The Duke and Duchess of Desperation, seem to be learning the hard way that you can’t buy class or community acceptance, even with a $14 million mansion. I’ve been following this closely, and the latest development about their Montecito neighbors essentially saying, “Thanks, but no thanks” is just perfection. Can you imagine being so unlikable that your entire neighborhood starts a movement to get you to leave? And these aren’t just any neighbors, but some of the most elite, well-connected people in California!
Let’s talk about Richard Minard’s comment when he said, “Meghan isn’t an asset to the community.” I nearly fell off my chair laughing! Isn’t that the perfect summary of her entire post-Royal career? Has she been an asset to anything since leaving the Royal Family? The failed Spotify deal, the Netflix snoozefest, the children’s book that disappeared faster than her acting career? And now, they’re apparently eyeing Los Angeles? Honey, let me tell you why this is so delicious. Remember when they left the UK claiming they wanted privacy? Now, they’re considering moving closer to the paparazzi capital of the world. Make it make sense.
But we all know what this is really about—Meghan’s desperate need to be where the action is. Or should we say, where the cameras are? The timing of all this is particularly interesting when you compare it to what's happening with our beloved Princess of Wales. While Catherine is showing grace and dignity during her recovery, focusing on her health and family without any drama or attention-seeking behavior, Meghan is busy planning her next strategic move like it’s a Hollywood production.
Speaking of productions, let’s talk about this so-called “exclusive social circle” they claim to have. Their friends at the polo club—please! We all remember how quickly the Spotify and Netflix crowds dropped them once they realized these two had nothing interesting left to say. Now, they’re apparently trying to cozy up to country music stars. Jelly Roll seems like a lovely person, but this desperate attempt at social climbing is just embarrassing.
Now, here’s the real kicker: they’re trying to spin this exit from Montecito to make it sound like their choice. Their PR machine is working overtime to make it seem like they’re upgrading to Los Angeles, but let’s be real—when your neighbors are essentially showing you the door, that’s not an upgrade, that’s an eviction by social pressure.
And can we talk about the irony of them buying a vacation home in Portugal near Princess Beatrice? It’s like they’re trying to create their own little pseudo-Royal Court since they’ve been so thoroughly rejected by the real one. But here's the thing—you can’t buy your way back into Royal relevance. Just ask Sarah Ferguson about that.
The contrast between how they’re handling their social struggles and how the real Royals handle their responsibilities is staggering. While William and Catherine continue to serve with dignity and purpose, these two are playing musical mansions, trying to find a community that will accept them. Acceptance comes from how you behave, not where you live.
And can we talk about how their judgment is on full display here? They left the most prestigious family in the world, claiming they wanted a quiet private life, then moved to one of the most exclusive communities in America, failed to integrate, and are now considering moving to Los Angeles, the media epicenter they claimed to be escaping from. It’s almost too perfect.
Megan still wants to be close to the movers and shakers, showing that nothing has changed. She’s still the same social climber she was when she first set her sights on Harry. The difference now is that everyone can see it.
And let’s not forget Harry. From being a prince to essentially being pushed out of a California community—quite a fall from grace. William tried to warn him, didn’t he? But no, Harry knew better. Now, look where it’s got him.
It’s also laughable how their “exclusive” Hollywood circle is slowly distancing themselves. The Met Gala snub, the Hollywood parties they’re not invited to, and how they’re increasingly relegated to the B-list circuit. It’s becoming more and more apparent that no one wants to be associated with them.
Now, let’s talk about their children. Constantly moving them around with no stable community, no real connection to their Royal heritage—how sad. Compare that to William and Catherine, who provide a stable, loving environment for their children despite their Royal duties.
The neighbors’ complaints about them not being involved in the community are telling. It shows that all their talk about making a difference and being forces for change was just that—talk. They couldn’t even manage to be good neighbors, let alone change the world.
The fact that they’re considering Malibu is just perfect. It’s like they’re not even trying to hide their attention-seeking behavior anymore. Moving to one of the most paparazzi-heavy areas in the world and still claiming they want privacy? Right.
And here’s what’s really sad: they had everything. They had positions of real influence in the Royal Family, the respect of the British people, the support of the institution, and they threw it all away for what? To be rejected by their neighbors in Montecito and forced to relocate to Los Angeles?
The mention of them trying to get into the country music scene is just the cherry on top. From Royal garden parties to trying to schmooze with country stars—this is like a sad reality show where the main characters just don’t understand why their plan isn’t working.
