Human remains have been found near Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's $15 million mansion in California.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex bought the sprawling 18,000-square-foot property in August 2020.
"Very old" human remains were discovered just yards away from their Montecito, CA home, Barbara sheriffs officials told the Daily Mail.
The remains appear to belong to a “young adult" and date back to more than 10,000 years, the authorities revealed to the outlet.
Investigators brought in a forensic anthropologist to assist them.
In preliminary findings, the forensic anthropologist found that the bones could belong to Chumash people, who lived in the area for 11,000 years.
"Until we have an official opinion from the forensic anthropologist, we’re not going to be saying one way or the other,” a spokesperson for law enforcement told the Daily Mail.
Authorities are allegedly in communication with the local Native American commission and discussing what to do next if the bones do belong to an indigenous person.
