The Los Angeles home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has reportedly been subject to two intruder scares in the space of 12 days. The Montecito mansion where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex live with their children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, was attended by police on both occasions, according to the Mirror.
The publication says that Santa Barbara Police records logged cops visiting the $14 million property on May 19 at 5.44pm after reports of a trespasser. Just 12 days later, the force responded to a second intruder alert. The report was made on May 31 at 3.21pm – hours before Harry and Meghan were due to return to the US after attending the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Police records show Meghan and Harry's US home has produced six security alert calls in the last 14 months. Both calls in May were logged as “trespasser”, “property crimes” and “suspicious circumstances”.

Royal expert Angela Levin told The Sun: “Maybe Harry should concentrate more on the security in California rather than making complaints about his security in Britain. After two intruder alerts in 12 days, surely he should be making the protection of his family in the US his priority.”
Harry recently won permission to sue the Home Office over his security arrangements, having begun a legal challenge in February after it refused to allow him to pay for his own protection when visiting the UK. The ruling at the High Court means he will now be able to take the case for a judicial review after Harry and his team had argued that his US-based entourage do not have sufficient jurisdiction in Britain to be able to protect him properly.
The Mirror says the couple have renewed the lease on Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, which receives 24-hour police protection, despite quitting royal duties and moving to California in 2020.
