Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ‘snubbed’ by neighbor who gives damning 7-word verdict
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s neighbors have revealed what it’s like to live next door to the couple in their California estate.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to Montecito after stepping down from the Royal Family in 2020. They now live in America with their two children – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Local resident Frank McGinity received a chilly non-welcome when he tried to reach out to Meghan and Harry, explaining “they’re not interested” in forming local ties. The US Navy veteran revealed he attempted to offer his historical films about Montecito to ease their settling in, only to be dismissed by their security detail.
Frank made the claims in his memoir Get Off Your Street, which also delves into the historic mudslides that have plagued the region. The 88-year-old wrote: “The gate guy turned me away and wouldn’t take the film, just saying ‘they’re not interested’.
“I was trying to be neighborly. If they were interested in the neighborhood I’ve got a lot of information.” Frank was stunned to learn that Meghan and Harry had chosen Montecito as their home, considering its more known as a retreat for the elderly than young families.
He stated: “It’s surprising they came here. People are typically older.” Offering a damning verdict on the area, he said: “It’s where the elephants come to die.”
