Just like the rest of their property, the room is the perfect balance between traditional and luxurious. Elsewhere, the Sussexes have a games room, a wine cellar and a cosy cinema room.
Outside the beauty continues with an epic swimming pool complete with loungers, a pond, a chicken coop and plenty of space for the children to roam. They are also kept entertained with a giant playpark which was already installed before the couple took out a mortgage on the home.
The exterior of the house is very impressive with a huge front door, climbing foliage and traditional rustic shutters. The property is officially known as the Chateau of Riven Rock, and it certainly lives up to its French name with a postcard-worthy façade.

In an interview with The Cut, Meghan revealed that her and Harry fell in love with the house instantly. "We did everything we could to get this house," Meghan told The Cut. "Because you walk in and go… Joy. And exhale. And calm. It's healing. You feel free."
