1 The Montecito Mansion Kept Coming Up in Their Searches
The Duchess of Sussex explained to Davis that she and Harry had their eye on the Montecito mansion they now call home while they were still living in the UK. “We were looking in this area (Montecito, California) and this house kept popping up online in searches,” Meghan told her. ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
2 But It Cost $14.65 Million
The property, which Davis describes as a “classic Tuscan villa, a Napa vineyard and a Beverly Hills country club,” was listed for a whopping $14.65 million. The nine-bedroom, sixteen-bathroom estate also included a pool and tennis court. And, according to Meghan, because they were jobless, it didn’t seem realistic.
3 “We Didn’t Have Jobs,” Meghan Said
“We didn’t have jobs, so we were just not going to come and see this house. It wasn’t possible,” Meghan said about their plight. “It’s like when I was younger and you’re window shopping – it’s like ‘I don’t want to go and look at all the things that I can’t afford, that doesn’t feel good.’”
4 They Did “Everything They Could” To Get the House
However, Meghan told the publication that she and Prince Harry did “everything they could” to get the home. She added that they loved the garden, likening the two intertwined palm trees in the garden of the property to her relationship with Harry. “See how they’re connected at the bottom?” Meghan said. “He goes, ‘My love, it’s us,’ and now everyday Archie goes by us, he says ‘Hi momma, hi papa.’”
5 “It’s Healing” She Said
However, the lovebirds were able to afford the luxurious pad after signing their multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify. “It’s healing, you feel free,” she said about the home.
