Meghan Markle Offers Glimpse into Montecito Home Amid Award News

Meghan Markle recently provided a glimpse into her home in Montecito, California, through a post on Instagram. The 44-year-old former royal shared a photograph of her living room, which featured her beagle, Mia, resting peacefully on a cream armchair. The image highlighted a striking floral arrangement alongside a luxurious £1,490 (approximately $2,000) Hermès throw, drawing attention from her 4.2 million followers.

In her Instagram story, Markle included a caption that read, “Delphinium, Nigella, Veronica – meet As ever. With garden roses and Queen Anne’s lace (and a very sleepy Mia).” This intimate look into her life comes just as Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, prepare for an upcoming trip to New York City.
