Megxit 2.0

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to leave their £11million California mansion because they are 'not over the moon' with it, reports say.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly looking to move from their nine-bedroom property in the exclusive neighbourhood of Montecito after just 18 months as they do not like its location.
Insiders have claimed the couple are now looking at other places to raise their children Archie, two, and Lilibet, six months.
It comes after they spent their first Christmas as a family in the sprawling mansion, even showing a glimpse of their baby Lilibet for the first time on their Christmas card.
A source told the Daily Mirror: 'They are thinking of selling their house there. However, it won't be on the market because of who they are.
'It's only being shown to people who are confirmed with funds and are serious buyers.'
The insider added: 'They want to stay in the neighbourhood or nearby but they aren't over the moon about the house and the location.'
The couple bought their mansion, which boasts 16 bathrooms, in Montecito, California, last year after quitting frontline royal duties and moving to the US.
The struggle is real.

I don't really understand the attraction of these massive mansions. It seems like it would feel more like a resort than a home.
Presumably you need 16 bathrooms to be absolutely sure that you never need to take a shower while you can still smell the remains of somebody else's lavatorial excesses.

Well, there's a nice mental image before dinner. Thanks, Phibes.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

On reflection, I realise that I should probably have said 'remnants' rather than 'remains'.

Pity the Daily Mail writer who had to peddle this as “news.”
You lost me at Pity.

I think when you achieve certain levels of wealth and fame that your world gets very small. The large mansion is an attempt to make their world a little larger.

I am under the impression that neither Harry nor Megan was as famous as they are now before they married each other. At least they were not mentioned reported on by the media before they married each other. I have no idea whether they are wealthier or less wealthy now compared to the time before they married each other.

@lufins-dad Good point. I agree.
And very rich people really lose sight of what the "real" world is like.
