Meghan, Harry hobnob with Oprah, Kevin Costner at glitzy Santa Barbara fundraiser

On Friday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at Kevin Costner's One805 Live! fundraiser in Santa Barbara. The star-studded event, held at Costner's $26 million estate, aimed to raise funds for First Responder agencies in Santa Barbara County, providing financial aid and mental health support to these essential frontline workers.

The fundraiser was attended by a host of A-list celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres, who were seen mingling with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Maroon 5 headlined the event, treating guests to a captivating live performance.

Prince Harry, donning a casual black shirt and blazer, and Meghan Markle, elegantly dressed in a stylish monochrome coat, were seen conversing with Costner on stage before he addressed the crowd. "Good afternoon, everyone," Costner greeted the attendees. "Kev, what's this place cost, what's it worth?" he jokingly asked, showcasing his wit and charm.

While the event was filled with glitz and glamour, it also marked a significant personal milestone for Costner, who recently settled his divorce with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner after 18 years of marriage. In an amicable resolution, the actor agreed to pay more money than initially stated in their prenuptial agreement.

Despite the hardships he has faced, Costner remained focused on praising the first responders and expressing his gratitude to the community. "It's a place that I've had a lot of good luck in my life, and I've tried to not throw up a wall around it. So, thank you for coming," he said, acknowledging the importance of supporting those who dedicate their lives to helping others.

For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, this charity event was an opportunity to show their support for their local community. The couple resides in Montecito, a prestigious area of Santa Barbara County known for its affluent residents. However, rumors suggest that they may be considering a move further south to Malibu, where they are reportedly eyeing an $8 million mansion.

In recent weeks, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been making more frequent public appearances. They were spotted attending Beyonce's Renaissance Tour concert in Los Angeles earlier this month and recently returned from the Invictus Games in Germany, an event created by Prince Harry in 2014 to honor wounded, injured, and sick military service members.

Overall, the One805 Live! fundraiser brought together Hollywood royalty and actual royalty to support a worthy cause. By joining forces with celebrities like Kevin Costner, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to use their platform to raise awareness and make a positive impact on the community.
