Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 11 million pound mansion in Montecito has been left vacant for years, according to a neighbour.

The couple, who are rarely seen at home, are now rumored to be considering selling the property and moving to a 3 million pound house in Malibu.

Neighbours have grown tired of their constant travels, referring to it as a “travelling soap opera.”

Barry Mayer, a PR and communications expert living down the street from Harry and Meghan, shared his observations with the Mirror.

He mentioned that although the couple resides in a more expensive area, their absence has become a topic of discussion among locals.

Mayer further commented on the differing opinions within the community, stating that those who admire the couple seem to have boundless tolerance, while others are unimpressed or simply exhausted by the constant media attention.

Residents in Montecito are becoming increasingly weary of the Harkles and would prefer their town not to be constantly associated with the couple.

This sentiment has grown since Prince Harry reportedly attempted to hinder their move to Malibu last October, expressing his desire to relocate to New York City instead.

The Duke apparently enjoyed the fast-paced lifestyle, cultural offerings, and social scene of the Big Apple.

Moreover, living in New York would make it easier for him to visit his family in London, with a flight from there taking only 8 hours compared to the almost 11-hour journey from Malibu.

It is peculiar that Prince Harry now seems to want to abandon the California lifestyle and suggests purchasing a property in New York.

A source close to the couple revealed to Heat magazine that Harry’s sudden change of heart appears illogical and may even be an attempt to sabotage their plans.

Despite this, it remains uncertain whether they will be able to sell their current mansion, known as the Olive Garden, as it has been on the market for years.

Meghan had even hoped that Ellen DeGeneres would be interested in buying it, but no suitable offers have emerged so far.

Interestingly, when the couple’s Netflix series was released, it was discovered that they had used a different, more expensive home for filming.

This property, which was already up for sale, was fully furnished and provided a suitable backdrop for their production.

The actual real estate listing clearly showed that it was the same house featured in the series.

The couple may argue that they chose not to film in their own home for security reasons.

In conclusion, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s absence from their Montecito mansion has become a topic of discussion among neighbours.

Their plans to sell the property and potentially move to Malibu or New York have raised eyebrows within the community.

However, the fate of their current mansion remains uncertain, as it has struggled to attract buyers despite being on the market for years.
