Frank McGinty, who has been living next to the Sussexes since their arrival in 2020, tried to extend a neighborly welcome by offering them films he had made about the local area. However, things did not go as planned.
In a chapter of his memoir titled "Get off Your Street," Mr. McGinty shared that he approached their home with the films on a CD, but the couple's security guard at the gate turned him away, stating they were not interested.
The veteran, who lives just a stone's throw away from the Sussexes' property in the wealthy enclave of Montecito, expressed surprise at their response, saying they don't see the couple around the area very often.
Meghan and Harry settled into their California home back in July 2020, and the property is said to be worth $17 million. A spokesperson for the couple stated that they have embraced the quiet privacy of their community and hope for their neighbors' respect and consideration for their family.
Since stepping down as senior working Royals in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have relocated to Montecito, but their move has faced scrutiny. One Royal expert claimed that they are experiencing a crisis of identity, purpose, and finance, questioning what they are doing and what their future holds.
Reports have also emerged about Prince Harry reaching out to his estranged brother, Prince William, to plan a return to the UK amid rumors that he and Meghan are concerned about their future in America. While the reasons for their move to the U.S include Meghan's mother living there and Princess Diana's connection to North America, the rift between the Sussexes and the British royal family remains a subject of speculation.
It's important to note that all of this information is based on claims and reports, and the true extent of the Sussexes' relationship with their neighbors and the British royal family might differ from what is being reported. The situation continues to be a matter of interest and discussion among royal watchers and the public.
