Meghan Markle is reportedly facing some backlash from her neighbors in Montecito, California. According to a recent German documentary, Harry: The Lost Prince, Meghan’s neighbors are not shy about expressing their displeasure, with some calling her an “un-neighborly” figure. Richard Mineards, one of the neighbors, shared his thoughts with the filmmakers, stating, “I personally don’t think that Meghan is an asset to our community… She doesn’t really go out or get involved with the community.”
Despite these comments, a source close to Meghan has dismissed the criticisms as “absurd.” The source emphasized that while Meghan might not be heavily involved with the local community, she is very social within her circle of friends and is an active member of the Polo Club, where she is part of an exclusive celebrity group in Hollywood.
Meghan and Prince Harry relocated to Montecito in 2020, moving into a sprawling nine-bedroom estate on the Pacific coast after stepping down from their royal duties in the UK. Although Meghan appreciates the beauty of Montecito, the source revealed that the neighborhood’s vibe doesn’t quite match her social preferences. “She always says how gorgeous it is, but the neighborhood vibe isn’t totally her speed,” the source added.
Additionally, the couple is reportedly considering a move to Los Angeles in 2025, seeking a social environment that aligns more with their lifestyle. Meghan is reportedly excited to see her husband, Prince Harry, enjoying time with new friends, including country music star Jelly Roll.
