It seems that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are once again in the limelight, this time due to the story of a grand piano supposedly gifted to them by Tyler Perry. According to Meghan, this piano was presented as a housewarming gift for their luxurious Montecito home.

However, it turns out that this gift might be more of a tale than a genuine offering. In reality, the grand piano was already part of the home when they bought it. Meghan, who has previously claimed to have faced objectification during her time on *Deal or No Deal*, has spun a narrative about receiving a gift that was essentially just another piece of furniture left behind by the former owners.

One can’t help but wonder if she’s continuing the same victim narrative she has been promoting since joining the royal family.

Speaking of their residence, the Olive Garden Mansion— a name that invites thoughts of hearty breadsticks—holds a few surprises within its walls. For instance, there’s a stripper pole in the saloon-style gym.

While some may argue it’s merely another form of exercise, it’s hard not to chuckle at the juxtaposition: here’s a woman who once bemoaned her objectification now living in a home that seems to scream, “Welcome to my bimbo fantasy.” The mansion features dated decor that looks like it was taken straight from the retirement home of a wealthy octogenarian—definitely not the modern aesthetic one might expect.

Amid the laughs and eye rolls, the question arises: what on earth are Meghan and Harry doing in this house? They’ve made grand statements about their lavish lives and future plans, yet they haven’t even changed the flocked wallpaper in the screening room. Could it be that their finances are more strained than they’d like to admit?

The reality check hits hard when you consider that maintaining such a vast property comes with hefty bills that don’t seem to align with their current cash flow situation.

While they tout stories about buying land in Portugal to appear more cosmopolitan, one can’t shake the feeling that it’s all smoke and mirrors. If you squint hard enough, you might see the signs of a struggling couple trying to maintain an image that simply doesn’t add up.

Remember Harry’s admission in *Spare* about his musical challenges? I’d wager the only sound that piano could produce is the echo of silence, much like their uncertain financial future. Let’s not overlook the supposed grandeur of their chicken coop, which they’ve paraded around as a modern art installation. One would expect more from a property of that size than just a clucking barnyard.Where are the lavish pool parties and extravagant terraces? It seems as if they’re trying to convince us they actually live there, but every glimpse we get reveals empty rooms and neglected spaces.

There’s even speculation that they might not be living in the Olive Garden Mansion at all. Early listings suggested that this property could also be rented out for events.

Given their financial circumstances, it’s hard to dismiss the theory that they might be using it merely as a backdrop for their Netflix aspirations rather than as a true home.

The maintenance alone for this estate could easily cost upwards of a million dollars a year. With Harry and Meghan’s income streams drying up faster than you can say “Spotify,” one must wonder: was this truly a wise investment, or just a desperate attempt to prove something to the world?
