But Meghan Markle and Prince Harry now have decided to look for a different property in which to raise Archie, age 2, and Lilibet, 6 months. The Sussex family currently lives in Montecito, an upscale California neighborhood known for its star-studded population. So do Meghan and Harry want to bid bye-bye to neighbors like Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres?

One source shared that Markle and Harry have not yet decided whether to stay in the same neighborhood. But “they are thinking of selling their house there.” The mansion includes a play area, wine cellar, pub games room, and a separate guesthouse. Reports of its value vary. For instance, the Independent reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid $14.65 million (£10 million) but the value has increased since then.

For casual lookers who long to get a glimpse of the Duchess and Duke of Sussex’s mansion, sorry. The insider revealed that the couple do not plan to open their home to just anyone. Instead, if they do put it on the market, only serious potential buyers can check it out. “It’s only being shown to people who are confirmed with funds and are serious buyers,” clarified the source.

As for exactly where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might look, the insider offered some insights. “They want to stay in the neighborhood or nearby.
