Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially left their $14 million Montecito estate, and their departure was about as low-key as it gets. No moving trucks, no neighborhood parties, just a sudden absence that residents say went largely unnoticed. One neighbor described the exit as“with a whimper, not a bang,”while others are more direct, saying“Good riddance!”The couple reportedly returned to the UK, closing the chapter on their California chapter without ceremony.
The news isn’t exactly shocking to those who live in the wealthy enclave. One resident, Robert Eringer, admitted he never even saw the Sussexes and doubts anyone noticed their departure. Another neighbor named Susan tried to welcome them with a gift, but it was returned unopened. She felt the couple was only interested in socializing with billionaires and celebrities, not the everyday folks who make up the community. Local shops have already removed As Ever products and Harry’s memoir“Spare”from their shelves, signaling a clean break from the royal couple.
What do you think? Is it fair to expect celebrities to be“regular”neighbors, or is that just part of the price of fame? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
