Meghan's perceived high-handed attitude has rubbed her neighbors the wrong way, leaving them eagerly awaiting her departure from Montecito. In a conversation with the Daily Express, one neighbor even described her as "high and mighty," expressing their anticipation for her to leave. These sentiments surfaced shortly after Meghan's own father, Thomas Markle, accused her of manipulating her husband, Prince Harry.
Recently, another Montecito neighbor came forward, revealing a list of rules purportedly authored by Meghan Markle herself, which sparked a wave of community backlash. The controversy further escalated when a local resident named Kimberly posted a photograph of these rather unusual rules displayed on a grand mansion's door, supposedly established by the Duchess of Sussex.
Kimberly's post made reference to these rules being imposed by Meghan Markle, which left many taken aback and prompted her to share it online. The list of demands outlined various restrictions, including a prohibition on locals initiating conversations with the royal couple, touching their dogs, or attempting to communicate with them through notes.
Some residents found these demands excessively stringent. Moreover, the rules discouraged locals from approaching or initiating conversations with Meghan and Harry unless it was instigated by the couple themselves. The rules also discouraged interactions with their dogs, such as offering to walk them or trying to meet their children, Archie and Lilibet. The list explicitly forbade posting anything through the letterbox of the Montecito Mansion.
Although Kimberly's post generated a brief but intense online reaction, it was swiftly deleted after just 30 minutes. However, the contents of the list did not go unnoticed by royal fans. Complaints ranged from the couple's dogs defecating in the area to Meghan's perceived arrogance, exemplified by the extensive set of rules.
Some neighbors even took the extraordinary step of filing a formal complaint with the authorities. There has been recent speculation that Meghan Markle may be partially responsible for the increase in crime in Montecito. On Instagram, Michael News 1 shared a comment from a user who went by the name "bears," allegedly from Reddit. According to this rumor, rising crimes such as burglary and break-ins coincided with Meghan's presence in Montecito.
Since Meghan and Harry moved to the area in 2020, they have been consistently in the media spotlight, often making complaints and raising issues about privacy, including interactions with paparazzi. This has led to frustration among locals. Furthermore, it's alleged that criminals from outside the town have been attracted to the area due to Meghan's constant desire to contact paparazzi. This situation has prompted some celebrities to sell their homes to protect their privacy.
Speaking of famous individuals, there are rumors circulating about a rift between the Sussexes and Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. Meghan has allegedly harbored resentment towards Katy for five years following her criticism of Meghan's wedding gown. Additionally, Orlando's portrayal of Prince Harry in the canceled animated series "The Prince" has reportedly left Harry upset with him.
