Prince Harry, Meghan Markle face evacuation from $14M Montecito mansion as Palisades Fire ravages LA

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be forced to evacuate their $14 million Montecito, Calif., mansion as the Palisades Fire continues to ravage Los Angeles.

A spokesperson for Southern California Edison told the Telegraph Wednesday that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s property falls inside a “high fire risk” zone.

Power shutdowns could occur in the ritzy enclave of Santa Barbara County due to “a Red Flag Warning and increased risk of wildfires,” the spokesperson shared, adding that “affected customers” were being contacted in several communities, “including Montecito.”

It is unclear whether Harry, 40, and Markle, 43, have been contacted. Their reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The couple has been residing in the 1 ,000-square-foot home with their two kids — Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3 — since they resigned from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the West Coast.

The manor boasts nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, while the sprawling property features a pool, tennis court, tea house, rose gardens, century-old olive trees, children’s cottage and a two-bedroom guesthouse.

Other celebrities living in the area could also face evacuation, including the royal couple’s neighbors Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Winfrey, a close friend of Harry and Markle, memorably experienced damage to her property due to mudslides caused by wildfires in 201 .

Thousands of residents have already fled the Pacific Palisades as roaring fires ripped through the region Tuesday and Wednesday.

“By no stretch of the imagination are we out of the woods,” Newsom said later Tuesday, adding that “not a few” but “many structures [were] already destroyed.”

Local firefighters are reportedly running out of water, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“The hydrants are down,” one firefighter said over the radio, with another added, “Water supply just dropped.”
