Hollywood A-lister's blunt verdict on neighbours Meghan and Harry

Hollywood movie star Rob Lowe has offered a frank and blunt verdict on what it's like to have Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for neighbours. The Wayne's World star, a longtime resident of Montecito, admitted the royal couple's arrival has put the quiet town firmly on the map and pushed up property prices, but also emphasised the drawbacks.

He told E! News: "They definitely have brought a lot of attention to my sleepy little town. Let me tell you something: once the royals move into your neighbourhood, the neighbourhood is never going to be the same." The 61-year-old continued: "The good news is property values go up, the bad news is the lines are longer at Starbucks." Despite their efforts to keep a low profile, some locals are frustrated by the influx of tourists and increased traffic.
