Meghan Markle is offering a rare peek into her and husband Prince Harry’s dreamy Montecito, California, abode.
Meghan, 44, shared Instagram Story footage on Thursday, February 5, where she walked into the couple’s home office to deliver Harry, 41, a package of As Ever x Compartés chocolate.
“Hello,” Harry said once Meghan handed him the newly released treat. “Oh, yes please! Thank you, love you.”
Meghan’s As Ever lifestyle brand recently launched its White Chocolate & Flower Sprinkles Duo, combining Compartés’ signature chocolate with her company’s original flower sprinkles.
In the social media footage, Harry sat at a wooden desk that was decorated with an array of beige-colored candles in front of a white dresser. The chest held a variety of family photos, a framed illustration of two pandas cuddling and a board of various crests.
Beneath Harry’s setup, the couple’s dog Mamma Mia was seen resting in a wicker dog bed on a gray, patterned pillow. (Harry and Meghan are also puppy parents of Pula, while dog Guy died in January 2025.)
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have been married since 2018, relocated from Harry’s native England to California two years later in 2020 when they stepped down from their duties as senior working royals.
After a brief stay at friend Tyler Perry’s Los Angeles compound, Harry and Meghan settled in Montecito with kids Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
“We were looking in this area, and this house kept popping up online in searches,” the Suits alum said in a 2022 interview with New York Magazine’s The Cut. “We didn’t have jobs, so we just were 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 that I can’t afford. That doesn’t feel good.’”
Despite their hesitations, Harry and Meghan decided to tour the house anyway.

“One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees,” she told the outlet. “They’re connected at the bottom. He goes, ‘My love, it’s us.’ And now every day when Archie goes by us, he says, ‘Hi, Momma. Hi, Papa.’”
According to Meghan, she and Harry “did everything [they] could to get” the house.
“You walk in and go … joy. And exhale. And calm,” she stated. “It’s healing. You feel free.”
Meghan has since offered brief glimpses of the property via her social media and in the couple’s Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan. In contrast, the streamer’s With Love, Meghan is not filmed on the property.
“I wanted to protect that safe haven,” she told People in 2025 of deciding not to film her lifestyle series at home. “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.”
