Harry and Meghan’s New Glamorous Neighbors

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to decamp from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, they did so because they wanted to “integrate into the community while having some distance and privacy that is hard to come by in the Los Angeles area,” a friend close to the family told Vogue. Now, another pair of famous faces are following suit: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.

Multiple reports say the couple purchased a $14 million home in the hillside enclave for, well, the exact same reason the Sussexes did: “Katy grew up in Santa Barbara and always loved it there. Orlando has come to love it as well.”  He always enjoyed Malibu but finds Montecito even better since it’s much more private. ”
