Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have drawn criticism from fellow Montecito residents who view them as "local villains." Living in their $14.65 million mansion since 2020, they are accused of contributing to inflated housing prices and attracting disruptive tourism. Unlike other celebrities who have blended more harmoniously into the community, the Sussexes are reportedly at odds with their neighbors. Locals express a desire for Montecito to remain off the celebrity radar, lamenting that the couple's presence has altered its once-quiet character, leading to discontent and resentment.
"I think everyone, including the A-list celebs, would prefer that it's not on the map like it is," one resident-who refers to the Sussexes as "The Prince and the starlet"-told the outlet.
Locals accuse Harry and Meghan of causing an increase in housing prices and drawing unwelcome tourists to their once-quiet neighborhood.
