Rob Lowe’s Candid Take on Meghan Markle Sparks Controversy

Hollywood actor Rob Lowe has been a long-time resident of Montecito, California, for over 26 years, where he happens to have Oprah Winfrey as one of his neighbors.

In the latest episode of his Netflix show, “Unstable,” Lowe appears to subtly throw shade at Meghan Markle.

The episode concludes with Alison Davis capturing a peculiar image that sheds light on the ongoing chaos, setting the stage for the next episode featuring Ellis Dragon and his team tackling a viral Time magazine cover.

Recent speculations suggest that Meghan Markle's discontent with how she was depicted in her interview with The Cut has led to the journalist responsible for the piece being placed on unpaid leave.

Journalist Alison P. Davis's article dived into Markle's life in Montecito, dropping veiled references to her time as a senior royal.

Allegedly, Markle's dissatisfaction with the article has resulted in the writer's forced hiatus from work.

In an interview with E!

News, Rob Lowe openly discussed the impact of Prince Harry and Meghan's presence in the neighborhood.

Lowe remarked, “They definitely have brought a lot of attention to my sleepy little town.

Let me tell you something, once the royals move into your neighborhood, the neighborhood is never going to be the same again.”

Despite living nearby, Lowe admitted to encountering Prince Harry only once, highlighting the noticeable surge in Montecito's popularity following Oprah's relocation.

However, claims made by Lowe prompted an investigation by Insider, aiming to verify his statements.

Echoing Lowe's sentiments, a Twitter user shared their experience in Montecito, concurring with the disruption caused by the royal couple's presence.

The arrival of Harry and Meghan was perceived as an unwelcome intrusion in a community valued for its tranquility and privacy, attracting unwanted attention.

Moreover, the Daily Mail supported Lowe's viewpoint, reporting on Harry's return to California from London.

In the comments section, a local criticized the couple's presence in Montecito, emphasizing the discontent among neighbors towards them.

The individual highlighted instances where residents expressed their disapproval of Harry and Meghan's activities in the area.
