MEGA MANSION
When it comes to putting down roots for their Hollywood dream, Meghan, 41, revealed they instantly fell in love with the nine-bedroom Montecito home when they viewed it back in 2020. As well as a tennis court, pool, guest house and even a chicken coop, the sprawling pad has a whopping 16 bathrooms.
Speaking about the mansion where they raise their children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, Meghan explained, ‘We did everything we could to get this house. Because you walk in and go… Joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free.’ There was even a special garden feature that drew the couple in, with Meghan confessing, ‘One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees. See how they’re connected at the bottom? He goes, “My love, it’s us.”’ Bought for the tune of £11 million, it’s a good thing the Sussexes signed those big budget Netflix, book and Spotify deals…
FAMOUS NEIGHBOURS
Situated in the uber-exclusive neighbourhood of Montecito, California, the area offers Harry and Meghan the chance to live the life of luxury while surrounded by some of the biggest stars. The couple’s neighbours have included Oprah Winfrey, who conducted their infamous 2021 interview, as well as Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, Ariana Grande and Gwyneth Paltrow.
However it seems some of the area’s non-famous residents aren’t too impressed with the amount of attention the couple have brought to the area. One commented, ‘Friends turn their noses up at it all,’ while another added, ‘People here want a quieter life.’

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'
Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
