The Montecito mansion where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reside with their children Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana has 7.38 acres of “calm” and “healing” gardens surrounding it.
In an interview with The Cut, Meghan Markle disclosed that a garden feature was what initially drew them to the property. “When we were walking around the house, those two palm trees were one of the first things my husband noticed. Look at the bottom to see how they are joined. My love, it’s us, he says “said the Duchess.

A portion of their garden was made public for a TIME cover shoot where the couple was listed as one of the 100 most influential people of 2021. The Sussexes reportedly used their own grounds as the backdrop for their famous outdoor photo shoot.

What else do we know about the garden owned by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?
The royal couple displayed their chicken coop, which was filled with hens they had rescued from a farm, during their now-iconic Oprah interview.
In honor of the couple’s son, Archie’s Chick Inn is the name of the wooden building. Love it!
The garden is a haven for their two kids, Archie and Lilibet, according to the original real estate listings because it has a sizable adventure playground.
Two slides, a climbing frame, a tightrope, a helter-skelter, and two different types of climbing walls are all included, and the color scheme is a rainbow of various shades.
The couple has also admitted to having a garden on the property and preferring to eat locally grown produce whenever possible. Prince Charles, who is an avid gardener, is undoubtedly where Prince Harry got his green thumb.
With nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, and a separate guest house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, Meghan and Harry’s home is said to have cost them £11.2 million.
