As Prince Harry returns home to his Montecito mansion this week to join wife Meghan Markle and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet following a three-week solo tour, Express.co.uk takes a closer look at the lavish mansion the royals are now accustomed to across the pond.
The Sussexes now live in a £11 million mega-mansion in Montecito, California,on an 18,000-square-foot property surrounded by trees and greenery.
The lavish home features nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, all imbued with a combination of modern and Victorian architectural elements for the family of four.
Three years ago, the Duchess inadvertently shared a sneak peek at her home office in the property as she launched her 40×40 campaign, revealing a £1,300 pine wood table she used as a desk, ivory chairs and stacks of coffee table books.
It also featured a stone fireplace with metal doors emblazoned with majestic filigree and a number of bright green house plants of various sizes and species that receive plenty of natural light through the tall windows and round-top French doors.
Fans have seen a handful of sneaky peaks at the interior of the couples’ luxury abode in home videos and photos they shared in their self-titled Netflix documentary.
One such image saw the Suits actress cradling her newborn daughter Lilibet, now three, as she took a selfie in a mirror and revealed a black-and-white look at her nursery.
The room featured a woven oval crib, some fairytale characters drawn across the walls, including a little squirrel over the wooden doorframe, and an abundance of light spilling in from windows off-camera.

House plants have seemingly made their way into every room of the mansion, with even a little orchard decorating the nursery.
Outside of the home, the expansive property is surrounded by a pool, tennis court, tea house, rose garden, olive trees, a guest house, where Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland resides, and a children’s cottage.
However, the mega-mansion was not the same home that provided a backdrop for their controversial bombshell docuseries Harry & Meghan in 2022.
Hello! Magazine reported that the couple opted to film the sit-down segments of the series at a different, but almost more lavish, estate just 11 minutes away from their home.
The dazzling property they filmed in was reportedly on the market at the time for £25 million ($33 million) and boasts a pool, spa, private gym and crystal chandeliers.
