American actor Rob Lowe on Sunday finally opened up about the rumours that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s explosive sit-down with Oprah Winfrey was shot at his house. There have been reports that the outdoor setting where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down for the wide-ranging interview that gripped international attention was, in fact,  Lowe’s home in California. “It is funny,” the actor told the UK broadcasters, adding that at first everybody had comprehended that the interview was shot at his friend Ted Sarandos’ house who runs Netflix. Then it turned out that the sit-in was shot “at my house,” said the actor. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into Lowe’s neighbourhood which also houses prominent celebrities like Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.

“They [Harry and Meghan] definitely have brought a lot of attention to my sleepy little town. Let me tell you something, once the royals move into your neighborhood, the neighborhood is never going to be the same,” the American actor had told the E! Daily Pop podcast in a live-streamed conversation. But one of the main questions that have been circulating across the social media after the Royal couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey has been where was the conservation held. Many speculated that the manicured garden bore resemblance to Lowe’s abode. “Here's my thing and I have no idea: I think they just plain old shot it at Oprah's. I swear to you, and they just said it was a mystery location,” the actor said in a separate broadcast on Sunday.
