Trump Supporters Rally in Montecito, Troll Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Celebrity Neighbors

Supporters of former U.S. President Donald Trump organized a celebratory “Trump Train” rally on November 17 in Montecito, California, after his victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. The affluent neighborhood, known for its high-profile residents, including Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Oprah Winfrey, became the setting for a boisterous display of support for Trump.

Political Rally in a Celebrity Haven

The rally featured a convoy of vehicles adorned with MAGA flags, loud horn honking, and enthusiastic supporters wearing “Make America Great Again” gear. Social media posts from attendees highlighted the political nature of the event, with some participants mocking the liberal-leaning residents of Montecito.

One participant shared on social media, “Our daughter and her friend joined the Trump Train in Montecito today. Naturally, the liberals were not happy about it.”

The rally took place on Coast Village Road, a key area in Montecito lined with the homes of celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, Gwyneth Paltrow, Katy Perry, and Rob Lowe. Many of these celebrities had openly supported Kamala Harris during the election. While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle refrained from endorsing a candidate, analysts believe a Democratic win would have likely been more favorable for their residency status in the U.S.

Trump’s Criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Donald Trump has previously expressed strong opinions about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, particularly concerning their immigration status and public criticisms of the Royal Family. Earlier in 2024, Trump suggested he might revoke Harry’s residency rights, accusing the Biden administration of protecting the Duke by keeping his visa application details private.

In a past interview, Trump stated, “I wouldn’t shield him. He betrayed the Queen, which I find unforgivable. He’d have to face the consequences on his own if it were up to me.”

Trump has also accused the couple of taking advantage of their royal titles while being critical of the monarchy, calling the Royal Family “too lenient” in dealing with the situation.

Divided Reactions in Montecito

The celebratory Trump rally brought a clear political divide to Montecito, a neighborhood typically associated with Democratic supporters. The event highlighted the growing polarization within communities, with Trump’s supporters seizing the opportunity to celebrate their victory in an area known for its ties to Hollywood elites and liberal politics.

For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the political environment poses potential challenges as Trump’s administration returns to power, with immigration policies and public scrutiny adding to their complexities of life in the U.S.
