Montecito is renowned for its 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 this upscale Santa Barbara community, Behati Prinsloo embraced a boho chic look with a light blue wrap dress and sleek sunglasses while carrying her bag.
However, during her time in Montecito, she witnessed an unusual incident involving Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan allegedly approached a police officer and made a peculiar request, asking the officer to buy her a Starbucks. The officer declined the request, leaving Behati Prinsloo surprised by the unusual exchange.
It's worth noting that in the United States, there is no royal family, and it's not customary for police officers to fulfill such requests. Meghan Markle proceeded to ask the officer questions about her behavior and expectations in the community. This incident follows other reports of Meghan and Harry causing disturbances in the neighborhood, such as turning away an elderly Navy veteran neighbor, which attracted media attention and paparazzi presence.
Meghan and Harry moved to Montecito in 2020, making headlines in the quiet town populated by numerous celebrities. Notably, it appears that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have distanced themselves from some longtime friends and famous acquaintances. Reports suggest that Harry currently maintains only a small circle of six friends in the UK, and his close friends have distanced themselves due to disagreements.
One example of a falling out is their friendship with David and Victoria Beckham, which soured after they accused the singer of leaking information to the media. Relationship experts suggest that Harry and Meghan are seeking a close-knit inner circle of trusted confidants to navigate their unique circumstances, as they have become somewhat unpopular among their Hollywood friends. This shift in their social circle could be a reflection of their changing lifestyles and priorities, as they adapt to their new life away from royal commitments and the intense public scrutiny.
