A new rumor circulating on social media suggests that Meghan Markle may be indirectly responsible for the increase in crime in Montecito, California.
The speculation originated from a comment posted by Bears Lair on the Instagram account MarkleNews1.
According to the rumor, incidents such as burglary and break-ins have surged since Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, moved to the gated community in 2020.
Montecito is renowned for housing numerous celebrities, and the couple’s high-profile presence has attracted constant media attention.
Meghan’s continuous complaints about privacy invasion, despite actively seeking publicity for her brand, have reportedly irritated the local community.
Moreover, it is alleged that criminals from outside the area have been drawn to Montecito due to the media frenzy surrounding the couple.
One notable celebrity resident, actress Meg Ryan, is said to be furious with Prince Harry and Meghan for disrupting the tranquility of the neighborhood.
Ryan had chosen Montecito as her new home precisely because of its peaceful atmosphere.
However, the arrival of the Sussexes has brought unwanted paparazzi, helicopters, reporters, and even tourists to the once-quiet enclave, according to an insider quoted by the National Enquirer.
The source further revealed that Ryan’s decision to purchase a property in Montecito was based on assurances that the upscale neighborhood was “paparazzi-proof.”
Unfortunately, this no longer seems to be the case.
Despite this setback, Ryan is determined to make Montecito her permanent residence and hopes to establish a harmonious relationship with the famous couple.
In addition to the community disturbances caused by their presence, Meghan and Harry have also found themselves embroiled in conflicts with other high-profile individuals.
One such feud involves A-list couple Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.
Allegedly, Meghan has harbored resentment towards Katy for five years ever since she criticized Meghan’s wedding dress in 2018.
Meanwhile, Harry is reportedly upset with Orlando for voicing him in the now-canceled adult animated series, “The Prince.”
During an appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast, “Armchair Expert,” Harry disclosed that he and Orlando often inform each other about the presence of photographers in the area.
Just recently, Bloom sent Harry a photograph taken by his security team, revealing an individual lying in the back of a blacked-out 4×4 truck with a beanie on and airpods in, capturing images of the couple and their child.
Harry expressed his disbelief at such invasive behavior and questioned its acceptability.
While Montecito’s crime rate continues to be a topic of concern, it remains uncertain whether Meghan Markle’s presence is directly responsible for the reported increase.
The rumors circulating on social media should be taken with caution, as they are based on speculation and opinions rather than concrete evidence.
Nevertheless, the impact of the couple’s fame and the subsequent attention they attract cannot be denied, leaving locals and fellow celebrities grappling with the consequences of living in a community under constant scrutiny.
