Neighbors Criticize Meghan Markle for Lack of Community Engagement in Montecito

While Prince Harry receives praise for his demeanor, Meghan faces criticism for her limited local involvement, as highlighted in a new documentary and neighbor accounts.

Montecito resident and journalist Richard Mineards expressed disappointment in Meghan Markle's lack of participation in community activities, calling her not an 'asset' to the area.
Mineards described Prince Harry as 'quite jolly' and noted that he has been more involved with the community than Meghan, though both are rarely seen by neighbors.
An 88-year-old Navy veteran, Frank McGinity, shared a past experience where his attempt to gift the couple local history films was rebuffed, reflecting broader frustrations among some neighbors.
These critiques are featured in the German documentary 'Harry: The Lost Prince,' which explores the Sussexes' life in the U.S. and includes commentary from neighbors and royal experts.
Despite the criticism, Prince Harry has affirmed his commitment to living in the U.S., citing enhanced privacy and freedom for his family compared to their life in the U.K.
