Even before victor in the presidential race is revealed, a number of British stars have decided life in America is too risky to contemplate and have bid farewell to their adopted homeland, citing political reasons for their return to the UK. Speaking to Harper's Bazaar last week, Joan star and mother-of-two Sophie Turner , 28, revealed that gun violence and the overturning of Roe v Wade, meaning the right to abortion is no longer protected as a constitutional right, fuelled her decision to 'get the f*** out of there'.
Meanwhile, Florida-born architect Dara Huang, the mother of Princess Beatrice 's stepson Wolfie Mapelli Mozzi, 8, has chosen to settle in the UK because of her fears over school shootings. Saoirse Ronan , the Irish American actress, has also been vocal about Trump's 'barbaric' easing of restrictions on gun ownership, saying that she fears being shot.
