Fresh natural disaster alert renews talk of relocation for Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Meghan Markle and the Duke of Sussex have received another alarming update about their £11 million Montecito estate, prompting renewed speculation that the couple may be considering a move.
Following a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia, a tsunami advisory was issued for several coastal regions in the U.S., including Santa Barbara County—home to the Sussexes' luxury residence. The advisory urged residents, including Harry and Meghan, to avoid beaches and stay away from the ocean as the threat could linger for hours.
By early Wednesday, waves generated by the quake had begun reaching coastal areas in California and Hawaii, triggering precautionary evacuations in some communities and raising widespread safety concerns.
The incident follows a string of environmental threats near the Sussexes' home. Just months earlier, in January, their property was placed under a red flag warning due to escalating wildfires and dangerous Santa Ana winds. At the time, residents were advised to prepare for potential evacuation.
With their Montecito estate increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters, insiders suggest that the couple may be rethinking their long-term plans in the area. Having already experienced multiple emergency warnings since their move to California in 2020, the Sussexes could soon be looking for safer ground for their growing family.
