Rumours grow over Harry and Meghan’s relationship
Harry visits UK, Meghan engages locally, fuelling separate lives speculation
The Montecito Journal, a well-known publication among the affluent residents of Southern California’s coastal enclave, usually reports on local issues such as planning disputes, charity events, and minor crimes. Recently, it delved into the rumours surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship, which have intensified due to their frequent solo public appearances.
Richard Mineards, the author of the publication’s recent Grapevine gossip column, is a former Fleet Street royal correspondent who has lived in California for 13 years. He highlighted Prince Harry’s visit to the UK for the WellChild Awards in London and Meghan Markle’s independent engagement with Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara. Mineards, who has a background with the Daily Mirror and Daily Mail and experience as a CBS news anchor, mentioned that King Charles stays updated on Harry and Meghan’s life in California through the Montecito Journal’s website.
During her visit, Meghan discussed her experiences with Vanity Fair, describing herself as “one of the most bullied people in the world.” Critics argue she chose to portray herself as a victim for attention. Mineards noted, “It was her second public appearance without Harry since her visit to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles on Oct. 5.” British Royal experts continue to speculate that the couple, who live in the exclusive Riven Rock neighbourhood with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are “living increasingly separate lives.”

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield from Irish Star earlier suggested that Meghan and Harry are trying to outshine each other. “Professionally, she’s trying to upstage him, and he’s trying to upstage her,” he stated, adding, “So it goes from bad to worse.”
The column also features sightings of other A-list Montecito residents, including Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, Cameron Diaz, her husband Benji Madden, and Orlando Bloom.
