Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s quest for a quiet and private life in Montecito, California, may be under threat as a new sightseeing excursion offers tours of their neighborhood.
This development comes as a potential challenge to Meghan’s desire for privacy.
The guided tours, organized by a friend of Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., have been approved, even though Meghan has been striving to escape excessive publicity.
Relationship expert Kate Mansfield suggests that this could worsen Meghan’s already complicated relationship with her father. However, she acknowledges that Meghan may need to endure these intrusions.
“I think that one of the reasons that Meghan has had so much negative press is that she seems to have completely underestimated the reality of what it means to be married into the Royal Family. Wanting privacy and having things her way may be delusional,” Kate commented.
Group of six
The tours, priced at $1,221 for a group of six, aim to showcase the couple’s favorite places in California, providing fans with insights into their lifestyle. The tour organizer claims that these guided trips will take visitors close to Meghan and Harry’s $14.6 million mansion, as well as to Meghan’s preferred shops, restaurants, and even the polo club where she was seen with Harry last year.
In addition to the Sussexes’ residence, the tours also include visits to the homes of other celebrities, such as singer Katy Perry and actress Cameron Diaz.
Meghan and Harry relocated to Montecito shortly after stepping down from their senior roles within the Royal Family, and their choice of location was seen as a bid for greater privacy.
