Do royals increase the lines at their local Starbucks?
It just keeps going and going, and its all just so... entertaining! The current arc of Harry and Meghan and their flight to California is the best thing that has happened to the ongoing story in years. Advertisement  Now there is a new twist. I thought the family was all hunkered down, as you do after a new baby arrives: getting up for midnight feedings, entertaining the toddler, watching lots of TV, embracing the sleeplessness. But it is not so! ), cause extra-long lines at their local Starbucks in Montecito, California! This info comes from actor Rob Lowe, who also lives in Montecito. Once the royals move into your neighborhood, the neighborhood is never going to be the same, he told E! News. The good news is property values go up. Insider sent a reporter to Montecito to investigate. (Talk about hardship assignments!) There have indeed been longer lines at the Montecito Starbucks, a barista confirmed. But it has nothing to do with Harry and Meghan. Because of COVID, theres a lot of mobile orders, the barista explained. So the lines to pick up have been longer. (This is a nationwide problem not specific to Montecito.) Also, Ive never seen Rob Lowe.  Well, then. The reporter did further due diligence and talked to several other locals, who confirmed that they havent seen a trace of the royals since they moved to town last summer, not even paparazzi. Lowe has, though: I saw Harry once driving, he told E! That is definitely the sort of close personal connection we commoners imagine all celebrities have to one another.
