Meghan Markle lives with her husband Prince Harry and two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in Montecito but she lived the first two years of her life 80 miles away in the San Fernando Valley.
Her mother Doria Ragland and father Thomas Markle lived together when Meghan was born, although they sadly split two years later. During Meghan and Harry's Netflix docuseries, the Duchess shared two personal childhood photographs taken inside her family home.
One of the unearthed snaps showed Meghan has a toddler wearing a romper in their lounge alongside her father Thomas. On the table was a dolls house and there was a paisley rug on the floor.
Another image was of mother Doria, wearing a white zip-up jumpsuit, holding a Hello Kitty teddy bear. She had a beaming smile on her face as she looked down towards a young Meghan, who was wearing a patterned red dress while clutching her own doll.
The photo gave another glimpse into the family's modest home with wooden floors, white walls and lots of personal trinkets.
After her parents split, Meghan moved with her mother into a top-floor apartment on South Cloverdale Avenue, Mid-Wilshire.
In the hit Netflix show, Meghan and her mom even revisited the property, driving by to reminisce about their time there. "We had our parties back there," pointed out Doria as they cruised past.
Doria has her own private sanctuary in View Park-Windsor Hills in LA and photos of the exterior show it is complete with a clay roof, lime green exterior, a bay window and palm trees framing either side of the front walkway.
Her father had an apartment behind the Hollywood strip, where Meghan would visit ahead of moving away for college.
