Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have to downsize from their $14 million Montecito mansion in California, according to a US commentator who claims the couple are struggling to cash in on their royal connection as they once did. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who moved into the property in 2020 after stepping back from royal duties, have not commented on the Montecito rumours, and a representative has reportedly been approached for a response.
The suggestion that their Montecito home could be at risk comes after several years of intense scrutiny over how Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, would fund their new life in the United States. To recall, the couple left the UK four years ago, trading royal engagements and official schedules for commercial deals, media projects and a carefully managed public image. Their California home quickly became a symbol of that reinvention, a sprawling estate that signalled both freedom and financial ambition.
