Welcome, Sussexes!
While the surf world had its collective eye on Tom Brady x Gisele Bündchen x Kelly Slater over the extended weekend, England’s most famous second son and his wife took the penultimate step before finally joining our ranks. As you know, Prince Harry and Princess Meghan Markle made beef with the crown, a few years back, packed bags and moved to the former American colonies. They looked for homes here and there before finally settling in beachfront Montecito, very near Santa Barbara.
Very near Rincon too.
Surf fans eagerly anticipated the two picking up surfboards and adult learning this Sport of Kings but it appeared there might be no real interest… or at least until this extended weekend for it was then that TMZ snapped photos of the Sussexes enjoying a Jack Johnson concert at the famed Santa Barbara Bowl.
Per Glamour magazine:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, back in California after Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral ceremonies, were recently spotted enjoying some soft rock at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Catching members of the royal family having fun at a nonroyal or charity-related event seems surreal to me somehow (like, can you imagine Kate Middleton at Coachella or King Charles III at Six Flags?).
TMZ published photos of the Sussexes taking in the mellow acoustic jams of Jack Johnson, the millennial Jimmy Buffet, at a packed concert on October 5 (no, I will not be explaining this epithet further). According to TMZ, Harry and Meghan watched the show from a special, cordoned section with 10 others, hugging and swaying along to the tunes like an almost normal married couple. Good for them!
Jack Johnson.
The penultimate step preceded by drinking Kona Brewing Company’s Longboard Island Ale, wearing Patagonia shorts, feeling a whistling hollow in the soul. Followed by purchasing a Pyzel mid-length crisis.
Are you ready to welcome royalty?
Exciting!

Date night?! Riiiiight. She wasn’t invited. She showed up early to ingratiate her nasty self.
Poor cuck can’t even get a few hours alone without duchass clingy.
They don’t have titles anymore. The former royal and his wife gave up those titles when he jumped over the pond to pursue personal wealth and his own self satisfaction over the crown jewels and royal duty. Who are the folks that are actually interested in reading about these two dull personalities?
It’s Buffett not Buffet
Jack Buffet?
Come on Chas.
Never purchase a single thing that is advertised to you. That’s how you win. Also research heaps of gay stuff and truck tyre’s and blouses and food you don’t like. Fuck your device’s up hard.
I think Easy E said it best :
“I ain’t your muthafukin role-model”
If Jen See wasn’t there it didn’t happen in the 805. Sorta like Connor Coffin’s secret turn
Too bad they missed the springtime Billy Strings show!! The Deadheads were as thick as the herb smoke, no doubt other stuff too….Great show. Would have them them royals right in. Find their true hillbilly roots.
JJ.?..little too safe for me
Good surfer tho.

shocked you left your mansion.
Billy Strings!!!! Hillbilly blood calling me!! (I cut off the ankle monitor)
Went to a JJ show at that very venue 20 odd years ago. We pre-gamed at a friends house tossing back redbull vodkas. I remember walking to the venue and that is where the remembering ends. My next recollection is the morning after in my bed surrounded by Taco bell rappers. I have tried to avoid JJ and redbull vodkas ever since with varied success.
Probably the best way to remember a JJ concert is not remember it.
That is the most 2002 story I’ve ever heard
of course Steely D. at the Bowl…pre=rolled a dube, pounded some brews and when the curtain opened got paranoid from an excess of security who escorted out those that lit up…not high at the Dan…still depressed!
can one imagine Kate Middleton and King Charles III frolicking at The Elysium Fields?
from the LATimes:
Never in their 33 years have the nudists at Elysium Institute felt so exposed.
They created a home for themselves in Topanga Canyon in the late 1960s after gradually convincing neighbors that a clothing-optional recreational center wouldn’t harm the mountain hamlet.
They ended the threat of raids by sheriff’s deputies on their naked volleyball games and
barbecues by winning a bitter zoning fight with Los Angeles County in the early 1990s.
Last year, when their leased, 8-acre Topanga property was sold and they were evicted, they hurriedly lined up a replacement site in Malibu where they could continue to relax in the buff.
But this week Elysium’s 270 members have no place to hang their hats–or their shirts, trousers or skirts.
“We’re closed,” said Betty Meltzer, director of Los Angeles County’s last nudist enclave. “Elysium has no money. We’ve put the property up for sale.”
After a couple VAL lessons and claimed stinkbugs to the beach, Harry is whistling out to his kid during NSSA heats and yelling at him for blown cutbacks. Meghan likes to eat edibles before watching the kid practice during normal school hours. And a few years later sis is knocked up by a brah that packs board boxes at CI. A true American dream, all thanks to Jack Johnson.
mutually-deserved and very constructive thinking…but Harry isbusy flying drones, Megan has noise reducing headphones, and they forgot that the kid is in the backseat…locked in a quickly over-heating Sprinter…
Jack Yawnson.
Yack Yawnson.
Not a prince and not a princess.
Jackson Browne would call them “The Great Pretenders.”
