Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have repeatedly expressed their happiness about stepping down as senior members of the British royal family in 2020 and relocating to Montecito, California.
They’ve emphasized that they are thriving in their new life. However, recent reports suggest otherwise, pointing to their ongoing struggles with failed projects, tense relations with their neighbors, and claims that Hollywood is tiring of them.
Meghan and Harry Eye a Second Home Near Hollywood
Despite their large 14,500-square-foot mansion in Montecito, reports indicate that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now looking to purchase a second home closer to Hollywood. Their primary reason for this move is the desire to be nearer to events, parties, and A-list celebrities.
Sources claim that the couple has been frustrated by the long drives from Montecito to Hollywood, which have prompted them to consider finding a place closer to the city. The couple is also reportedly seeking more access to the social scene. Meghan, who may return to acting soon, wants to be more integrated into Hollywood’s entertainment world.
Areas such as Brentwood, Bel Air, Malibu, and Calabasas are said to be on their radar. Calabasas, in particular, could bring them closer to Kris Jenner, but their past conflicts with the Kardashians—particularly after they allegedly forced Kris Jenner to remove photos of them from her 70th birthday celebration—might complicate that relationship.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Relationship with Montecito Neighbors
Although there are no reports of active feuds, it seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not exactly beloved by their Montecito neighbors. According to sources, locals are choosing to keep their distance from the couple, which suggests that their integration into the community has not been as smooth as hoped.
Despite their public image of success and thriving in California, it seems that the Sussexes are facing challenges in both their personal lives and their relationships within the Hollywood and Montecito communities.
