A Montecito neighbor claims Meghan Markle remains distant from the community despite living there since 2020. The neighbor, a local historian, allegedly attempted to gift Markle a documentary about the area but was turned away at the gate.
Local journalist Richard Mineards echoed this sentiment, stating Markle 'never tried to fit in.' He contrasted her behavior with Prince Harry, who is described as 'charming' and 'approachable'.
Mineards claims Harry is seen around town, while Meghan is 'practically invisible.' A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex declined to comment on the claims.
The article also touches on criticism of Meghan's portrayal of her daily routine as a mother. Some working parents found her description of the school run 'akin to climbing Everest'.
Despite these criticisms, Meghan has spoken about finding normalcy in Montecito. She claims to have bonded with other mothers and enjoys activities like Pilates and girls' nights out.
However, some neighbors question the couple's 'elitist' lifestyle and limited community involvement. Reports suggest Harry spends his time cycling with security and meditating, while Meghan maintains a small circle of friends.
