Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quietly dealt with an intruder who broke into his property in Montecito, California, during the holiday, legitimizing their intense concerns about the lack of security following Megxit’s move to the states.
According to TMZ, police confirmed that a 37-year-old man named Nickolas Brooks was caught on Christmas Eve invading the luxurious property where the duke, the duchess and their young son, Archie, live.
Fortunately, he was located and escorted off the property, but he only received a warning from Santa Barbara County sheriff’s officers not to return.
Two days later, the obstinate criminal did just that, resulting in his arrest. Brooks currently faces an accusation of trespassing on illegal property.
In August, Harry and Meghan bought the Santa Barbara home for $ 14.5 million in the prestigious Montecito neighborhood. The couple moved after their stay in Vancouver, at the beginning of the pandemic, when their whereabouts were made public and their security was taken away.
“Suddenly, it occurred to me: ‘Wait a minute, the borders can be closed. The world knows where we are. It’s not safe, it’s not safe, we probably need to get out of here, ‘”Harry, 36, reminded Oprah Winfrey during the couple’s bombshell interview on Sunday.
Before finding their own place, the couple slept with Tyler Perry at his $ 18 million Beverly Hills mansion, where he also provided a security detachment for the family of three.
Harry also revealed during the couple’s meeting with Winfrey that his inheritance from his mother, Princess Diana, has been supporting his family after being cut off by royalty.
