The Sussexes are seeking significant changes in their lives, especially after losing their multi-million dollar contract with Spotify. Financially, they have been feeling the strain, and downsizing seems like a logical solution to reduce expenses and alleviate some of the financial pressure. However, if they are unable to sell their house, it could potentially exacerbate their financial woes.
When Harry and Meghan stepped back from their working relationship with the royal family in 2020, they likely didn't anticipate the challenges that came with their pursuit of financial independence. In the UK, they would have enjoyed the financial support of King Charles, but in California, they must rely on their own income, which has proved to be demanding and stressful.
Reports have surfaced claiming that moving trucks have been spotted at the Montecito Mansion, suggesting that the couple might be preparing to leave. According to Crystal Martin, who claims to have multiple sources, the Sussexes have allegedly already sold their house and have been living separately for some time.
They have been exploring other areas to settle, considering locations closer to Hollywood where they could potentially find more job opportunities. However, not all communities are welcoming the idea of having Harry and Meghan as neighbors.
Hope Ranch in Santa Barbara, an area of interest for the couple, reportedly has residents concerned about the potential media attention they might bring. Some locals have expressed their desire for the Sussexes to stay in Montecito to avoid drawing attention to Hope Ranch.
Similarly, the Malibu area, which was once rumored as a possible choice for Harry and Meghan, has seen a decline in popularity, with Bethany Frankel voicing her objections to their presence.
It seems that the couple's behavior has also impacted their relationship with their current neighbors. Frank McGinnity, a U.S. Navy veteran living in the same area as Harry and Meghan, tried to extend a friendly gesture with a gift, but it was met with disinterest. The gate staff reportedly declined the gift on behalf of the couple, who apparently showed little interest in being neighborly.
As the speculation continues, the future remains uncertain for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are navigating the challenges of both selling their mansion and finding a new place to call home.
