Huge £27m mansion where Harry and Meghan filmed Netflix documentary isn’t theirs

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been labelled as “fake” after it emerged that the £27million used to film interview with the pair for their Netflix documentary was not actually their own home.

Many had assumed that the backdrop of their personal chats on the series were shot in the £11m Montecito, California home.

But it has now been revealed that it isn't – it belongs to a bloke involved in a multi-million-dollar fraud scam.

The home belonged to Mark Schulhof, who had previously been charged with raking in a whopping £110m pound by defrauding disabled United States veterans.

The scam happened in 2014, and he was forced to pay out around £23m in damages because of his actions involving company Quadriga.

New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman slammed him, and said: “To take the money that people are trying to spend to help disabled veterans just to feed your own overhead and to pay off your executives as Quadriga did here is pretty despicable."

The mega property is 13,599 sq ft and has six-bedrooms – one of which is inside a guest house – as well as a giant private cinema.

The address is also extremely fancy – 888 Lilac Lane, just one minute away from Harry and Meghan's tiny home in comparison.

The house is currently for sale through Riskin Partners Estate Group.

A spokesman for the group describes the property as having “vast ocean views, flat grounds, luxe amenities, and incredible design coalesce”.

They add: “With an address that embodies good fortune and prosperity, 888 Lilac was exquisitely executed to embody the California Dream at its finest.

“Built on over two acres of lush grounds anchored by unobstructed ocean and mountain views, the panoramic setting is strikingly beautiful and well suited for small intimate gatherings yet expands effortlessly for large, lavish events.”

The property is currently for sale, and the Sussexes are known to be on the look out for a new home – having seemingly grown sick of their obviously cramped pad.

Social media users took to Twitter to rage about the couple.

One wrote: "Meghan and Harry are fake about everything, her stories in podcast turned out to be fake, fake photos and lies about Royals.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

And another posted: "Even the house is fake."

A third wrote: "'Our story and our truth' has turned into stock photos, stock videos, other people's houses, photos of other people and a history of the commonwealth."
