Human remains have been discovered just feet away from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's California mansion. Construction workers discovered the remains of an adult while working yards away from the couple's home in a nearby estate, <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/news/2997766/human-remains-found-yards-harry-meghans-mansion/">the Sun</a> reports. The remains are centuries old and are thought to be of Native American origin - namely of a person who belonged to the Chumash tribe who inhabited the area in 700AD.

"Until we have an official opinion from the forensic anthropologist we're not going to be saying one way or the other," the sheriff spokesperson told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9642249/Very-old-human-remains-just-yards-away-Meghan-Harrys-California-mansion.html" rel="nofollow">Daily Mail</a>. <img class="wp-image-1263111168" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/06/Harry-and-Meghan-1.jpg" alt="Prince Harry and Meghan Markle." width="588" height="586" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Alamy / Malcolm Park Military Archive]] The <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/inside-meghan-and-harry-s-new-14-7m-nine-bed-16-bath-california-home-1.4329424" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Irish Times</a> reports that Harry and Meghan moved into the nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom property in June of last year, having purchased it for $14.7 million.
