Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had no shortage of ups and downs since their fairytale wedding in 2018.
The pair left the UK just a few years later and were stripped of their royal patronages and honorary military titles and have faced a number of heated debates with the royal family about security.
However, the couple has also welcomed two children, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor born in May, 2019, and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor born in June, 2021.
Despite Harry having grown up in the lap of luxury in London’s Kensington Palace, he now says he feels ‘at home’ in his house across the pond, and has gone into details in a recent interview with NBC’s Hoda Kotb.
Here’s everything you need to know about the couples’ relocation and life abroad.
Where do Harry and Meghan Markle live?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from royal duties and left the UK in early 2020. They have now settled in America’s sunny Los Angeles, California.
Before their move, the couple used to live in Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, which they loaned to Princess Eugenie and her little family until recently.
The former Suits actress and her husband now live in an £11 million home that they bought in LA’s neighbourhood of Montecito in Santa Barbara.
Speaking to the Today Show’s Hoda Kotb in a new interview, Prince Harry said: ‘Home for me now is, for the time being, it’s in the States. And it really feels that way as well.
‘We’ve been welcomed with open arms and we’ve got such a great community up in Santa Barbara.’
Their neighbours include Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, and Ellen Degeneres.
Meghan and Harry’s home is situated on a private road with large security gates, so not a lot is known about their mansion.
The house is reported to have nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, alongside an enormous 7.38-acre garden.
Their grounds also contain a large outdoor pool, a tennis court, a tea house, and a children’s cottage for Archie and Lillibet.
Within their home, there is a library, an office, a spa with a sauna, a gym, a games room, an arcade, a movie theatre, and a wine cellar.
Stepping outside, the pair have a spacious garage with five parking spaces, as well as a guest house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
We have had the chance to get a few glimpses at their home thanks to the public interviews and video calls the pair have held there.
Are Harry and Meghan popular in the US?
Harry and Meghan have been a hot topic both in the UK and in the US since the start of their relationship.
However, the past few years has been quite tumultuous for the duo, with their resignation from royal duties and move to the US.
Their ups and downs with the royal family might have impacted the percentage of people who sympathise with them, but it’s had no negative impact on their popularity.
The majority of US publications cover news about Harry and Meghan on a regular basis, and numerous American companies have come forward to collaborate with the two.
They’ve made multi-million-dollar deals with both Netflix and Spotify. And, Meghan’s long-awaited podcast will be released in summer 2022 on Spotify.
