A neighbor of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan hinted at their “solitary” life in Montecito. This will be presented as a new documentary “Harry: The Lost Prince” which will be broadcast on German television in December 2024.
The film explores whether Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan managed to “find freedom” and establish themselves as a financially independent couple after leaving the royal family. Ulrike Grünewald, an award-winning film director who traveled to California with his team to get information about the area where Harry and Meghan live with their children, told the Mail: They want to be global benefactors of tangible change. So far they have not lived up to this image at all. ”
Grünewald, who has been a royal correspondent since accompanying Princess Diana and then-Prince Charles on their trip to Germany in 1987, said: “The millionaires and billionaires who move here, on average, live at home.” paying 8 to 9 million euros to Although cultural life is very vibrant, everything often takes place in closed circles, and Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan rarely participate in these activities. It seems like it was.”
“I just don’t see her in general and I just don’t see him that much.”
Richard Mineers, a neighbor of Harry and Meghan, told Grunewald that the Sussexes were rarely seen in town. They only occasionally go to the local market or go for a walk, but are always accompanied by a security guard. “Sometimes I see her at the farmers market or with her dog, but usually I don’t see her and I just don’t see him very often. It’s a shame. It’s a lovely place,” he said. spoke.
However, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are known to be good friends with Montecito residents Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. The couple also reportedly lives in California and spends time with Tyler Perry, who is also godfather to the couple’s daughter Princess Lilibet. The Duchess of Sussex’s mother, Doria Ragland, lives just a short drive away in Los Angeles.
Director Grunewald said, “During the year we worked on this film, we saw a change in strategy for Harry and Meghan. They started out as a power duo in their new life in California, but now The two have created an image that works together, and I was curious to see if Harry and Meghan’s strategy for independent living was working. Four years later, the results have been very mixed.
