This potential mansion boasts approximately 10,000 square feet of space and, if acquired, would serve as their primary residence. Already on the property are a guard house, a pool, seating terraces, and fire pits, although constructing a new home could entail an additional £8 million in expenses.
This decision follows complaints from their current neighbors in Montecito, Santa Barbara, where their presence has stirred frustration among locals. Paparazzi photographers and the constant presence of helicopters have disrupted the peace and privacy of the community, leaving residents disgruntled.
The contemplated Malibu property would position the Sussexes less than an hour away from Los Angeles, providing them access to celebrity neighbors, including Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio and socialite Paris Hilton.
Interestingly, there have been rumors circulating that Meghan Markle is in search of a new home in Malibu to be closer to prominent figures like Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and Jeff Bezos. Speculations suggest she may have an interest in fostering connections with these affluent individuals, given her recent appearance in the same box as Ted and Jeff during a Beyonce concert.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Meghan has influenced Harry's decision to relocate to Malibu, with an ultimatum to accept the move or not. Royal commentator Angela Levin has noted that this significant change has taken a toll on Prince Harry, as he is reluctant to embrace the Hollywood lifestyle. He seems hesitant about leaving Montecito, and there is uncertainty about whether he will ultimately make the move.
Regarding their Montecito home, Levin mentioned that it was initially Meghan's dream house, as it fulfilled her childhood desire to live near the sea. However, her track record suggests she is rarely content with her surroundings, often seeking something new. According to Levin, Meghan tends to utilize situations and people until they no longer serve her purposes.
