Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have embraced a private life in California after stepping down from their official royal duties.
Harry and Meghan, who got married in 2018, relocated from the Duke of Sussex’s native England to the Golden State in 2020, two years after their famous nuptials. After a brief stay at friend Tyler Perry’s sprawling Los Angeles pad, the royal couple settled in Montecito with kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
As Harry and Meghan launched new careers on their own, the former Suits actress set her sights on the lifestyle space, starting with her As Ever product line and Netflix’s With Love, Meghan docuseries. She, however, opted against filming the DIY content in her own home.
“I wanted to protect that safe haven,” Meghan told People in a 2025 interview. “We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments — putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day. Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that’s a lot of people to have in your house.”
The next year, multiple outlets including The New York Times and CNN, reported that Harry and Meghan planned to move back across the pond in time for their kids’ school year but will retain their Montecito pad.
