The Duke, 40, and Duchess of Sussex, 44, have lived in a lavish mansion in California with their children &#8211; six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet &#8211; since 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Since they stepped down from royal duties and moved to the US in 2020, <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2070088\/royal-family-live-meghan-markle-prince-harry-fathers-day-video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">very little has been shared about the Sussexes<\/a>, however, <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2061584\/prince-harry-meghan-markle-montecito-neighbours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some of their neighbours have now spoken out<\/a>. Local journalist Richard Mineards &#8211; who lives close to the couple &#8211; has previously spoke about Harry and Meghan.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">He previously also said that Harry is only seen walking on the beach, riding his bike, or occasionally heading out to dinner &#8211; but always accompanied by his security.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/royal-family\/2024\/09\/04\/prince-harry-40-birthday-life-in-montecito-royal-family\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Telegraph<\/a>, Mr Mineards also claims that Meghan also likes to keep a low profile &#8211; but, unlike her husband, is more likely to be seen out enjoying lunch with friends or shopping at a local market.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8221;The community is waiting for them. They&#8217;re gnashing at the bit. The cachet of a Duke and Duchess. They live rather splendidly, it couldn&#8217;t be a nicer place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have got a lot of very rich and very famous people here, and none of them have a security retinue like the Sussexes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mineards also spoke to Ici Paris and said that the local historian allegedly wanted to give Meghan a documentary on the area in 2020 &#8211; but was denied entry.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;There was even this anecdote of an elderly neighbour who wanted to give her a documentary he had made on local history. The old man never got past the gate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further about Meghan, he added: &#8220;She cultivates a very controlled image. She pays attention to every appearance, every word, every gesture. And here in Montecito, we appreciate simple people, even famous ones.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oprah Winfrey, for example, shows up at charity events. Meghan doesn&#8217;t play the community game.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A close neighbour of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has lifted the lid on their true feelings about&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419820,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,7718,7720,143677,143679,143678,143676,1281,8170,447,8171,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-419819","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-harry","12":"tag-meghan","13":"tag-meghan-harry-california","14":"tag-meghan-harry-home","15":"tag-meghan-harry-montecito","16":"tag-meghan-harry-neighbours","17":"tag-meghan-markle","18":"tag-prince-archie","19":"tag-prince-harry","20":"tag-princess-lilibet","21":"tag-royal-families","22":"tag-royal-family","23":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115194275012386693","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419819\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
