Harry and Meghan’s Montecito Mansion Branded “Unlucky” Amid Claims It Would Struggle to Sell
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Montecito estate is once again drawing headlines after a new report described the property as “unlucky,” citing a string of difficulties linked to the multimillion-dollar home. Hello! Magazine reports that real-estate observers believe the mansion could be challenging to sell in the current market, despite its celebrity ownership and extensive amenities.
Hello! notes several factors contributing to the reputation, including fluctuating valuations in the luxury-property sector, high maintenance costs, and recurring security concerns that have surrounded the area. Although the property is not currently listed, analysts quoted by the publication suggest that if it were placed on the market, it may not achieve its estimated price due to cooling demand among ultra-high-net-worth buyers.
The mansion has played a central role in the couple’s public image, appearing prominently in their Netflix series and Archewell projects. Its reputation as a symbol of their California lifestyle has made it a frequent subject of media scrutiny.
For royal watchers, the renewed focus on the home feeds ongoing speculation about the couple’s long-term plans in the United States, particularly as their business ventures evolve and their public roles shift.
Whether the property remains a permanent base or eventually becomes part of a broader relocation strategy, its “unlucky” label highlights the intersection of real estate trends, public perception, and the relentless spotlight on Harry and Meghan’s post-royal life.
