Prince Harry and Meghan’s Montecito Neighbor Reveals Why the Duchess Isn’t Popular in the Community

A documentary Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn’t want you to see has been released and includes some frank and harsh remarks from people who know the pair.

The documentary titled Harry: The Lost Prince was directed by veteran royal reporter Ulrike Grunewald. The film examines the Duke of Sussex’s journey within the royal family, his departure, and his current life in California with his wife. But unlike another documentary about the couple that had everyone talking, Meghan and Harry did not work with Grunewald on the project and therefore had no editorial input in the program.

One of the Sussexes’ neighbors appeared in the documentary and shared details about Meghan and why she is so unpopular in the Montecito community. Here’s more on that and what others in the area have said about living near the prince and former Suits star.

Neighbors say Meghan is unpopular and ‘ignored’

Express noted that in the documentary Richard Mineards, who is not only one of Meghan and Harry’s neighbors but also a writer for the Montecito Journal, revealed that even though the duchess speaks about the importance of community she is not at all involved in the Montecito community she’s lived in for the last four years.

“I personally don’t think that Meghan is an asset to our community,” Mineards said. “She doesn’t really go out or get involved with the community. Harry has to a certain extent, because he’s quite jolly … but Meghan doesn’t seem to get seen anywhere … And you don’t see him either.”

Mary Sheldon, another longtime resident of Montecito, owns a bookstore in town and agreed that no one sees much of the ex-working royals so they’re “ignored” by other locals.

“I think they’re basically ignored, and if people come across them that’s fine, but I don’t think the locals seek them out in any way,” Sheldon opined. “I have seen black SUVs on my road. Other than that, no impact at all.”

Sheldon was also asked if Prince Harry’s memoir Spare sold a lot of copies at her bookstore. She shared that it did not do well at her store, only selling about 20 copies since it was released in January 2023.

Many of the wealthy Montecito residents want nothing to do with the Sussexes

Prince Harry and Meghan are friends with one of the wealthiest residents in Montecito. But word is Oprah Winfrey is the only billionaire in the neighborhood who has anything to do with them.

British socialite and author of the book Meghan and Harry: The Real Story Lady Colin Campbell has heard stories from some famous Montecito residents themselves that they don’t even try to bother with the Sussexes and steer clear of them.

On her YouTube channel, Lady C explained that she attended a function with people who live in the same area as the duke and duchess and their names came up.

“I was at something in London with some very very famous stars who have a place in Montecito. And of course, Meghan and Harry’s names came up,” Lady C said. “They told me what I have been told by other friends of mine who know the Montecito scene or have places in Montecito. The billionaires don’t want to touch them, nobody wants to touch them.”
