Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made the town of Montecito more glamorous, says a neighbour.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who moved to California back in 2020, are living a ‘splendid’ life alongside Hollywood A-listers.

The couple’s neighbour, Richard Mineards, tells Ici Paris: ”The community is waiting for them. They’re gnashing at the bit. The cachet of a Duke and Duchess. They live rather splendidly, it couldn’t be a nicer place.

“We have got a lot of very rich and very famous people here, and none of them have a security retinue like the Sussexes.”

He revealed: “There was even this anecdote of an elderly neighbour who wanted to give her a documentary he had made on local history. The old man never got past the gate.”

“She cultivates a very controlled image. She pays attention to every appearance, every word, every gesture. And here in Montecito, we appreciate simple people, even famous ones,” he notes.

“Oprah Winfrey, for example, shows up at charity events. Meghan doesn’t play the community game,” says the insider.

Tom Pelphrey just shared what he felt when his 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, visited him on the set of his new HBO series, Task.

In a PEOPLE in 10 interview about Task, the 43-year-old American actor, who shares his daughter with fiancée Kaley Cuoco, revealed Matilda, along with her mother, stopped by to see him on the set of Task, which was mostly filmed in Delaware County, Pa.

Pelphrey said, “This was one of the great things about the job — where we were filming, I rented a house and Kaley and Matilda were with me, but also my family’s so close that they could come and visit.”

He added, “My mom came at least once a week. Grandma got to see Matilda, Matilda loves her grandma. My grandmother got to come, so Matilda got to spend time with her great-grandma.”

The star of A Man in Full, who hails from Howell Township, N.J. and studied at college in-state at Rutgers, unveiled that his other relatives, such as his aunts and pals, also paid him a visit on set or at the rented house.

“I’m still close with a lot of the guys I’ve known since I was 3 years old. It was a very special job in that sense. I really felt a sense of home,” Pelphrey admitted.

It is pertinent to mention that Matilda’s first movie set visit was in July of last year when she went with Cuoco during filming.
