Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were spotted looking quite unsettled as they made their way out of an office building in Santa Barbara, California.
Their demeanor hinted at the stress they’ve been under recently, particularly after reaching out to Princess Eugenie for assistance following the loss of their Montecito mansion last year.
Accompanied by a man who appeared to be a bodyguard, the couple seemed to be grappling with their current circumstances.
Sources close to the couple suggest that Meghan has developed a mindset where she expects people to go out of their way to accommodate her desires.
This attitude seems to stem from their recent struggles, especially now that they’ve lost their residence in the UK.
With that chapter behind them, Meghan appears to be on the lookout for someone else to provide her with what she wants.
Reports indicate that Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have recently acquired properties from Mike Maldman, who is managing the Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club development.
This acquisition may explain why Meghan and Harry had initially planned to split their time between the UK and Portugal earlier this year.
Rumors also swirl that Eugenie and Jack own a substantial mansion in New York, which could be another reason why the Sussexes are eager to connect with them.
In a surprising twist, Meghan reportedly asked Jack if he could lend them his New York house for free.
However, Jack informed her that the property is currently rented out for $3,000 a month.
While this might seem like a bargain compared to the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in New York, Meghan’s insistence on free accommodation raises eyebrows.
It appears she pressured Harry to persuade his cousin to bend the rules for them.
Critics have begun to voice their frustrations, suggesting that anyone contacted by the Sussexes should reconsider their communication with them.
The disdain for their perceived entitlement is palpable, as many feel that the couple has squandered opportunities on superficial pursuits rather than addressing their financial realities.
Concerns have been raised about how their children will navigate life with parents who many describe as dishonest and opportunistic.
According to an English biographer, the financial challenges facing Harry and Meghan are significant.
They have reportedly overspent on luxury items that far exceed their income.
This situation has led to a precarious financial position, leaving them between a rock and a hard place as they try to maintain their lifestyle.
Adding to their woes, it has been confirmed that the couple has vacated Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, six months after King Charles III requested them to leave.
Their possessions have been shipped back to California, and the keys have been returned just in time to meet the deadline.
The timing certainly raises questions about their planning and foresight.
Despite their attempts to re-establish themselves in the U.S., some observers doubt their credibility.
There are whispers that Eugenie and Jack are wary of any potential backlash from the Sussexes, especially given their past critiques of the royal family.
Many believe that Harry and Meghan have lost the trust of those around them.
On a more personal note, Harry’s visa situation has also come under scrutiny.
As he resides in the U.S., there are concerns about whether he is fulfilling the necessary requirements of his visa.
With three years having passed since he first moved, speculation abounds regarding his status and future in America.
On the fashion front, Meghan was seen sporting a white button-up shirt tucked into brown shorts, accessorized with a stylish white hat, sunglasses, and layered bracelets.
