Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s neighbors have allegedly been fleeing Montecito because they don’t want to live close to the couple.
In its Nov. 22 issue, Globe claimed that at least three A-listers residing in the neighborhood already sold their properties since Prince Harry and Markle moved in.
One of the three properties was sold to a trust, which means that no one might ever move into the home.
A source claimed that a lot of people thought that more people would buy a property in the area because they want to live close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But to everyone’s surprise, the exact opposite was what happened.
“The way people seem to be in a rush to move away from Harry and Meghan is a real black eye for the couple. It shows that instead of being viewed as classy, they’re looking like they’re tacky,” a source said.
The insider also claimed that everything that Prince Harry and Markle have been doing is painting them negatively. So, even the wealthy people that they know don’t want anything to do with them.
“Everything they do paints them as crybaby, money-grubbing, snooty show-offs. Now, even wealthy people who normally fawn and gush over royalty – apparently can’t wait to move out of their neighborhood,” the source said.
This isn’t the first time that Prince Harry and Markle were rumored to be neighbors from hell.
Shortly after they relocated to Montecito, tabloids claimed that the couple’s neighbors were upset because of all the noise that they brought into the neighborhood.
Since a lot of people wanted to catch a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, there were allegedly cars and tour buses everywhere in the neighborhood.
There were also, allegedly, renovations and some areas had to be closed down to prevent visitors from entering. The blockage resulted in stress among the residents because they needed to find alternative routes just to get out of the property.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. After all, there is a slew of reasons why Montecito residents are opting to sell their properties. And these reasons may not have anything to do with Prince Harry and Markle.
The couple has been adamant at saying that they moved to the United States to be ordinary citizens so it’s unlikely for them to be causing problems in their neighborhood.
