Why neighbour won't hang out with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry
NFL legend Troy Aikman is keeping his distance from neighbours Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The American football star has a property in Montecito, California which is located near the royal couple's home, Page Six reports. The athlete said he won't be spending time with his neighbours anytime soon, however, joking in a new interview that they don't have much in common. 'I don't think they're drinking much light beer,' the EIGHT Elite Light Beer founder told Us Weekly. Aikman, 58, noted that everyone in the community knows Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, live there. 'I haven't run into them. But they are there, from what I can gather. I think anyone with a heartbeat knows that they're out there,' he continued. 'But I'm not hanging with them, that's for sure.' Insane amount Meghan, Harry pay staff One of Meghan and Harry's other neighbours, Richard Mineards, claimed the As Ever founder — who has reportedly been dubbed 'the Princess of Montecito' by her neighbours — never attempted to 'fit in' with the Montecito crowd as opposed to the more 'approachable' Harry. 'She pays attention to every appearance, every word, every gesture,' Mr Mineards told the Daily Mail last month. 'And here in Montecito, we appreciate simple people, even famous ones. Meghan doesn't play the community game.' Mr Mineards praised Harry as being much more friendly toward locals in the ritzy Santa Barbara County neighbourhood. 'He is always charming, approachable, with that very recognisable Windsor accent. He smiles, shakes hands, willingly exchanges a few words,' he said. 'We've seen him at the beach, in an organic coffee shop, or cycling in the hills.' Meghan and Harry have been living in their $US14.65 million ($A20.9 million) Montecito mansion with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, since 2020. Though they may not be hanging out with Aikman, they are good friends with neighbours Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King. They were also close to Ellen DeGeneres, though the comedian has since sold her home and moved to England. According to another famous neighbour, Sharon Stone, the couple was down-to-earth after moving in following their royal exit. 'They're a part of our community, they've become a giving, caring, participating part of our community,' she told Hello! in 2020. 'They're not here to be like, 'Would you like to kiss my butt?''
