Amid the turbulence of their royal discord and the impact on their public image, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are exploring the idea that a change of scenery, particularly in Los Angeles, might bring about positive transformations for both themselves and their reputation.
According to a source cited by Life & Style, the motivation behind their move from Montecito to L.A. stems from a belief that it could enhance their social standing. The source stated, “Every time things get bad for Harry and Meghan, they want to move — it’s their MO. They think a new place will be exactly what they need and will fix everything.”
While acknowledging that the couple's current $14 million mansion in Montecito is luxurious, it is noted that the demographic in the area, with a median age over 50, does not align with the vibrancy of Los Angeles, where the median age is 35.
An insider provided insights, stating, “Everyone is retired where they live now. It’s not very fun or cool for them or their kids. Harry and Meghan thought they wanted peace and quiet, but this is too quiet, and it comes with the cost of loneliness.”
The prospective move to L.A. is seen as a potential remedy to inject vibrancy into their lives and, perhaps, alleviate some of the challenges they've encountered in their current location.
