The prestigious annual Tiara Ball hosted by the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Foundation (CHF) once again made headlines for excluding Meghan and Harry from its guest list.

This exclusion further solidifies Meghan’s standing within the community, indicating a lack of appreciation from organizations in Santa Barbara and Montecito towards her.

The CHF’s Tiara Ball is not just a glamorous event but also a significant fundraiser dedicated to supporting and expanding the hospital’s healthcare services.

In 2020, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital was recognized as one of the top hospitals in the country, ranking 135th nationwide and 22nd in California.

The evening was a sight to behold, with distinguished guests dressed in their finest attire, showcasing a blend of elegance and sophistication.

The event was graced by notable personalities such as Susie and Riley Batchetel, Christine and Rhys Duker, and many more, adding to the grandeur of the occasion.

While Meghan and Harry were absent from the guest list, having relocated to California in 2020, they have been making headlines for their lavish lifestyle and public appearances.

Despite their claims of contributing significantly to society, they have been dubbed as the Princess of Montecito by locals.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been spotted enjoying the luxuries of California, frequenting upscale restaurants and indulging in outdoor activities.

However, their absence from events like the Tiara Ball has raised questions about their integration into the local community.

As the community comes together to raise funds for the hospital’s critical care services, the Tiara Ball serves as a testament to the strength and generosity of the people.

The goal this year is to raise over $500,000 to support the expansion of the Emergency Department at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

The expanded Emergency Department aims to double its capacity and introduce a new care model to enhance patient care and reduce waiting times.

The contributions from the event will play a crucial role in providing essential healthcare services to those in need, both now and in the future.

Since its inception, the Tiara Ball has raised over $7 million to support critically ill and injured individuals, emphasizing the community’s commitment to healthcare initiatives.

The event stands as a symbol of unity and compassion, reflecting the spirit of giving that defines the Santa Barbara community.
