Recently, a guided tour has gained attention, offering visitors a glimpse into the world of the Sussexes in their adopted hometown of Montecito. This tour, priced at 958 pounds for a group of six people, takes participants toward the Riven Rock estate and showcases various points of interest, including the couple's favorite local spots.
Interestingly, these tours are being organized by none other than Meghan Markle's former paparazzi team photographer, Carl Larsen. He is advertising his Royal celebrity tour of Los Angeles and Montecito online, claiming it has garnered the approval of Meghan's father, Thomas Markle. The tour encompasses a ride along the road leading to the Sussexes' 11 million-pound mansion and includes stops at places like Pierre Lafond, a restaurant trailoon, and the Santa Barbara Polo Club, where Harry made an appearance after a game last year. It also delves into Meghan's past, visiting her old homes and school in Los Angeles.
Carl Larsen has plans to expand the tour to Rosarito in Mexico, providing fans with an opportunity to meet Thomas Markle. Carl explained his motivation, stating, "I was in Rosarito Mexico when Megan first began dating Harry and soon got to know her father. I just want to share my experience with the many Harry and Megan supporters, and even those who might not be supportive but are a little curious."
However, there is a twist in the tale. Despite Montecito being a popular assumption, some evidence suggests that the Sussexes do not actually reside there. Speculation arose when a letter regarding a bicycle gift to Archie for his fourth birthday was attributed to a person named Harrison Colcord. This person was linked to the San Ysidro Ranch as their director of sales and marketing. The proximity of some of the Sussexes' excursions to San Ysidro has fueled speculation that they may have sold their Montecito home.
Adding to the intrigue, the Montecito house was listed for sale at a staggering 32.5 million dollars on October 18, 2021, by Randy Sicilian. It's rumored that the property has already changed hands. However, the puzzle remains: where have they been residing all this time?
In light of these uncertainties, the legitimacy of busloads of tourists roaming around Montecito comes into question. Some critics argue that Carl Larsen might be attempting to capitalize on the Sussexes' fame and that the tours are, for now, nothing more than a pipe dream. If the situation ever evolves, it's speculated that legal measures could be taken to halt such tours. Until then, the mystery of Meghan and Harry's true residence continues to intrigue.
