Meghan Markle, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, actually filmed a lot of their Netflix documentary in a £27.8million mansion nearby, viewers did get a glimpse inside the couple’s jaw-dropping home in Montecito. One room in particular that got viewers talking was their home office.
Prince Harry and Meghan do much of their work from home, and one scene saw the couple sitting side-by-side as they worked at their shared desk, with a beautiful fireplace behind them.
It is not the first time royal fans have seen inside the space, Meghan’s interview with The Cut saw Allison P. Davis welcomed into the couple’s home office.
“The two run Archewell from their shared home office, specifically from two plush club chairs placed side by side behind a single desk, facing into the room like thrones,” she said.
The Duchess of Sussex also gave a full look at her incredible working space on her 40th birthday as she launched a special initiative with Archewell.

Meghan sat at her rustic wooden desk on one of two cream dining room style chairs, while the other was draped with an Hermes blanket.
Behind the Duchess of Sussex, there was a traditional fireplace in full view.
The mother-of-two used a stack of white books to prop her laptop up to eye level, and her sprawling desk was full of lots of pleasing products in matching muted tones.
There were two large trays for paperwork, a white crystal and a golden vase with white flowers. Meghan also had a floral tray to the side of her with a Burleigh teacup and a plate.
The room has been described as light and airy with multiple windows, one of which was occupied when Prince Harry made a funny cameo in the video, attempting to juggle to distract his wife.
Previous virtual appearances have shown off other rooms in the house, including the family’s living room which has been curated with the same attention to detail.
The stylish space is filled with coffee table books, candles and crystals and adopts a similar colour palette of natural wood and cream.
Meghan’s 40×40 project is set to encourage people around the world to commit to giving 40 minutes of their time to support women going back to work.

Luxury Interior Designer Sanel Konyar, the Founder of Interior Kollection, an online interiors emporium, spoke to Express.co.uk about Meghan and Harry’s Montecito home.
In terms of recurring themes in Meghan and Harry’s home, Ms Konyar said: “Modern, Neutral, muted tones which allow the interior to flow effortlessly from room to room and thoughtful and stylised accessories.
“I think it does have a feminine feel to the colour scheme and chosen accessories. However, like most couples we work with on our interior design projects, I would imagine that both generally sign off the finished designs before commencing.
“It may be that Megan took the lead in initiating the design brief and feel for their new home, but I would suggest that both were involved at various stages of the design process.”
There are a lot of cream, white and gold interiors inside the Sussexes’ home, which is evident from zoom interviews they’ve done and also their Netflix documentary.
The expert continued: “I think as a cosmopolitan young modern couple, it reflects their love of contemporary luxury design and trends with a nod towards heritage perfectly.
“They have created a luxury modern living space that also pays homage to their love of heritage – note the large rustic wooden table complete with carved legs and what looks like the original stone-clad fireplace. These are traditional design aspects. Even the fireguard has an art deco feel to its ironwork.
“Leading such busy lives means that home becomes a sanctuary, a place of rest, peace and quiet, and their interior design reflects this. Personality-wise, I would say this type of client interior brief is most popular with well-travelled, high-flying, celebrity and busy executive clients who desire a haven of tranquillity.”
