Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves in hot water as reports suggest that their presence in Montecito is driving away several A-list neighbors.
According to Globe’s November 22 issue, at least three prominent residents have swiftly sold their properties upon the royal couple’s arrival, with one property being acquired by a trust, likely remaining uninhabited.
Contrary to expectations, the allure of living near the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has waned, prompting a surprising exodus from the neighborhood.
The swift departure of residents has left Harry and Meghan feeling livid, tarnishing their image as classy individuals.
Sources reveal that their actions have backfired, portraying them in a negative light and alienating even their affluent acquaintances.
The once adoring wealthy elite, known for their admiration of royalty, now appear eager to distance themselves from the controversial pair, marking a significant blow to their reputation.
This isn’t the first time whispers of discontent have surfaced regarding Prince Harry and Meghan’s behavior as neighbors.
Upon their relocation to Montecito, rumors circulated about disturbances caused by the couple, including increased noise levels and influxes of curious onlookers disrupting the peace.
The chaotic scenes of tour buses and traffic congestion further fueled tensions among locals, leading to frictions within the community.
In a damning report by Star last year, the royal duo was branded as ‘neighbors from hell’ due to their perceived aloofness and lack of friendly interactions.
With limited social circles in Beverly Hills, Prince Harry and Meghan reportedly maintain a secluded lifestyle, predominantly engaging with Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.
Observers note their guarded demeanor, avoiding eye contact and prioritizing privacy, especially concerning their son, Archie.
Security concerns have also been raised amidst fears of potential stalkers targeting the couple.
While Prince Harry and Meghan benefit from a dedicated security team, other residents lack similar protection, heightening anxieties over safety in the neighborhood.
The unease surrounding unwanted visitors seeking the famous pair underscores the complex dynamics at play, accentuating the challenges faced by both the royals and their neighbors.
In a recent sighting, Prince Harry was captured riding an electric bike through Montecito, marking his first public appearance following the much-discussed Oprah Winfrey interview with Meghan.
Clad in a casual black ensemble and adhering to COVID-19 protocols with a face mask, Harry’s solo outing hinted at a moment of respite amidst the ongoing controversies surrounding the couple.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, expressed his disapproval of Prince Harry’s choices, accusing him of abandoning his royal duties and family obligations.
Thomas’ scathing remarks shed light on the strained relationships within the Markle family, underscoring the complexities surrounding the couple’s public image and personal struggles.
As tensions simmer in Montecito, the repercussions of Harry and Meghan’s actions continue to reverberate, casting a shadow over their once-idyllic neighborhood.
