Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Home Photos: House Pictures

Former royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living in a gorgeous home in Santa Barbara, California, for the past few years. The couple loves raising their two kids, son Archie and daughter Lilibet, in their $14.7 million property in the prestigious Montecito neighborhood.

Harry and Meghan have offered sneak peeks inside their nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom mega-mansion since settling down in August 2020. The abode — which was built in 2003 — sits on more than seven acres and spans a total of 14,500 square feet.

As the Zillow listing reads, the residence “includes a library, office, spa with a separate dry and wet sauna, gym, game room, arcade, theater, wine cellar and five-car garage.” The exquisite estate also has “sweeping lawns, tiered rose gardens, tall Italian cypress trees, blooming lavender [and] century-old olive trees.”

The pair’s move to Santa Barbara came months after they announced their plans to step back from their roles as senior members of late Queen Elizabeth II‘s royal family in January 2020. Meghan and Harry first relocated to Canada with Archie, but after less than two months, they moved their family to Los Angeles.

However, Harry was “extremely unhappy” in L.A., an insider told In Touch at the time. The duo didn’t stay long, though, as they purchased their Montecito pad that summer.

“Santa Barbara is more his scene than L.A. It’s peaceful and chill,” the source explained. “He has the freedom and space he needs.”

Since getting situated in their digs, it seems Meghan and Harry — who wed in May 2018 — couldn’t be happier about living in Santa Barbara. The Duke of Sussex and the Suits alum purchased the gated property so they could have a “more private” home for their family, an insider exclusively shared with Closer, adding, “the house has a Mediterranean vibe to it … French doors and archways and a pool.”

Aside from feeling more at ease in central California, the source said the property is most ideal for their children, especially Archie, who was born in May 2019. “It’s beautiful and spacious, but not too over-the-top,” the insider explained. “It’s the perfect place for Archie to grow up.”

Considering Archie’s little sister, Lilibet, arrived in June 2021, it’s a good thing the Spare author and the Deal or No Deal alum have more than enough room to raise both of their kiddos!

Meghan Markle Home Office Tour

Meghan gave fans a look at her home office during an August 4 video promoting her “40 x 40” initiative in honor of her 40th birthday. Her beagle, Guy, could be seen resting in a dog bed, as a stone fireplace was visible behind her. Meghan’s desk contained hardcover copies of her children’s book, The Bench, a small vase with white roses and a large healing quartz.

So Sophisticated

Meghan and Harry made their first virtual appearance since announcing their pregnancy on Valentine’s Day. The two sat on a beige couch in their living room while chatting with Spotify about their new podcast “Archewell Audio” during the Stream On event. The couple’s space was on full display, showing off the black-striped pillows on the couch, as well as the curtains and decorative wooden ladder in the background.

However, fans were more focused on the pregnant beauty’s gorgeous ensemble. Per Hello!, Meghan rocked a sleeveless Oscar de la Renta dress that featured blue lace, lemons and vines. Meghan always rocks her maternity style!

Dainty Decor

Harry and Meghan gave fans a new glimpse inside their home while video chatting with the Malala Fund in October 2020. As the duo sat on their off-white couch, they showed off the unique wooden table that they have on display in the corner of their living room. Meghan and Harry hung a wooden ladder behind on the wall and decorated the table with vases of flowers.

Eye for Design

While making a surprise appearance during the America’s Got Talent finale in September 2020, Meghan joined via video call from the comfort of her living room. The brunette beauty sat on a large, off-white couch surrounded by a sea of black-striped pillows.

Behind her, you can see Meghan and Harry decorated their space with a massive rectangular end table, books, candles and a vase with flowers. The pair also hung three nearly-identical paintings on the wall.

Living in Paradise

Harry showed off a lovely room in their estate in a video shared by Trailwalker U.K. to celebrate the kick off of the 2020 relay in September 2020. The dad sat in front of two windows and a large plant while chatting about his role in the fundraising event.

According to Trailwalker’s website, the charity is part of Queen Elizabeth’s Gurkha Welfare Trust. The goal is to fight poverty by having participants complete 100km, or 62 miles, as a team and fundraise nearly $450.

Loving Life in California

While joining a zoom call with Smart Works in September 2020, Meghan sat in front of stone fireplace. In the video, fans noticed the couple decorated their home with a special piece of art that read, “I Love You, California.”

Days later, Meghan and Harry celebrated the hunk’s 36th birthday at their new home. Although the two didn’t have “big” plans in store, Harry was ” happy to be celebrating turning 36 years old at his” abode in Montecito, a source told Closer Weekly shortly after his milestone on September 15.

According to the insider, the pair “invited a couple of close friends” over for dinner and “Meghan baked a cake” for a dessert. Harry was thrilled to show off their home as he is “so proud” of it.

Happy At Home

While appearing via video during his chat with Team Invictus in August 2020, the handsome duke sat at a desk in front of a plain white wall. It seems Harry and Meghan might have plans to change the color of the room as eagle-eyed fans noticed what appears to be two paint swatches. You can also see an empty cabinet hanging behind the prince.
