"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."

The extract reads: "As they settled into the nine-bedroom, 7.4-acres, 18,671-square-foot property (which, like nearly all average couples, they took a mortgage out on), Harry and Meghan enjoyed the lush grounds with Archie, who was now running around with boundless energy and making the most of the private playground at his disposal." Then, Harry confirmed this in his own book spare, writing: "So we pulled together a down-payment, took out a mortgage and in July 2020 we moved in."

The Sussexes have a wonderful life in the US and speaking in 2022, Meghan revealed what her pretty ordinary morning routine looks like with her two children. We've also seen her gardening and tending to the family's chickens in wholesome moments.
