This upscale Santa Barbara community is home to various high-profile residents, including Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and many others.
During a recent outing in Montecito, Behati Prinsloo sported a boho-chic look with a light blue wrap dress and sleek sunglasses. While shopping, she paused to enjoy a glass of green juice and carried her bag. However, during this visit, Behati witnessed Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, involved in unusual interactions with Montecito police.
Allegedly, Meghan approached a police officer and requested that he buy her a Starbucks, a request the officer declined, surprising Behati. She overheard the exchange and found Meghan's behavior rather unexpected. In America, where there is no royal family, it's not customary for police officers to fulfill such requests.
Meghan also reportedly asked the officer questions about her behavior and expectations within the community. This incident adds to previous reports concerning Meghan and Harry's interactions in Montecito, where they were accused of causing disturbances in the neighborhood. These disturbances included turning away an elderly Navy veteran neighbor and attracting media attention and paparazzi.
Harry and Meghan relocated to Montecito in 2020, creating quite a buzz in the quiet town, known for its celebrity residents. It's worth noting that there have been reports of a rift between Harry and Meghan and some of their longtime friends. In April, it was suggested that Harry only had six close friends left in the UK and that some had chosen not to confront him when he made questionable decisions.
Former close friends like David and Victoria Beckham were reportedly at odds with the couple, accusing the singer of leaking information to the media. Relationship experts suggest that Harry and Meghan are seeking a trustworthy inner circle as they navigate their new life. They may have become unpopular with their Hollywood friends and are being ignored by them, causing them to prioritize their relationships and say goodbye to some old friends.
As Harry and Meghan's lifestyles undergo significant changes, they appear to be reshaping their friendship circle, aiming to confide in and trust a tight-knit group of people. This shift reflects their pursuit of a fresh start and a new chapter in their lives.
