Meghan and Harry Face Criticism in Montecito, Eyeing Move to Los Angeles
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are reportedly considering a move to Los Angeles after facing harsh criticism from their neighbours in Montecito.
The couple, already familiar with the spotlight, has been subjected to scorn from local residents, with their neighbours taking aim at their behavior. According to sources, the Sussexes are exploring a potential relocation to Los Angeles, seeking a fresh start after a German documentary titled *Harry: The Lost Prince* shed light on negative remarks made by those living nearby.
In the documentary, Meghan was singled out as being particularly distant from the community. Richard Mineards, a local resident, stated, “I personally don’t think Meghan is an asset to our community… She doesn’t really go out or get involved with the community.”
While an insider close to the couple has dismissed these accusations, calling them “absurd,” and insisting that Meghan is very social, the tension is undeniable. The source explained that Meghan has friends at the Polo Club and associates within an exclusive circle of celebrities and Hollywood elites. Despite this, they acknowledged that the criticism from neighbours still stings. "Meghan still loves Montecito and always talks about how gorgeous it is," the source continued, "but the neighbourhood vibe isn’t totally her speed."
In addition to the neighbourhood drama, there are also claims that Harry and Meghan are on the lookout for a more A-list social circle, and some royal experts speculate that the couple is seeking to mend ties with the royal family. This could involve spending part of the year in Europe, where they have recently acquired a property in Portugal—near where Harry’s cousin, Princess Beatrice, and her husband enjoy their summers.
