Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been uncovered by Monterey authorities following an extensive property records investigation.
Officials have confirmed that they do not legally own any property in the exclusive Enclave they’ve claimed as home since 2020. This revelation has left the couple’s carefully crafted public image in doubt, as questions mount about their actual financial situation and the authenticity of their post-Royal life narrative for years.
The couple have showcased their supposed $14.65 million mansion as the embodiment of their newfound independence and success off the departing Royal duties.
The property appears to be leased through a complicated arrangement involving multiple parties, which is sometimes used by celebrities who want the appearance of ownership without the actual financial commitment or who may not qualify for traditional financing.
Neighbors in the exclusive Community, home to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, and RBL, have expressed surprise at the findings.
Representatives have remained conspicuously silent in the face of mounting questions, declining multiple requests for comment. This silence has only fueled speculation about the true extent of their financial resources and whether the pair have deliberately misled the public about their circumstances to maintain an illusion of prosperity.
The investigation reportedly began after several contractors filed unusual paperwork regarding work performed at the property instead of the standard permits listing the Sussex’s as Property Owners documents. The complex structure has made it challenging for local officials to determine who actually holds the deed. Though their investigation confirms it is not Harry or Megan personally or through companies directly tied to them, there is still a clear paper trail establishing their ownership.
