Harry, Markle, and their 2-year-old son, Archie, became neighbors with actor Orlando Bloom and his fiancée, Katy Perry, in July, when the royals moved into their $14.65 million estate in Montecito, California. Perry and Bloom purchased their Montecito home for $14.2 million in October 2020.
A 2021 episode Dax Shepard’s podcast “Armchair Expert,” Prince Harry shared that he and Bloom, who has a daughter, Daisy Dove, with Perry, alert each other when there are photographers in the area.
“Just two days ago Orlando Bloom sent me a message because he’s down the road and we sort of keep in contact because of the paparazzi,”Harry said. “He sent me a photograph, which his security got, of this long-haired guy with a beanie on, with his AirPods in, with his massive camera lying in the back of his 4×4 truck, blacked-out windows, a woman driving … and he’s laid down in the back of this truck taking photographs of them out with their kid, and whoever else is in that area. How is that normal? How is that acceptable?”
