As Meghan, her husband and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, prepare to relocate to England, an insider claimed the Suits star didn’t have a great reputation.
“She had trouble hiring maids because a lot of the housekeepers in Montecito didn’t want to work for them,” a source told Page Six.
“Meghan would interview people herself and could come across as really snobbish and rude,” they continued. “Some of them were so offended by the way she spoke to them that word started getting around. It got to the point where people would joke that all the maids in Montecito hated them.”
There were ‘concerns’ when Meghan and Harry moved to Montecito
When the couple first fled Britain in 2020 and relocated to America, the locals were reportedly cautious about them being residents.
“When we first heard Harry and Meghan were moving to Montecito, there were definitely some concerns,” a second insider claimed to the publication.
“There had already been so much negative press and attention surrounding them and the royal family, and I think people worried about what kind of spotlight that could bring to such a quiet community,” the source alleged.

Although Meghan and Harry have established a home and community in the United States, many people in their neighborhood reportedly won’t be sad to see them go.
Per the second source, locals “couldn’t be more thrilled” that the duo is leaving.
“Montecito is a very private, peaceful place and I think a lot of people here will be happy to see things go back to being a little quieter,” the insider noted.

While many might be celebrating, the pair allegedly won’t be saying goodbye to California entirely.
“What I understand is that they have decided to be more of an international family,” Harry’s friend and journalist Bryony Gordon explained during an episode of This Morning via HELLO!.
“California is lovely. I’ve been to their house in Montecito. It’s gorgeous,” she continued. “They’re not letting go of it. It will remain somewhere that you can escape to… What I understand is that as lovely as California is, it’s a long way away from lots of things.”
