MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry’s £11million LA mansion could be at risk of a killer mudslide, a new flood map has revealed.
A Storm Impact Consideration Map from the Montecito Fire Protection District shows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s home in the centre of a predicted mudslide path.
The couple bought their nine-bed mansion in Montecito, Santa Barbara, in 2020 – two years after torrential rain caused devastation in the area.
The storm wrecked 130 homes and killed 23 people in the millionaire’s village.
But the Mirror reports the threat still remains today – with Meghan and Harry’s home believed to be in the firing line of any further destruction.
Montecito’s danger map shows the couple’s seven-acre estate – which lies between two creeks – in a predicted mudslide path.
And John Frye, of the Santa Barbara Flood Control District, warned: “It’s not if it happens again – it’s when.”
The potential for mudslides in the area continues to rise after wildfires incinerated much of the vegetation that protects the hilly land around the village.
Wildfires devastated Santa Barbara County in late 2017, destroying 1,063 structures and causing $2.2billion of damage.
Terry Cunningham, 62, who used to own the Sussexes’ home, said: “Their place wasn’t touched during the mudslides but it’s near enough to the creek that you’d pay attention if it happened again.”
And Montecito Fire Chief Kevin Taylor warned: “We are still at risk for debris flow and will be for a couple of years.”
