In our quest for a fresh start in a different locale, Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollen, in a rather lighthearted manner, playfully took a swipe at Megan for the impact she had on their lives. The backdrop to this narrative is Santa Barbara, where Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy Pollen, orchestrated a significant real estate deal in 2021, pocketing an impressive $6.1 million.
This financial windfall subsequently prompted their move to Santa Barbara. Nevertheless, their stay in the vicinity of Prince Harry and Megan Markle was short-lived. Michael, who has been courageously battling Parkinson’s disease since his late twenties, candidly shared with People magazine in 2021 that their decision to relocate was largely driven by a yearning for tranquility.
In his own words, Michael explained, “We sold our New York property and sought refuge in Santa Barbara for a few months. However, we found that the area wasn’t as peaceful as we’d hoped, largely due to our close proximity to the former Royals, Megan and Harry.” He expressed his and his wife’s longing for a quiet and private haven, yet lamented the presence of relentless stalkers and intrusive cameras that frequently plagued the area.
It’s worth noting that Megan has faced allegations of stalking and harassment directed at several high-profile individuals, including Catherine, Angelina Jolie, and Amal Clooney, among others. Michael alluded to their intention to make a subsequent move to Malibu later in the year, reiterating their earnest desire for a serene and secluded sanctuary. However, concerns arose when reports surfaced regarding Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s exploration of an $18 million mansion in the Malibu area. This sparked further speculation that the royal family might be considering relocating closer to Hollywood, potentially bidding adieu to Santa Barbara.
Shifting gears, experts have recently begun discussing Megan Markle’s rumored interest in a political career. In an interview with Express UK, Pauline McLaren, a professor of marketing and consumer research at Royal Hollow, shared her insights on Megan’s political aspirations. She critiqued Megan’s use of her “Duchess of Sussex” title while advocating for parental leave, deeming it an inappropriate mix. In Miss McLaren’s opinion, this indicates a lack of a clear direction, as Megan appears to want to leverage her title as a status symbol while pursuing a political role in the U.S.
Miss McLaren believes that Megan must develop a well-defined strategy and be prepared to overcome numerous obstacles if she aims to make a successful foray into politics. While drawing parallels to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s entry into politics later in life, Miss McLaren highlighted the hurdles Megan faces, stemming from past public ridicule and portrayals such as those seen in South Park. Concluding her thoughts, Miss McLaren expressed her reservations about Megan’s political aspirations, citing the considerable challenges that lie ahead.
