The new Brat Pack?
Rob Lowe has officially been neighbors with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle but for some time now, but is Montecito big enough for all three? The 9-1-1 Lone Star actor was featured exclusively on E! News’ Daily Pop Today (May 21) on what he really thinks of the royals moving in.
“You’ve definitely drawn a lot of attention to my sleepy little town,” Lowe said of his Southern California home for 26 years. “Let me tell you something, once the royals move into your neighborhood, the neighborhood will never be the same.”
Meghan and Harry live “over the fence” of Lowe’s first house in the area, and while the couple “hold back,” Lowe has crossed paths with the A-listers. “I saw Harry drive once,” Lowe recalled.
Of course, the royals aren’t the only high-profile residents of the beach town. “When Oprah drafted, that started the kind of revival of Montecito, “Lowe admitted.” Now that the royals are here: the good news is that property values are rising, the bad news is that the line at Starbucks is longer. “
