Meghan and Harry moved into their Montecito estate in 2020, soon after stepping back from their roles as senior royals. Meghan revealed they discovered the property online but were hesitant to view it due to its hefty price tag. From hidden gardens to cozy family moments, here's everything you need to know about their lavish California estate and more. Guys, I have an important announcement about this channel. There is someone trying to take this channel, Famous Entertainment, down and have everything that I've worked so hard on deleted. Click the link in the top comment and I'll explain everything at the end of this video, so please stay tuned. After leaving their British residence, Frogmore Cottage, in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle settled in Montecito, California. The couple purchased a sprawling 16-bedroom estate in this exclusive neighborhood for around $14 million. Now, five years later, Meghan's Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, has fans curious if the show offers a glimpse inside their lavish mansion. However, in a recent interview, the Duchess revealed she chose not to film at their home, instead using a nearby rental with a similar aesthetic. Now, this choice caused some controversy with fans wondering why Meghan opted to film the series at a nearby $8 million property over her own home. Despite the show being advertised as a glimpse into her personal life, only a few scenes were shot at her actual residence, showing off things like the chicken coop and the beautiful garden. But a crew member from Meghan Markle's Netflix show has spilled the beans on what the Sussex's sprawling Montecito mansion is truly like after visiting the property to film a few of the scenes for the lifestyle show. Meghan admitted when they first discovered their actual home, they were hesitant to tour the interior, choosing only to explore the outside. Having just left the royal family and without jobs at the time, affording the luxurious estate seemed unrealistic. Meghan said in 2022, we didn't have jobs, so we were just not going to come and see this house. It wasn't possible. It's like when I was younger and you're window shopping, it's like, I don't want to go and look at all the things I can't afford. That doesn't feel good. But curiosity won out, and once the couple toured the home, they fell in love with it before even stepping inside. Meghan noted that her husband was captivated by two palm trees visible from the house, which they immediately saw as a sign that this was their perfect home. The mansion's outdoor features are impressive, including a large pool, tennis court, chicken coop, rose gardens, and a spacious terrace equipped with a wood-fired stove and barbecue. Despite their initial reluctance, the couple fell in love with the property and made the purchase, transforming it into their family home for themselves and their two children, Archie and Lilibet. Their estate boasts numerous amenities, a library, a shared office, sauna, gym, games room, arcade, wine cellar, and five-car garage. The original decor included classic wooden beams and expansive windows that flooded the living spaces with California's natural light. Since moving in, Meghan and Harry have reportedly made several renovations, although it's unclear how much of the home's original charm remained. Additionally, the property includes a tea house and a two-bedroom guest house, giving ample space for visitors. Montecito has become home to many celebrities, like Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ellen DeGeneres. For Meghan and Harry, this mansion is particularly special. It's the first house they ever owned. The one crew member who got to film at Casa Sussex has shared their experience, describing the estate as a slice of paradise. Though Meghan and Harry have kept much of their home life private, Meghan has been slowly sharing more glimpses of their day-to-day life at the mansion. Her newly restored Instagram account has offered followers peeks into the property, including sweet moments of her baking in the kitchen with her kids. With Love, Meghan's director Michael Steed addressed why most of the series wasn't filmed at Meghan's house, explaining the unfamiliarity of the filming location added authenticity to the show. He said, For me, imperfection is a wonderful thing. It was fun watching her trying to get used to the kitchen because it's not her place. So we didn't hide that fact and she's kind of walking and looking for things. I really wanted to embrace and celebrate all of the mistakes and mess and all Steed and his colleague both praised Meghan's kindness and generosity as a host, with Steed describing her as someone who always goes the extra mile for others. Meghan herself has been open about her decision to limit filming inside her family's home, explaining she and Harry wanted to preserve the safe haven they created for their kids. She admitted, I wanted to protect that safe haven. We're a close-knit family and I love these moments.

With a crew of 80 plus people, that's a lot of people to have in your house. While most of the Netflix series was filmed elsewhere, it's clear Meghan and Harry's Montecito mansion remains their ultimate sanctuary. A place where they can truly be themselves. Hey everyone.
