Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s home in Montecito, California, is under threat from the raging wildfires in Los Angeles. The family, which includes their children Archie and Lilibet, may be ordered to evacuate due to the power shutoff warnings issued by Southern California Edison (SCE). A large part of Montecito has been deemed a “high fire risk” area, with warnings of a power shutdown already issued.
The couple’s home is located in Santa Barbara County, which is prone to power outages during wildfires. Meghan and Harry could be preparing to leave their home as early as 6 p.m. Wednesday local time, according to the SCE map. The family will join hundreds of others who have already been evacuated from their homes due to the fires.
The wildfires in Los Angeles have caused widespread destruction, with at least five people killed and countless others injured. Over 150,000 people have been forced to evacuate the area. Celebrities such as Mandy Moore and Eugene Levy have also had to leave their homes amid the chaos.
A state of emergency has been declared in Los Angeles, with bulldozers deployed to clear roads and hundreds of firefighters battling the fires. The worst-affected areas include Altadena, Sylmar, and Pacific Palisades, where luxury properties are at risk. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s representatives have not commented on the situation yet.
The royal couple’s recent loss – their rescue beagle Guy – comes as they face this new challenge. They have been sharing updates about their experiences with wildfires on social media.
