A year later, they welcomed their daughter Lilibet. In their bid to protect their young children from the media, the couple do their best to film and plan events outside of the property.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Met With Rising Property Taxes In California
Life in Montecito is good, if you’ve got £100k to pay in property taxes every year. This is outside of the money that the house will probably require for its annual maintenance.
However, with their Netflix contract, Meghan’s soon-to-be launched lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, Harry’s memoir and other channels the couple have invested time and money in, paying the cost is probably not a problem.
The price has been steadily rising since the couple moved in four years ago. In 2021, they paid $141,000 (£108,000).
In 2022, Santa Barbara records showed that the bill increased to $144,000 (£110,000). In 2023, the bill was further increased to $146,600 (£112,000), which Harry and Meghan opted to pay for in two installments.
This is coming amid rumors that Harry is planning to make a comeback to the UK to resume his royal activities. The rumors say he reached out to former friends and aides to help him engineer his comeback in an operation allegedly called, “Bring Harry in from the Cold.”
