Meghan Markle, 43, has shared a throwback picture of herself inside the grounds of Frogmore Cottage in a video montage uploaded to announce her beloved dog's death.
The Duchess was seen in a casual ensemble – a blue sports bra and black zip-up jacket and she teamed the look with a pair of shades. Her sweet dog, Guy, was seen climbing on her and putting his paw up as the royal beamed for the camera.
UK residence
This wholesome moment took place when Meghan was living in the UK, inside the grounds of Frogmore Cottage.
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry's summerhouse can clearly be seen in the background of the shot.
It's not the first time that fans have been given a small peek inside Frogmore Cottage as in the Sussexes' docuseries, Harry & Meghan, photos from their time in the UK were used.
One picture showed Harry taking on painting duties, adding what could be a protective coat of sealant to their summer house. Another candid selfie from the Duchess revealed she was ready to tackle some gardening with a pitchfork in her hand.
The royals moved into the two-bedroom house, nicknamed 'Nott Cott', before they got married on 19 May 2018 and it underwent £2.4 million of renovations ahead of them living there. They have since spoken out about the humble living arrangements, indicating that it was too small. "No one would ever believe it," commented Oprah Winfrey when she came to visit the couple.

Sir Michael Stevens, Keeper of the Privy Purse, said: "We can confirm that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have vacated Frogmore Cottage. The Duke and Duchess have repaid the expenditure incurred by the Sovereign Grant in relation to the renovation of Frogmore Cottage, thus leaving the Crown with a greatly enhanced asset."
Across the pond

Meghan's video also offered up a chance to see her new life stateside, including a sweet moment where she carried her daughter Princess Lilibet in her arms through the verdant gardens of their expansive property. Watch the full video below...
Harry and Meghan's estate is rather impressive with its own pool, vegetable patch and playpark. Inside, there's a wine cellar and games room too!
It is worlds away from the Duchess' humble beginnings living in a top-floor apartment on South Cloverdale Avenue, Los Angeles with her mother Doria Ragland. Meghan would also spend time at her father's place near the Hollywood strip.
