Harry and Meghan Keep Montecito Home After UK Move

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are keeping their Montecito, California, home for now after moving with their family to the United Kingdom, according to an account attributed to an unidentified source. The source said the couple have no immediate plans to sell or rent out the property, no one is moving in, and people are continuing to maintain it. The account has not been independently confirmed, and neither Harry nor Meghan is reported to have publicly commented on the home’s status. The couple’s move to the Cotswolds area outside London took place in late August, according to the reports. They bought the Montecito estate in 2020, and it had served as their primary U.S. home. Its future drew attention after their relocation, but earlier speculation about a possible sale or rental does not establish that either was planned. The property is described as an approximately 18,000-square-foot estate with nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms. Reported amenities include a tennis court, tea house, swimming pool, children’s cottage, rose gardens and a two-bedroom guest residence.
