Meghan Markle has revealed some of the inside of her $14million mansion she shares with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in California.

The 44-year old Duchess of Sussex gave her 4.2million followers a peek inside her luxurious Montecito living room, posting a clip to her Instagram stories.

The footage shows her beagle, Mia, sleeping on a cream armchair and matching footstool. In the clip, a bouquet of flowers can be seen, arranged in a white stone vase with the logo from Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever.

PEOPLE magazine revealed the product is one-of-a-kind and was created for the Netflix show, ‘With Love, Meghan.’

As Ever has so far released jams, wines, teas and other food items, but Meghan has previously suggested that she is considering expanding her into fashion and homeware.

In April, Meghan said: “I hope that people see that reflected in whatever it is that I’m creating and putting out there... It’s just an extension of me.”

The footage also included a sneaky royal nod: the garden roses were wrapped in Queen Anne’s lace.

The Duchess's living room also featured a brown and cream throw from Hermès, retailing at $2,000.

In the background of the story, patio with an outdoor chair and table can be spotted.

It was revealed this week that the Duke and Duchess are New York bound next month, where they plan to accept an award for mental health advocacy.

The award will be given to them by the Project Healthy Minds’ Humanitarians of the Year Award for their online campaigns.

The duo are expected to accept the honour at the World Mental Health Day Gala on October 9 in New York City, with plans of more engagements the following day.

In a statement, the couple said: “Working with families and young people to prioritize safety online has been some of the most meaningful work of our lives.

“As parents ourselves, we have been moved to action by the power of their stories and are honoured to support them.

“We’re proud to be long-time partners of Project Healthy Minds as we work together to shine a light on what remains one of the most pressing issues of our time.”

The couple set up their own charity, The Archewell Foundation in 2020, and in 2024 they launched an initiative to tackle child safety online called The Parents' Network.

Earlier in the week, Meghan posted on her brand’s Instagram account posing with her two dogs at what it thought to be her mansion in Montecito.

The caption of the reads: “Crisp air, blue skies, and the sweetest moments.”

Meghan gave a tour of her home to The Cut in 2022, explaining that her and Harry were drawn to the property because of the two Dr. Seussian palm trees that grew right in the center of the lawn.

“One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees,” she said. “See how they’re connected at the bottom? He goes, "My love, it’s us."'

She told the magazine that their son Archie used to talk to the trees like they were his parents, saying: “Now every day when Archie goes by us, he says, "Hi, Momma. Hi, Papa."'
