Harry and Meghan Face Wildfire Evacuation Risk

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are at risk of evacuation from their $29 million Montecito mansion due to raging wildfires in Southern California. Southern California Edison (SCE) is considering a 'Public Safety Power Shutoff' in the area, which could disrupt power and communication, complicating emergency responses if needed. As wildfires spread amid high winds, Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency, affecting tens of thousands of residents. The couple, who have lived in the high fire risk area for nearly five years, purchased their home in 2020 for $14.65 million, which has since appreciated in value. The nearest active fire is approximately 70 miles away in Malibu, yet the dry conditions pose a threat to their neighborhood. With winds exceeding 100 miles per hour, firefighting efforts are challenged, and many residents have already evacuated their homes.
