Exiled to the United States for almost three years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would not be among the “most important people in Hollywood”. This is revealed by one of their former friends, who did not hesitate to scratch the couple.
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living in the United States for almost three years
- According to a former friend of the couple, they thought they would become the stars of their neighborhood
- Unfortunately for them, that would not be the case at all.
Perhaps they saw themselves as more beautiful than they actually were. On March 31, 2020, the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a radical decision, because they decided to settle in the United States and ended their obligations to the royal family to lead a financially independent existence. The couple then acquired a mansion in the town of Montecito, in California, for nearly 15 million dollars (about 14 million euros). But according to Nick Ede, a former friend of Meghan Markle, when they arrived they “thought they would be the most important people in Hollywood“. But that was not the case at all.
Indeed, among their neighbors, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can count some of the biggest American stars, such as Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. What places them “far enough in the hierarchy” at Hollywood, according to Nick Ede, in the columns of Express. The TV presenter claims the couple believed they would be “number one in the neighborhood“, but that the title of “king of Hollywood” belongs to the Kardashians and Beyonce.
Harry and Meghan excluded from American “royalty”?
“I think we forget that in Hollywood, royalty is not someone with a title. It’s J.Lo, it’s Sharon Stone, it’s Beyonce, it’s the Kardashians. It’s their royalty”, continued Nick Ede. And to add: “They’re kind of pretty far up the pecking order. And I think that’s been a problem for them.”
On September 30, 2022, local magazine Santa Barbara News-Press reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted to leave their mansion to move to Hope Ranch, about ten miles from Montecito. This small town has a chic members-only country club as well as a golf club. It also has many assets, such as tennis courts, picnic grounds and a network of horse trails. Enough to raise Archie and Lilibet in a dream setting! Highly sought after by celebrities, this area has many properties.
