The 41-year-old former American actress and the 38-year-old British prince settled in a closed enclave in California’s exclusive Santa Barbara area after resigning. Meghan and Harry bought the spacious estate in 2020 for $15 million. In addition to the nine-bedroom main residence, there is a guest house, swimming pool, tennis court and other amenities.
Next to them live Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ariana Grande, Orlando Bloom and other artists. And if the Dukes of Sussex try to make contact with the star residents of Montecito, then they behave rudely with neighbors of lower rank. So Meghan and Harry offered to give a lesson in etiquette after rejecting the 88-year-old US Navy veteran.

The pensioner tried to get to know the couple to demonstrate a good neighborly attitude, but he was in for a bitter disappointment – the couple did not show basic courtesy. Frank McGinity said he wanted to give the Dukes some of his home movies of local history.
“I have a big house next to Harry and Meghan’s property. I live in a guesthouse and rent the main house. I live within walking distance of the former kings. Harry and Meghan live on the Old McCormick estate and I went to their gate with movies on CD. But they weren’t interested,” Frank said in his memoir, Get Off Your Street.
At the entrance to the premises, the man was met by a patrol who did not even open the gate for him. “The guy at the gate turned me down and didn’t want to take the film, he just said, ‘They’re not interested.’ I was just trying to be a neighbor,” the New York Post quoted the veteran as saying.
McGinity explained that the Dukes of Sussex do not participate in the life of the local community. He wondered why the couple had chosen this quiet place to live in the first place. “We don’t see them here very often. It’s amazing that they settled next to us. As a rule, older people live here. Elephants come here to die,” joked the pensioner.
Earlier it became known that Megan wants to move to Malibu, where a large number of first-class stars live, in order to more effectively build a career in Hollywood.
