An elderly neighbour allegedly knocked at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Montecito mansion to personally hand over a documentary on the area to the former actress - but 'never got past the gate', it was claimed today.
The unnamed California local historian had apparently wanted the Duchess of Sussex to have a copy after she moved to the area with her royal husband in 2020.
Fellow neighbour and local journalist Richard Mineards has claimed that the anecdote reveals how 'distant' Meghan has become in the $14.7million home she shares with Harry, Archie and Lilibet.
‘She cultivates a very controlled image. She pays attention to every appearance, every word, every gesture. And here in Montecito, we appreciate simple people, even famous ones. Oprah Winfrey, for example, shows up at charity events. Meghan doesn't play the community game', he said.
Speaking to Ici Paris, Mr Mineards, a journalist living in the celebrity-heavy enclave of Santa Barbara, claims Meghan has 'never tried to fit in' in Montecito.
