Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Meghan Markle’s neighbours in Montecito have revealed the “truth” about the duchess after reports that her popularity in America seems to be dwindling. It comes as a new survey has found that one-in-four Americans actively don’t like the duchess, 43, despite the fact she is herself American.
While Meghan has spoken positively about her life in America, where she still likes to be referred to by her royal title the Duchess of Sussex – despite quitting royal life with Prince Harry in 2020 – it seems that some of her neighbours are not keen on her. Writing in The Daily Mail, political commentator Lisa Kennedy Montgomery – known simply as “Kennedy” – said that one of Meghan and Prince Harry’s own neighbours told her that the duchess has tried to revert back to who she was before royal life as the “princess-thing” did not work.
The source, dubbed by Kennedy as the Montecito mole, also claimed that Meghan’s actions show she “just wanted to be an influencer” all along, with the duchess having been an actress before marrying Harry in 2018.
The ‘mole’ told Kennedy: “When the princess-thing didn’t work out, she (Meghan) reverted to the person she was when [Harry] found her.
“She’s trying to say she’s exceedingly normal, which she isn’t. It’s all very LA actress.”
Talking about whether they think the duchess is going to adapt her approach as a result of her lowering popularity in the US, the Monecito source said that Meghan “doesn’t get it”.
They told The Daily Mail: “It proves people don’t really change and all along she just wanted to be an influencer and TV star.”
