Meghan Markle is coming under fire from another neighbor!
Richard Mineards, a man who lives near the Duchess of Sussex and her husband Prince Harry in Montecito, California, slammed her in a new German documentary, Harry: The Lost Prince, out earlier this week, according to DailyMail.com on Friday. Arguing that she’s brought nothing to the neighborhood, Richard complained:
“I personally don’t think that Meghan is an asset to our community.”
Oof!
It’s not just that the Suits alum isn’t offering to help out around the town or doesn’t wave when she walks by — Richard claims he straight up never sees her. He dished:
“She doesn’t really go out or get involved with the community.”
Interestingly, the resident said he finds Harry “quite jolly” — even though the Duke also isn’t around:
“Meghan doesn’t seem to get seen anywhere…. And you don’t see him either.”
Hmm. So, Harry can stay hidden and he’s still “jolly” but Meghan’s blasted for the same thing?? Double standards much? Just saying!
Frankly, as far as we’re concerned neighbors who stay completely invisible can buy all the property near us they want! It’s nice to have kind, cheery neighbors, but we’ll absolutely take nonexistent ones! Far better than noisy or rude!
For the record, this isn’t the first time the pair have been called out for being bad neighbors. Last year, Frank McGinity said he went to give them a gift when they first moved in, but a security guard said they “weren’t interested.” We get why that would be frustrating, though it’s unclear if Harry and Meg ever actually knew about the visitor. It was a stressful time for them when they arrived to the US and they may have had a rule about strangers at the property — you know, a security thing.
Per the outlet, there have also been reports the couple is considering sending their children to a “prestigious” private school, thus further distancing themselves from the locals. Earlier this year, DM reported Harry is often seen biking while followed by his security or walking his dog on the beach. Meghan, on the other hand, has a small group of loyal friends and reportedly joined a mahjong group and regularly stops to speak with locals while out and about. So, we guess it really depends who you ask!
One thing is for certain. It appears the pair mainly stick to their other high-profile neighbors when they do hang out with others, including Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi (who just moved away to England), Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey, and Katy Perry. It’s not out of the ordinary for famous folks to be a bit cliquey!
