Prince Harry previously revealed he ensured the memory of his late mother, Princess Diana, by putting a picture of her on display in his son Archie's nursery.
In the AppleTV+ docuseries, The Me You Can't See, the Duke revealed: "I've got a photo of her in his nursery, and it was one of the first words that he said — apart from 'mama,' 'papa,' it was then 'grandma'. Grandma Diana," he shared.
While Harry and Meghan have never revealed any more insight into how their children's bedrooms are decorated in their Montecito home, they were previously reported to have used an eco, vegan paint called Auro when creating a nursery for their son at Frogmore Cottage, so they will have likely done the same at their new home.
