Meghan Markle, Prince Harry receive shocking update on Montecito home

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who moved to California in January 2020, have received bad news about their £11million Montecito mansion.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's luxury home, where they enjoy life with their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, has been placed under a tsunami advisory following a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia.

Meghan and Harry live in the upscale coastal town of Montecito. Authorities have taken precautionary measures to avoid any untoward situation in the town.

California's Santa Barbara County, where Montecito is located, was included in a tsunami advisory issued by the US National Tsunami Warning Center on Tuesday night.

Residents, including Meghan and Harry, were advised to avoid beaches and stay out of the water, with officials warning that the risk could persist for hours after the initial wave.

By Wednesday morning, the first waves generated by the earthquake had reached coastal areas of the United States, including California and Hawaii.

Communities along the Pacific coast were urged to seek higher ground as tsunami alerts were triggered across Hawaii, Alaska, and the US West Coast.

In Hawaii, evacuation orders were issued for low-lying areas. Sirens sounded across parts of Oahu, prompting residents to pack and flee inland.

Large traffic jams developed as many rushed to escape the danger. The scenes come just months after the Sussexes' home was similarly impacted during the California wildfires in January.

Megan and Harry are said to be planning to move somewhere else as they had faced the almost same situation in the past. On January 14, the couple's property came under a red flag warning as wildfires surged through the Los Angeles area. 

Montecito Fire Department officials warned that strong Santa Ana winds, known as "Devil Winds," could drive dangerous fire growth, advising residents to be ready to evacuate.
