[He] feels liberated and excited about starting this new chapter."

In February, it was revealed that the duo were relinquishing their roles within the royal family, but they planned to continue their philanthropic work.

"As evidenced by their work over the past year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the U.K. and around the world, and have offered their continued support to organizations they have represented, regardless of official role," their statement read after the news broke. "We can all live a life of service. Service is universal."

So far, the pair — who are expecting baby number two later this year — are making good on their word.

To start, Harry took a job as the Chief Impact Officer with mental health-focused startup BetterUp.

"I intend to help create impact in people’s lives," he said of his goals. "Proactive coaching provides endless possibilities for personal development, increased awareness, and an all-round better life."

Harry has been a mental health advocate for years, and even used the BetterUp app himself.

"I was matched with my coach who, quite frankly, is truly awesome and has always given me sound advice and a fresh perspective, which is so valuable,” he shared of his positive experience with the company's tools.

Additionally, the father-of-one and Meghan have already signed multimillion-dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify, the latter being the platform for which they'll release new episodes of their "Archewell Audio" podcast.

Meanwhile, countless people have claimed that the former actress could one day run for President of the U.S. — though Meghan has yet to comment on the rumors herself.
