Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Lavish Montecito Mansion Up for Sale Amidst Neighbors’ Frustrations

Reports have emerged suggesting that and may be selling their extravagant £11m home in Montecito.

It appears that their neighbors have reached their limit with the couple, prompting them to consider a more modestly priced £3m dwelling in Malibu.

Last September, the Sussexes decided against purchasing land in order to build a massive 10,000 square foot home.

However, it seems that their current residence, which boasts nine bedrooms and was prominently featured on Netflix's tell-all series about the couple, is rarely occupied by the family of four, including their children and .

Barry Mayer, a local resident and PR expert who frequently appears on top TV programs, expressed growing frustration among residents due to Meghan and Harry's jet-setting lifestyle.

Although Harry and Meghan live nearby, their location is considerably more expensive.

Barry emphasized that while nobody in the area is living in cardboard boxes, the lack of sightings of the couple has led to a general feeling of indifference among locals.

Those who admire the couple appear to have boundless tolerance for them, regardless of their actions, often tied to the romantic notion of a handsome prince falling for a commoner.

On the other hand, many others are either unimpressed by the couple's constant travels or simply tired of hearing about them.

Last October, rumors circulated that was attempting to disrupt their planned move to Malibu because he preferred living in New York City.

The Sussexes have been frequently spotted in the Big Apple, with Harry seemingly captivated by its fast pace, culture, and social scene.

A close friend of Harry's revealed his fondness for New York, citing the convenience of an 8-hour flight compared to nearly 11 hours from Malibu.

Initially, Harry had been enthusiastic about the move to Malibu, as it was Meghan's idea, but now his desire for a change seems puzzling and illogical.

This revelation was shared by a confidant with Heat magazine.

In contrast, Meghan is keen to remain close to Los Angeles, where her career opportunities lie.

She frequently travels to LA for work meetings multiple times a week, and it appears that her workload will only increase as their projects gain momentum.

A source disclosed that Meghan values face-to-face interactions in order to establish meaningful relationships, which would be easier to achieve if they were closer to Hollywood.

However, she understands Harry's longing to reconnect with his family and friends.

Fortunately, the couple seems to have found a compromise on this matter.

The insider mentioned in October that perhaps once they have achieved success in Hollywood, they can consider purchasing a place in New York.

Previously, the Express reported that Meghan's lifestyle had angered the locals, with one of their Montecito neighbors describing her as arrogant and expressing eagerness for her departure.

The Sussexes' reputation among the community is far from favorable, with Meghan's attitude being a particular bone of contention.

According to a recent survey, Meghan received disapproval from 33% of respondents, while 31% approved, resulting in an overall net approval rating of minus two.

This represents an eight-point decline from the outlet's previous poll conducted in June.

On the other hand, Harry, according to a Newsweek survey, was liked by 39% of respondents and disliked by 27%, giving him a net approval rating of 12.

This also marks a decrease from the previous poll, where he had a plus 18 rating.

As rumors swirl about the potential sale of their Montecito mansion, Meghan and Harry find themselves navigating the complexities of their living arrangements.

While their current home has become a source of frustration for their neighbors, the couple aims to strike a balance between Meghan's career aspirations in LA and Harry's desire to reconnect with his roots.
