Montecito Neighbor Reveals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Rarely Occupy £11 Million Home

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering selling their £11 million mansion in Montecito, as per claims made by neighbors.

The royal couple is said to spend minimal time at the lavish 9-bedroom property, with rumors circulating that they are eyeing a £3 million home in Malibu for their next move.

According to sources, the absence of Harry and Meghan from their Montecito residence has led to frustration among locals, who are growing weary of what they describe as the couple's “travelling soap opera.”

Barry Mayer, a resident and PR expert in the neighborhood, disclosed that although Harry and Meghan live nearby in a more upscale area, their current mansion remains unoccupied.

He mentioned that the community's attitude towards the couple seems to reflect the general sentiment across the United States.

Supporters of Harry and Meghan display unwavering admiration, often tied to the allure of a prince marrying a commoner, while others are simply fatigued by the constant media coverage surrounding the duo.

Residents of Montecito have expressed a desire for the town to be less frequently associated with the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, indicating a growing weariness with their high-profile status.

Last October, reports emerged suggesting that Prince Harry was initially resistant to the idea of relocating to Malibu, favoring a potential move to New York City instead.

The prospect of living in the bustling metropolis appealed to Harry, with sources citing the vibrant culture and social scene as key factors influencing his preference.

Despite initial enthusiasm for the Malibu relocation, recent developments indicate a shift in Harry's stance, prompting speculation about the couple's future plans.

Sources close to the pair revealed that Harry now appears inclined towards purchasing a property in New York, a decision that has perplexed many observers given the couple's previous interest in the California lifestyle.

The prolonged vacancy of their Montecito mansion has raised doubts about the feasibility of selling the property, which has been on the market for an extended period without attracting potential buyers.

Notably, the mansion's association with Meghan's aspirations for Ellen DeGeneres to acquire the property has not materialized, underscoring the challenges faced in offloading the luxurious estate.

Furthermore, revelations surrounding the couple's use of a different high-end property for filming purposes, despite the availability of their own residence, have sparked curiosity and speculation within the community.

The decision to rent a staged property for filming, purportedly due to security concerns, has added a layer of intrigue to the ongoing saga surrounding Harry and Meghan's real estate ventures.
