Harry and Meghan allegedly snubbed their elderly Navy veteran neighbor
nypost.comhe claims. Frank McGinity, an 88-year-old US Navy vet, has been neighbors with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ever since they moved to Montecito in 2020 during their controversial departure from the Royal family (often referred to as “Megxit”).
According to McGinity, he tried to bring them a gift in order to welcome them and be “neighborly,” but they were not gracious about it.
In his memoir, “Get Off Your Street,” McGinity alleged that he approached the couple’s home to give them some of his homemade films about local history. “I have a big house next to Harry and Meghan’s property and I live in the guest house while renting the main house out on Airbnb,” he said, adding that he lives “a tiara’s toss or two” away from their 18,000-square-foot home, which they purchased for $14.65 million in 2020. “Harry and Meghan live on old McCormick property and I went up to their gate with the films on a CD, but they weren’t interested,” he claimed.
He said the security guard wouldn’t let him past the gate. “The gate guy turned me away and wouldn’t take the film, just saying ‘They’re not interested.’ I was trying to be neighborly.” Harry and Meghan live in the nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom mansion with their 4 -year-old son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, and their 1-year old daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
