While it seems as though none of these qualms are rooted in any personal issues with the royal couple, community members are reportedly concerned about the potential attention — and its tangible consequences — that can come with having famous neighbors, especially as it pertains to traffic.

Yet amid this local drama, there's at least one party who was reportedly happy about Prince Harry and Meghan’s California move — the royal’s older brother, Prince William. The elder Prince is said to have felt relieved that "the drama was gone” following his sibling’s departure from the U.K. in 2020.

“Actually, the more you see about how the Sussexes are approaching these things, it is much more Californian, much closer aligned to activism and celebrity than it is to royalty,” an unnamed senior aide spilled of their new lifestyle, adding that “the point about royalty is it’s the only institution that links together civic society, the philanthropic world, and establishment.”

“The Sussexes know they’re not able to compare to them,” they continued. “The key point is that they’re not even trying. What they are doing is making a difference in their politico-philanthropic world, and that’s great.”

TMZ previously reported on the local backlash against the Sussex’s potential move.
