LA Billionaires Shun Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Forcing Them Out of Montecito
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who moved to Montecito in California after stepping down from royal duties, have reportedly been kicked out of the luxurious community by some of their billionaire neighbors.
Lady Colin Campbell, a local commentator, claimed that the couple has failed to fit in with their rich neighbors, with one billionaire even saying, “everybody in Montecito hates them.”
The Sussexes are known for causing chaos in the gated Los Angeles community by attracting paparazzi, helicopters, tourists, and fans swarming the neighborhood.
According to a tabloid, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are the worst neighbors ever in the community.
People pay millions to live there because it's beautiful, private, and peaceful, but with Harry and Meghan around, it's become total chaos.
The tabloid adds that Markle and Prince Harry have been downright cold to neighbors, on top of creating a nuisance.

They keep to themselves and aren't the slightest bit friendly, says a supposed neighbor.
While Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ellen DeGeneres also reside in Montecito near the Duke and Duchess, other neighbors are actually moving out in droves.
Billionaire Peter Sperling is the latest neighbor of Harry and Meghan's to leave town.
In fact, he sold two properties less than a year after the royals moved to the neighborhood.
According to the Daily Mail, in February, Sperling sold one of his properties in the area for $16.3 million.
Just a few months later, in April, he sold his seven-bedroom, 13-bathroom Montecito mansion for $19 million.
But Sperling is far from the only person who has sold their property in Santa Barbara since the royals' arrival.
Roblo also made his departure from the neighborhood in October 2020.
The actor sold his estate for $45.5 million, per the Wall Street Journal, just $1.5 million under the asking price, and he had something to say about Harry and Meghan's move to his sleepy little town.
In a May interview with the News Daily Pop, the actor opined, “Let me tell you something, once the royals move into your neighborhood, the neighborhood is never going to be the same.”
According to the Mirror, Harry and Meghan's arrival in Montecito drove up property values astronomically, so it would make sense that residents are choosing to sell their homes for as much as they can.
Interestingly enough, however, Sperling lost $6 million on his April sale, per the Daily Mail.
According to the Mirror, the Royal Foster Parel say that Sperling's current sales numbers are FAR from number one in the household values index, so they'll probably not be as successful with this rapture over Harry.
Despite the Sussexes' high-profile status, their neighbors seem to have had enough of them.
The couple has failed to fit in with the rich and famous in Montecito, and their presence has caused chaos in the community.
While some may argue that the couple's royal status has brought attention to the area, others believe that they are simply causing too much trouble.
The Sussexes have not responded to the reports of their eviction, but it is clear that they are not welcome in Montecito.
Their presence has caused a stir among the rich and famous, and it seems that the couple has failed to make any friends in the community.
While some may argue that the Sussexes should be given a chance to settle in, others believe that they are simply too much trouble.
Whatever the case may be, it is clear that the couple's presence in Montecito has caused quite a stir, and it remains to be seen where they will go next.
