With 6.5million hashtags, it is safe to say that houseplants are a pretty big deal right now, and even the royals are fans! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have showcased beautiful greenery inside of their homes during virtual appearances, and SaveOnEnergy have noticed that palm and fig plants are among the favourites!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live in an £11million mansion in Montecito, Santa Barbara with their son Archie, and it is this nine-bedroom home where they will welcome their new daughter, who is due this year.

Meghan Markle has a very large fig plant at her US home

During one virtual appearance from within the gorgeous property, Meghan showed off an area with a rustic stone fireplace and windows overlooking the idyllic grounds. Inside, there is plenty of greenery too as the Duchess has a very large Fiddle leaf fig plant posited in the corner of the room. It appears to be thriving in this well-lit space and the couple have displayed it in a large terracotta pot.

In the UK, Prince William and Kate Middleton are also embracing the popular nature trend, and we've seen a few different plants in the background of their video calls.

The Duke and Duchess embrace indoor plants

We know that Kate is a keen gardener, having designed her own garden for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and it's lovely to see that her green-fingered passion has made its way indoors, too.
