An insider says Duke and Duchess of Sussex are moving on from dramatic claims about what they are like as neighbors after US magazine Vanity Fair has published a cover article about the Sussexes, which has sent shockwaves across the internet.
Former royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have ignored the harsh comments made about them as they appear ‘more loved up than ever,’ says an insider amid harsh backlash.
It comes after the famous couple’s move to their California neighborhood has been met with criticism from locals, who claim they’ve transformed the once tranquil area.
Despite a string of negative claims made against them, a source told The Mirror US: “Prince Harry and Meghan are putting their best foot forward. These things actually make them stronger. They are genuinely more in love than ever before.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex purchased their Montecito mansion in 2020, following their decision to step back from royal duties. They bought the property for $14.65million at the time and its value has only skyrocketed over the years.
The property is now reportedly worth around $29million, nearly double what they initially paid. Montecito is home to several celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwyneth Paltrow. According to a local resident, it was once a quiet area known for its neighborliness.
Glossy US magazine Vanity Fair has published a cover article about the Sussexes, which delves into their lives five years since they decided to quit as working royals. And the allegations have sent shockwaves across the internet.
The article contains more troubling claims about what it’s allegedly like to work for the couple, with some insiders recounting negative experiences. And according to sources said to be familiar with Meghan’s Spotify podcast Archetypes and Harry’s book tour, there was a special title they prefer staff to use.
The story claims that people were told to address them as ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ despite them no longer being working royals. However, the story adds that this request was dropped after one person pushed back. In addition, other people who were interviewed for the article said they were encouraged to call the couple by their first names.
One source said: “I think ultimately it’s cachet and sets them apart as different and special. In the US, success, money, fame, all of that stuff exists out here. But a blood title, it’s few and far between.”
However, it is not the first time that it has surfaced that those working with Harry and Meghan have been told to use formal styles. Last year, the CEO of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 revealed how he was told to address the couple.
