Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not acquaintances in Montecito. The couple has settled in California after leaving the British royal family, and is trying to build a professional empire. But according to a recent article in Vanity Fair, their neighbors aren't taking them to heart.
In 2020, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry surprised the world by deciding to retire from the royal family. According to them, it was a decision they made because of the behavior of some members of the crown and the media harassment Meghan was subjected to. They then flew to the United States where they have lived for the past five years in Montecito, California. The Sussex couple then embarked on a number of projects, notably through their Archewell Foundation and with partnerships such as Netflix and Spotify, which produced the Harry & Meghan miniseries and the Duchess of Sussex podcast.
Prince Harry's wife recently announced the launch of her cookery show, With Love, Meghan. The series, which was originally planned for January 15, 2025, was postponed to March 4 due to the devastating California wildfires. The show, which will air on Netflix, will feature recipes, gardening tips and discussions with prestigious guests.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's neighbours are breaking their silence about the couple's behaviour.
Everyday life away from the hustle and bustle of the Crown, which now seems to suit the Sussex couple perfectly. Five years after their departure from the UK, the US version of Vanity Fair is taking stock and featuring a special issue on them. The article looks at a range of issues including their career ambitions, their media plans and their adjustment to life in California.
Among the revelations in the article are those of several neighbors of the couple from Montecito who express their displeasure. Some of them confided in the magazine and criticized Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for their sometimes inappropriate behavior. "They think they can do whatever they want," one neighbor was quoted in Vanity Fair.
The atmosphere in the neighborhood has reportedly changed since the couple's arrival, and residents are uncomfortable with the large number of tourists arriving on their street. What's more, since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have moved in, property prices have soared: "They left England to avoid press attention, and all they do is try to get the word out about them in the United States," the magazine reported.
Residents have made no secret of their anger, claiming Meghan and Harry are "the most hypocritical people on Earth". An everyday life that seems difficult for the locals. | BGNES
