The idyllic Californian town of Montecito, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reside, has reportedly turned its back on the Duchess, with residents refusing to buy Omid Scobie’s book, “Finding Freedom.” The bombshell report comes from Katy Perry’s father, Maurice Hudson, who claims he witnessed the book being rejected by customers at a local bookstore.
“The sales of the book were abysmal,” Hudson revealed in a shocking interview. “Customers were flipping through the pages, reading snippets, and then putting it back on the shelf with a grimace.” He further added, “One woman even scoffed and said, ‘This is nothing but lies and exaggerations.’ It seems like the Montecito residents aren’t buying Meghan’s story.”
Hudson’s claims, while unverified, paint a picture of a community disillusioned by the Sussexes and their portrayal in the book. Montecito, a haven for celebrities and known for its tight-knit community, appears to be siding with the Royal Family in the ongoing narrative.
This alleged rejection from their own community could be a major blow to Meghan and Harry’s image. Montecito was supposed to be their sanctuary, a place where they could escape the scrutiny of the British press and build a new life. However, if Hudson’s claims are true, it seems they haven’t found the warm welcome they expected.
The public’s reaction to “Finding Freedom” has been mixed. While some have empathized with the Sussexes’ struggles, others have criticized their decision to air their grievances publicly. The book has also been accused of being inaccurate and sensationalized, further fueling the negative sentiment towards the couple.
It remains to be seen whether Hudson’s claims are accurate and whether they represent a broader trend within the Montecito community. However, one thing is clear: the public’s perception of Meghan and Harry is shifting, and the once-adored couple may face a long road ahead in rebuilding their image and trust.
