Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might not be as happy in their Montecito, California home as we initially thought, as sources close to the couple have just confessed that they are planning to put their house up for sale and move to another location after just 18 months there. We didn’t see this coming!
Their imminent move doesn’t mean that the royal rift is over and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are moving back to the United Kingdom though, as insiders are hinting that the couple still want to raise their two children – two-year-old son Archie and seven-month-old daughter Lilibet – in the US. And they actually don’t want to move too far either, as an insider insisted that they are still keen to remain in the Montecito area. According to The Daily Mail, the source told The Daily Mirror: “They want to stay in the neighborhood or nearby but they aren’t over the moon about the house and the location.”
So will their $14m house be on the market? Will there be an open house for regular members of the public to attend? Not exactly! "They are thinking of selling their house there. However, it won’t be on the market because of who they are," the insider added. "It’s only being shown to people who are confirmed with funds and are serious buyers." Makes sense to us – especially as far as security (which is so important for the understandably very private couple!) is concerned!
We don’t think it'll be too hard to find a buyer for their gorgeous nine-bedroom and 16-bathroom home, which they purchased back in June 2020 from Russian businessman Sergey Grishin, just five months after announcing that they were stepping down as senior royals. The stunning mansion reportedly overlooks the ocean and boasts a wine cellar, a swimming pool, a tennis court, a gym, an arcade and games room, a home theater, a spa, and a separate guesthouse. And it has some pretty impressive neighbors too, including the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, both of whom are close friends with the Duchess. We wonder who its new owner will be, and more importantly, where Harry and Meghan will end up moving to…
