Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix documentary has sparked controversy after it was revealed that the $27 million home used as a backdrop for their interview was not actually their own.

Many viewers had assumed that the couple's personal chats took place in their $11 million Montecito, California residence, but it turns out the property belongs to Mark Shuloff, who was involved in a multi-million dollar fraud scam.

Shuloff had previously been charged with defrauding disabled United States veterans, resulting in him being forced to pay around £23 million in damages.

The luxurious house, spanning 13,599 square feet and boasting six bedrooms, including one in a guest house, as well as a massive private cinema, is located at the extravagant address of 888 Lilac Lane, just a minute away from Harry and Meghan's comparatively modest abode.

Currently listed for sale through Riskin Partners Estate Group, the property has attracted attention and criticism on social media.

Twitter users expressed their outrage, accusing the Sussexes of being tone-deaf and misleading the audience by presenting the house as their own.

One user commented on Meghan and Harry's alleged fakeness, pointing out discrepancies in their stories, photos, and statements about the royal family.

Another user remarked on the irony of even the house being fake, while a third criticized the couple for substituting their own story and truth with stock photos, videos, and other people's homes.

In another incident, Larry M. Jewell, host of The Morning Show, confronted his co-host Sally Bowery after she appeared to swear live on air while discussing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The pair were discussing the $49 million mansion where the couple filmed their series, which is currently up for sale.

Bowery expressed her disbelief, questioning why Meghan would be sitting in a stranger's house.

M. Jewell called her out for swearing, prompting Bowery to deny doing so.

The exchange became tense, with M. Jewell emphasizing the importance of maintaining a respectful morning program.

Two years ago, when Prince Harry and Meghan decided to step away from their royal duties and move to the US, they purchased an estate in Monsito, California, where they currently reside with their two children.

However, for their Netflix documentary, they chose to film in a different property.

This fake home, available for purchase at a staggering $33.5 million, has only added fuel to the fire of criticism and accusations directed at the couple, including those from Meghan Markle's half-sister and others.

While the series has garnered significant attention, the revelation that the couple was not actually in their own home during filming is likely to perpetuate the skepticism and distrust surrounding them.

The fake house used for the documentary will undoubtedly become the subject of much interest, as whoever acquires it will have an intriguing story to tell.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan's actual residence, located just three and a half miles away, is even larger, spanning 19,000 square feet on 7.4 acres.

With nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a pool, tennis courts, a playground, and even a chicken coop, their real home is a true testament to their opulent lifestyle.
