The Sussexes gazed out across the vistas, drinking in the beauty of the place as they remembered exactly what it was like when they stayed there. Harry went on to explain how Archie and the dogs played outside together.

Another area of the sprawling home that was showcased during the filming was Archie's temporary bedroom, complete with grand four-poster bed! Although the tot slept in his cot, being just 11 months old at the time.

A sweet clip showed the couple settling their young son ahead of bedtime, as he is wrapped in a cute sleeping bag.

The main bed had been decorated with cuddly toys and a large 'A' cushion, making the little one feel right at home.

The couple took out a mortgage to afford their dream mansion 

While Tyler's property may have had the most incredible views, the couple's own mansion also boasts incredible scenic panoramas. The docuseries included a candid clip revealing Archie on his father's shoulders as the doting dad kicked a football across the vast lawn at their Montecito mansion.

Meghan's mother Doria Ragland stood outside too, joining in the sporting fun. One of the couple's dogs was also seen running along the grass – how idyllic!

Harry and Meghan's iconic palm trees that encouraged them to buy the property could also been seen in the shot.

Speaking to The Cut, Meghan revealed that it was this garden feature which sold them on the property in the first place. "One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees. See how they’re connected at the bottom? He goes, 'My love, it's us'," the Duchess said.
