Meghan Markle shares rare behind-the-scenes photos of her idyllic home life with Prince Harry and their children
Meghan Markle shared a rare glimpse into life at home with Prince Harry and their two children in a new social media post on Tuesday.
The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex – who has struggled lately with sales of her As Ever products – posted to Instagram a series of moody black-and-white snapshots and verdant images of the grounds of what appeared to be their home in Montecito, California.
The couple moved to the secluded mansion in 2020, after moving on from their British home at Frogmore Cottage earlier that year.
One cute image revealed Harry in his element as he and Prince Archie, seven, played around on the grounds.
A beaming Prince Harry had a comically oversized soccer ball that was large enough for him to roll with his hands as Archie appeared to swoop in for the kick.
Among the most striking images was a tasteful black-and-white photo of herself and Harry embracing.

The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex posted to Instagram a series of verdant images of the grounds of what appeared to be their home in Montecito, California. One fun snap showed Prince Harry as he played on the lawn with Prince Archie, seven, and a giant soccer ball
The two were pictured from behind in athletic clothing as they sat next to each other while Meghan draped an arm over Harry’s shoulder and affectionately nuzzled her head against his neck.
But the romantic aura was dimmed a bit by the fact that she had snapped a picture of the photo from a computer screen – as revealed by a cursor hovering over the image and surrounding text – rather than uploading the original.
She stuck to the black-and-white theme with another photo of herself in a striped button-up blouse and white linen skirt as she appeared to take a nap in the sun.
Meghan was lying on the grass just off a stone path, with a basket of greens and flowers next to her and a large straw sun hat covering her face.
She gave her fans a look into her kitchen in a short video shot over her shoulder that showed her preparing what might have been the supplies for a pasta sauce.
Meghan had cheese, garlic and packs of beef laid out, along with large cans of tomatoes.
As she chopped up an onion on the cutting board, the camera pulled back to reveal the sole glimpse of her smiling visage from the post.
In addition to picturing Archie from behind, Meghan appeared to also show off five-year-old Princess Lilibet, though she only focused on her ‘B is for Beyonce’ T-shirt.

Meghan showed off a rugged double-denim look to highlight her outdoorsiness, and she shared multiple photos that gave a taste of her quasi-rural life.
One sweet snap featured her beloved rescue beagle Guy as he napped on a stone path with some bushes giving him a bit of shade.
Two before-and-after photos highlighted the wildlife on her and Harry’s estate.
The before photo showed a tucked-away bird’s nest with three eggs, while the after shot showed the three fuzzy gray–blue birds as they cuddled up together.
She also added some color with a photo of a basket full of produce, including apples, peaches, heirloom tomatoes, carrots and artichokes, along with a jar of her As Ever jam.
Meghan shared her photos shortly after it was revealed that she had ‘just under 400,000 American visitors’ to her As Ever website since the beginning of the year, after a website glitch in January ‘inadvertently revealed’ vast amounts of unsold inventory.
While no sales data for the brand has been published since its launch in 2025, internet sleuths exploited the glitch earlier this year to discover over 650,000 units of products like jams and flower sprinkles.
For example, her Signature Fruit Spread Box had a total of 137,465 units available, which many Reddit users initially gleefully pounced upon as a sign of flagging sales.

Meghan shared her photos shortly after it was revealed that she had ‘just under 400,000 American visitors’ to her As Ever website since the beginning of the year, after a website glitch in January ‘inadvertently revealed’ vast amounts of unsold inventory; seen in April in Melbourne, Australia
However, a source at the time said that was the amount left over from an initial order of one million jars, adding Meghan’s jam was ‘flying off the shelf’.
Now, data from the digital intelligence platform Similarweb put the number of US website visitors at 392,114 between January and May, while total global traffic was over one million.
Commenting on the figures, a source with knowledge of As Ever told Newsweek that the brand is set to ‘double in size’, adding: ‘By any measure, for any startup, you can’t deny that is anything but a success.’
