Santa Barbara Community Warns Prince Harry And Meghan Markle To Stay Away

It looks like they won’t be getting a welcome basket from these neighbors anytime soon. There’s a new report that suggests one Santa Barbara community is warning Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to stay away.

That’s because they don’t want all of the paparazzi attention that they’ll most likely get, should the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decide to move into their neighborhood. And who can blame them, right? Here’s what you need to know.

Santa Barbara Community Warns Prince Harry And Meghan Markle To Stay Away

According to new reports, Harry and Meghan are looking to sell their $14 million dollar estate in Montecito, mostly because they can’t keep up with the bills anymore. Instead, they want to move into the more budget-friendly Hope Ranch in nearby Santa Barbara.

However, sources close to the situation says that residents in that community have made it clear that they don’t want the Sussexes there, as they don’t want their peace disturbed. They are afraid that the entire neighborhood will change the moment Harry and Meghan move in with their family.

One insider put it this way, “The people that made the calls to me don’t want change and they don’t want all the hoopla. People are not happy, that’s the word around town. They want them to stay in Montecito and not be drawing that kind of attention to Hope Ranch.”
