Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are allegedly hunting for a new home in a private California community because their existing $14million mansion 'does not properly accommodate them.'
Rumors swirling around the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claim the royal couple have outgrown their Montecito mansion and are eyeing properties in the nearby Hope Ranch community, where luxury homes fetch for as high as $22million, The Santa Barbara News-Press reported.
Hope Ranch sits around 10 miles away, and has a slew of upmarket amenities including a country club, golf club, tennis court and equestrian trails.
The News-Press reported that the couple may already have bought a property there, but were unable to confirm any purchase. It's unclear whether the couple are seeking to buy a bigger home than their current mansion, or a smaller property.
While Montecito is home to multiple celebrities, including Katy Perry, Adam Levine, Ellen DeGeneres and Jennifer Aniston, Hope Ranch's affluent private neighborhood would serve as a quieter community for the royals and their two children.
Speculation about Harry and Meghan's desire to move comes after police installed license plate scanning cameras near their mansion amid an uptick in crime in the neighborhood.
