So, let’s talk about the royal escapades of Harry and Meghan, the dynamic duo who decided to trade tea and crumpets for sunshine and Hollywood glitz in 2020.
So, our ex-royal power couple has set up camp in the land of Montecito, hoping for some West Coast bliss. But guess what? The locals aren’t exactly rolling out the red carpet. In fact, they seem to have mistaken Harry and Meghan for two well-dressed lawn gnomes.
According to reports, the Montecito residents are giving the Sussexes the cold shoulder. It’s like they’ve been marked “Return to Sender” by the whole neighborhood. But fear not, Harry and Meghan, it seems privacy is the new black in California, and the locals are more than happy to oblige.
One local bookstore owner spilled the tea (or should we say, Earl Grey?) on the situation. Mary Sheldon, the fearless guardian of literature, revealed that she hasn’t exactly been rolling in the Sussex-inspired sales. In fact, she’s sold about as many copies of Harry’s memoir as there are corgis in Buckingham Palace – and that’s not saying much.
But hey, at least Mary gave the book a whirl. She cracked it open, read a few chapters, and then promptly decided she had better things to do – like alphabetizing her cat’s DVD collection.
And let’s not forget about Oprah, the queen of daytime TV, who reportedly strolls down the aisles of Montecito supermarkets like it’s nobody’s business. Unlike some *cough* royals *cough*, Oprah doesn’t need a royal entourage to pick up her kale and quinoa. She’s a one-woman show.
As for the rest of the Montecito crew, they’re about as impressed with the royals as they are with a soggy cucumber sandwich. In other words, not very. They’re just living their best laid-back California lives, soaking up the sun and pretending Harry and Meghan are just another couple of tourists lost in the land of palm trees and traffic jams.
The royal romance of Harry and Meghan has hit a hilariously awkward bump in the road. But hey, at least they’ve got each other, right? And maybe a few leftover copies of Harry’s memoir to use as coasters. Cheers to Hollywood dreams and small-town realities! 🌴✨
