After a uncommon day trip to Britain for tea with the Queen, hypothesis is mounting as to whether the Sussexes will be back for the jubilee. In the meantime, they’ve made themselves proper at home in a glitzy enclave. Ooh, look, there’s Gwyneth Paltrow, says Laura Pullman.
Two hours after arriving in Montecito, I spot my first A-lister. Gwyneth Paltrow, searching lithe, tanned and each inch the off-duty film star, walks into the Mexican restaurant the place I’m having lunch, and nobody bats an eyelid. In this billionaires’ enclave in Santa Barbara, California, there is an unwritten code that the everyday Joes should pretend that their wildly famous neighbours are also normal Joes.
That discretion is one reason why the Duke and Duchess of Sussex selected to buy an £11 million home right here — taking out a £7 million loan in the process. The pop star Katy Perry and her actor partner, Orlando Bloom, who also live in Montecito, grew to be pals with Meghan and Harry after Bloom provided them recommendation about sneaky paparazzi.
