Back in July, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who tied the knot on May 19, 2018, moved into their new mansion in Montecito, Santa Barbara, as reported by Hello Magazine.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly purchased the fabulous property for $14.65 million. Meanwhile, here are Harry and Meghan's close friends in California.

SERENA WILLIAMS

In 2014, Serena Williams first crossed paths with Meghan at a charity football match. Williams is even one of the Duchess' new neighbors as they both live in the same gated community.

OPRAH WINFREY

Meghan and Harry's son, Archie, is a member of Oprah Winfrey's book club, so there's no doubt that she will be included in the couple's circle of friends. The TV host also owns a mansion in Montecito.

In Harry and Meghan's new home, many of the high-profile names who live within the area enjoy the anonymity and exclusive community the place affords them.

Among the couple's A-lists neighbors are Adele, Sir Elton John, Jennifer Lawrence, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Sir Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.

Meanwhile, Meghan recently made a surprise television appearance on CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute. She honored the heroes who have come together amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meghan and Harry shocked the world earlier this year by announcing they would step down as senior members of the royal family. They would rather not be dependent on public funds in their new lives.
