If the large family pool outside with its row of sun loungers doesn’t scream vacation park, we don’t know what will!
The property’s remaining outdoor area, which covers an incredible 7.38 acres and has a wide range of plants and animals, is also a major highlight. Its spotless flower beds and adorable vegetable patch were glimpsed in their Netflix documentary.
The Duchess has previously admitted they were instantly smitten with the property. “We did everything we could to get this house,” Meghan said to The Cut. “Because you enter and leave… Joy. then let out a breath. also peace. It’s therapeutic. You sense freedom. They were also won over by two trees that were present. Meghan said, “Those two palm trees were one of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house. “Did you notice how they’re joined at the bottom? ‘My love, it’s us,’ he says. And now Archie always says, “Hi Momma,” when he passes by us. Hello, Papa.

How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle afford their £11 million home?
With regard to how the couple acquired the mansion, Harry mentioned it in his book Spare, writing: “So we pulled together a down-payment, took out a mortgage, and in July 2020 we moved in.”
However, there was a chance that the royals might not have purchased this dream home because they nearly skipped the opportunity to see it.
We didn’t have jobs, so we just weren’t going to come and see this house, Meghan said in a statement to The Cut. It couldn’t be done. I remember doing window shopping when I was younger and thinking, “I don’t want to go and look at all the things I can’t afford.” That makes me feel bad.
