Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say they are keeping their Montecito, California mansion as they prepare to relocate to Britain, according to reports. Both outlets cite a real estate source who indicates that interest in the property and discussion about its future is ongoing.
The coverage centers on the cost of maintaining the home. Mint reports the couple’s upkeep is about $600,000 a year, while the New York Post similarly describes “staggering” monthly expenses tied to the residence. Despite the couple’s public position that they will remain in the property, the real estate source says there have been “rumblings” about the possibility of selling it.
Overall, the outlets agree on the key points: the couple plans a move to the UK, they say they are keeping the Montecito property, and an unnamed real estate source points to heightened speculation in the local market about whether the home will be sold. No definitive decision or sale is reported in either account.
