Meghan Markle and Prince Harry found a comfortable place to land after their royal exit took them to Canada and then Tyler Perry’s Los Angeles home. When they settled in Southern California, the Sussexes discovered Montecito the perfect area to raise their family. But now, they might be moving on.
After Meghan was unfairly bashed by one of her neighbors in the German documentary, Harry: The Lost Prince, she and Harry are reportedly considering a move 90 minutes south to Los Angeles, according to a source. “Meghan still loves Montecito, she always says how gorgeous it is, but the neighborhood vibe isn’t totally her speed,” the insider explained while noting that Meghan has found a community with “friends at the Polo Club and a very exclusive group of other celebs and Hollywood types that they hang around.”
The “busybodies” of the neighborhood might be enough to just push her out because its “small-town vibe” might not fit her family’s needs anymore. “[Montecito] is actually a vacation spot for a lot of people from L.A., so a lot of Meghan’s friends there aren’t around full-time,” the source added. They noted that Malibu is a possible option for Harry and Meghan as it’s on the “outskirts” of Los Angeles, but “closer to the action” of the entertainment industry.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were rumored to looking at Malibu real estate in September 2023. TMZ reported that Harry and Meghan toured an $8 million plot of land that offered them six acres of privacy and an ocean view. While they didn’t end up making that real estate move, they did scoop up a luxurious Portugal property in 2024 near Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, per the Express. Their new home is a part of the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club where Eugenie’s husband handles the marketing and sales.
If Harry and Meghan do decide to leave Montecito that would likely mean saying goodbye to their $14.65 million estate where they started their lives over after leaving the U.K. It would be a major move, but perhaps it would be the right one for Harry and Meghan, who have reshaped their careers in the last year.
