According to an unnamed source, the couple isn't particularly liked in the neighborhood due to what's perceived as their rude behavior. Harry's attitude, in particular, has irked some residents, with claims that he believes he can treat people however he likes, given his royal background.
An incident involving a beach house owner has added fuel to the fire. The owner, who owns one of the biggest properties in Montecito facing the ocean, reportedly gave Harry permission to access the beach through their land.
However, when the couple didn't show up as scheduled and kept delaying their visit, the owner had enough and told them not to bother. It seems Harry had requested private access to the beach, which is typically not allowed as California beaches are public, but sometimes obstructed by private properties with no public pathways.
The source speculated that the couple might have been trying to secure a photo shoot at the beach, given their history of accommodating photographers on their schedule. This incident also sparked rumors that the beach house owner in question could be billionaire Mark Cuban, who owns a lavish vacation home in Laguna Beach.
Additionally, reports have emerged suggesting that the couple's constant demands for expenses, trying to live for free, may have contributed to the alleged end of their podcast deal with Spotify.
It appears that Meghan's punctuality has also been a point of contention, with claims that she's frequently late for events, even though she claims to dislike being tardy. Allegedly, this caused awkward moments at public appearances, such as arriving late at a funeral attended by former Prime Minister Theresa May and being the last to arrive at the Jubilee event.
The couple's behavior and alleged requests for freebies have sparked controversies, leading to mixed feelings among their neighbors and raising questions about their future plans.
