Residents of Montecito are reportedly making a swift exit from the neighborhood following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s arrival, with at least three A-listers selling their properties since the couple moved in.
According to reports from Globe, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have earned the unflattering title of “neighbors from hell” due to their alleged unfriendly demeanor.
One of the sold properties was acquired by a trust, indicating that it may remain unoccupied.
Sources claim that Prince Harry and Meghan have struggled to forge friendships in Beverly Hills, often opting to spend time exclusively with Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.
Reports suggest that the lack of social connections has led to a less-than-welcoming atmosphere in the neighborhood, contrary to expectations that their presence would attract more residents.
The negative perception surrounding the royal couple has tarnished their image, with insiders labeling them as “crybaby, money-grubbing, snooty show-offs.”
Even affluent individuals, who typically hold royalty in high regard, are reportedly eager to distance themselves from Prince Harry and Meghan.
The situation has raised concerns about safety and security within the neighborhood, particularly regarding potential stalkers targeting the couple.
Previous rumors of the couple being disruptive neighbors surfaced shortly after their relocation to Montecito, with complaints about noise and a perceived lack of interaction with other residents.
Observers noted that Prince Harry and Meghan maintain a guarded approach, rarely making eye contact while out with their dogs and displaying a protective attitude towards their son, Archie.
Despite having a dedicated security team, Prince Harry and Meghan’s apprehension about stalkers has prompted questions about the safety of the neighborhood’s other inhabitants.
While the couple enjoys protection, concerns linger about the vulnerability of those without similar safeguards.
The unease among residents has further fueled the narrative of the couple’s strained relationship with their neighbors.
In a recent sighting, Prince Harry was spotted riding an electric bike through the streets of Montecito, marking his first public appearance following the widely-discussed interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The Duke of Sussex, accompanied by a security detail, navigated the neighborhood as onlookers observed his movements.
The outing comes amidst ongoing speculations and controversies surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan’s presence in Montecito.
