In her recent tell-all interview with The Cut, Meghan Markle shared a rare insight into her family life and home. Since closing her lifestyle blog The Tig back in 2017, the Duchess reveals little about her latest buys, but we now know her home fragrance of choice is the Bassett Rose Water Candle from Soho House.

Meghan shares her £10 million home in Montecito, California with her husband Prince Harry and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
"Meghan, relaxing in a cosy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and perfectly marshmallowy, and hers," wrote Allison P. Davis for The Cut. "An invisible hand has lit a Soho House–branded rose-water candle (the founder, Nick Jones, is a friend from ‘long before I met Harry,’ she says), and that scent fills the air."

It's no secret that Diptyque is a known favourite of Meghan's. On her now-defunct Instagram page, she once shared a snapshot of her side table and the photo featured her favourite flower, the peony, with a Diptyque Figuier candle.
