Inside Meghan and Harry’s $14 million Montecito mansion

The Duchess of Sussex gave royal fans an intimate look at their $14 million home in Montecito, California, which she shares with Prince Harry, three-year-old Archie and one-year-old Lilibet in a new interview.

Meghan Markle, 41, posed for a photo shoot in the yard of her San Ysidro Ranch home after sitting down to Variety Magazine in its first interview since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

She also spoke to the camera to answer some of the questions, with footage also showing the Duchess posing in her lush green garden in front of shrubs sprouting purple flowers.

In a zoomed-out shot of Meghan’s garden, royal fans could see the hedgerows that surround the land, with a stunning mountain backdrop, as the Duchess posed in front of lush Sicilian lemon trees.

A zoomed-out photo of Harry and Meghan’s garden showed the Duchess posing in front of two lush Sicilian lemon trees ripe with yellow citrus fruits ready to be picked.

The trees stood in front of tall, well-trimmed dark green hedges that encircled the garden like a fortress, offering privacy to the couple and their young children.

Royal fans also got to see the view Harry and Meghan look forward to every day – with plenty of forests and mountains on the horizon.

Inside the house, Meghan sat on a simple black chair and dressed in a chic black blouse as she talked to the magazine.

With her thick, dark hair down and in curls and adorned with a touch of gold jewelry, she looked relaxed as she talked about her loves — including the rom-com When Harry Met Sally — and how she hoped to make a difference in her life. the world .

Meghan sat in front of traditional French doors that opened onto a patio with a table and chairs, flooding the room with natural light.

Meghan spoke to Variety magazine about her relationship with the Queen and revealed her everyday family life in Montecito, California.

Eagle-eyed fans may also have been drawn to the plush curtains that dress the French doors, which were gold and intricately embroidered with burgundy and green floral patterns.

During the interview, the Duchess of Sussex revealed what family life is like in their Montecito home.

As Harry and Meghan had previously told during her interview with The Cut in August, the Duchess said she shares an office with her husband as they work on projects as part of the Archewell Foundation – adding that they were just like any other family post – pandemic, performing much of their work from home.

Meghan said: “It allows us to spend a lot of time with our children at this very special moment in their lives. We’ll never get this time back.”

She added that on a typical day she will break up with Archie and Lilibet before she and Harry participate in Zoom conversations together.

However, she added that the couple is also trying to split their time so they can get more work done.

The San Ysidro Ranch, where the house is located, is described as, ‘A quiet old luxury resort with simple bungalows tucked into a mountainside overlooking the Pacific coast.’

It is also described as ‘unpretentious’, despite being largely inhabited by wealthy people.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex first moved to the US in 2020, shortly before the Covid pandemic, after stepping down as senior members of the royal family.

The move sparked rumors of a rift between the couple and the rest of The Firm, which has been going on for over two years.

However, royal fans hoped for signs of reconciliation after the Queen’s death on September 8, when the Duke and Duchess were in the UK for a royal visit.

Two days after Her Majesty passed away, Harry and Meghan joined the Prince and Princess of Wales in Windsor (they stayed in Frogmore Cottage on the estate) to meet well-wishers and read tributes laid for the late monarch.

A few days before the Queen’s funeral, as she lay in state in Westminster Hall, King Charles also authorized his youngest son to wear his military uniform to attend a vigil of princes with the Queen’s other grandchildren, where she kept watch on her coffin.

Speaking about the Queen’s death in her interview, Meghan said she was “grateful” to have known the monarch, with whom she shared a “warmth”.
