Move to the USA

Ever since the Sussexes moved to Montecito, California, they've been trying to turn over a new leaf. But, unfortunately for them, their dream home isn't as idyllic as they thought. First, a body was discovered near the Prince Charles' and Princess Diana's youngest son's home. More recently, on Saturday 28 August, The Mirror reveals that their mansion is just steps away from a cannabis factory.

Disgusting stench

The factory is just a ten-minute drive from the couple's home. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's neighbours have already complained about the stench emanating from the cannabis grow houses.

One resident tells The Mirror that he once had to get out of his car because the smell was too pungent. After numerous complaints from residents, the cannabis company has committed to installing new control systems to eliminate the unpleasant odours. Gregory Gandrud, a neighbour of Archie and Lilibet Diana's parents, says he is reassured by this news.

This is good news for us and also for Harry and Meghan. The stench was getting stronger and coming towards them too.
