Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle are looking for a new home, despite recent rumors of relationship problems.
For several months it has been said that the controversial couple is looking for a new home in Los Angeles, California, but it seems that they have not yet found the perfect place. Now, sources close to them have told the ‘New York Post’ that they want to find a Malibu home, in order to be closer to Hollywood.
According to the same source: “The move consideration comes as Meghan is changing gears and refocusing on Hollywood with WME.”
Supposedly they have already seen some options in the area, but everything has been done low profile, partly because another of their goals is to find a mansion with more privacy. In October of last year, it was even said that they had found a good place in Hope Ranch, Santa Barbara, but said purchase was not confirmed.
All this information shortly after it was reported that they were free of the debts generated by their home in the United Kingdom.
It must be remembered that they currently live in a mansion in Montecito that they bought in 2020 for $14.6 million dollars.
At the moment it is not known if with the purchase of a new property, the couple will decide to put their current home in Montecito up for sale or if they will leave that place to rent to other people and have a source of income.
Harry and Meghan Markle’s problems in Montecito
Although no one has confirmed or denied the sale of the Montecito mansion, everything seems to indicate that they will keep it in their real estate portfolio. What should be taken into account is that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not had the best experience in this place.
This mansion has several luxuries worthy of a Hollywood star; however its location has generated problems. In February of last year, it was said that the family had to put up with bad smells because they were very close to a bird refuge.
More recently, statements by Navy veteran Frank McGinity, who has also been a neighbor of the couple since 2020, have been released.
McGinity exposes Harry and Meghan in her book ‘Get Off Your Street’. There he explains that he went to welcome them when they first arrived at the mansion and they refused to receive the detail.
He says: “Harry and Meghan live on the old McCormick estate and I went to their door with the movies on a CD, but they weren’t interested. The guy at the door turned me away and didn’t accept the movie, just saying ‘They’re not interested’. He was trying to be a good neighbor.”
Other residents of the area consider it strange that they have decided to move there, since, in their opinion, Montecito is usually the place that older people choose. However, it must be remembered that this is the favorite area of comedian Ellen DeGeneres.
