Meghan Markle shares sweet glimpses of life in Montecito: Flower arranging, daughter Lilibet chasing chickens, and more

Meghan Markle’s life in Montecito, California, seems very different from the typical “royal” living. In fact, the Duchess of Sussex enjoys a more grounded life, getting outdoors with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two kids, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie Harrison, in their Mediterranean-style mansion.

In the March 16 update on her Instagram, Meghan Markle shared a glimpse of her life in Montecito. One of the clips featured her 4-year-old daughter with a pair of chickens. Meghan shared a video of herself arranging flowers in what appeared to be their backyard.

On her Instagram stories, Meghan shows two chickens and giggles before Lili appears in the frame, reaching down to pet one of them. Princess Lilibet sports rainboots and a purple coat for the chicken coop visit, and her red hair falls over her shoulder as she leans down.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a chicken coop at their house nicknamed Archie's Chick Inn, nodding to the name of their son, Prince Archie, 6. Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan bought their home in Montecito in 2020 after stepping back from their royal roles in the U.K., and their daughter was born in California in 2021.

The Duchess of Sussex also shared a video of herself arranging flowers. Meghan previously opened up about her passion for flower arranging in her series With Love, Meghan, sharing that she got into the hobby when her friends had flower arranging as an activity at her 2019 baby shower in New York City when she was expecting Prince Archie.

In her Instagram clip, Prince Harry is all for it, as he is heard off-screen complimenting his wife’s work. "It's beautiful," he says, to which Meghan giggles and says, "Thanks." Harry then adds, “So pretty in pink.” After sharing a close-up look at the bouquet, another clip appeared to show her getting some purple flowers from a tree.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
