00:00 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have gone exceptionally grand with their California starter house.
00:05 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are living large and we're about to take an inside look
00:10 into their massive house.
00:12 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex secured a $9.5 million mortgage to acquire the 7-acre compound.
00:18 They have chosen to make their home in the serene neighborhood of Montecito, California,
00:23 residing in a massive mansion valued at $14 million since they decided to step away from
00:30 their royal duties back in 2020.
00:40 This very opulent residence has an expansive 18,000 square feet, encompassing 9 bedrooms
00:47 as well as 16 bathrooms.
00:56 Despite their attempts to keep the interior of the home shielded from public view, the
01:00 Duke and Duchess of Sussex Harry and Meghan had inadvertently provided occasional glimpses
01:06 into their luxurious home.
01:08 And when you take a look at this mansion, it really gives off royal family vibes.
01:23 This house, where they are raising their young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lillibet,
01:28 seamlessly blends the timeless elegance of royalty with a tasteful fusion of mid-century
01:34 modern aesthetics and a Victorian design element.
01:38 Harry and Meghan have given glimpses into their luxurious home office, especially where
01:46 they conduct their professional affairs.
01:49 Meghan Markle initially provided a sneak peek of their office space in a 2021 promotional
01:54 video and that coincided with the announcement of her 40x40 initiative.
02:07 This is not just any old office space.
02:10 This office is adorned with a stylish $1,699 handcrafted pinewood pottery barn dining table
02:18 repurposed as a desk, complemented by ivory chairs and a $1,800 cashmere Hermes blanket
02:25 and an array of meticulously curated coffee table books.
02:29 This home office, prominently featured in Harry's Heart of Invictus Netflix documentary,
02:35 boasts additional elements such as a striking stone fireplace, a tan woven rug and an abundance
02:43 of natural light streaming in through elegant round top French doors.
02:48 According to The Cut, Meghan Markle said this in an interview with them, "We did everything
02:55 we could to get this house."
02:57 And I don't blame them.
02:59 This house is a beauty, guys.
03:01 She also said that the house is very healing and it also makes her feel free.
03:06 There are also some images from the Meghan and Harry Limited Netflix docuseries that
03:11 provided a glimpse into numerous rooms that they have within their home.
03:16 And a mirror selfie shared by Meghan Markle cradling her daughter Lilibet revealed a fairy
03:22 tale-style nursery that they had set up.
03:25 The room features wooden ceiling beams, plush carpeting, an oval crib and charming nature-themed
03:31 wall paintings.
03:33 Harry and Meghan Markle's living space showcased during her 2020 America's Got Talent appearance
03:38 really showed off all of its opulence with fine art and contemporary accents.
03:45 Pattern throw pillows, a gallery wall and a diptych candle infuse vibrancy into the
03:52 entire room.
03:53 I don't know how many other big words I can use to describe their home.
03:57 Even greenery and flower bouquets abound in their home and they introduce pops of colour
04:03 and dimension to the predominantly monochromatic themes that are seen throughout the home.
04:08 And the exterior of the mansion mirrors the beauty of the interior.
04:13 The expansive property boasts a pool, a tennis court, a tea house, a rose garden, olive trees,
04:20 a two-bedroom guest house and a children's cottage.
04:24 Despite rumours suggesting a potential relocation to another Malibu residence, a spokesperson
04:31 for the couple, Harry and Meghan, have firmly denied that they are moving at all, stating
04:37 that there is no truth to them moving to Malibu or anywhere else.
04:46 The couple, who got married back in 2018, initially resided in Tyler Perry's $18 million
04:52 Beverly Hills mansion before settling into their current house.
04:56 So that's just a brief look at how Harry and Meghan are living.
