Meghan Markle is back from all the fun of the Invictus Games in Canada, and to mark her arrival back home in Montecito, she shared a candid snap with her fans on Instagram. 

On Wednesday, she took a picture of the haul of goodies she had returned home with for her two children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

"A taste of Canada and The Invictus Games for our little ones!," the Duchess of Sussex captioned the picture. "Cheering you on from home!"

The gifts included custom-made jerseys from Team Nigeria as well as an array of tasty treats. But the picture also revealed Prince Harry and Meghan's ever so beautiful view from their kitchen window.

The family's cooking area looks out onto their outdoor kitchen where they have a barbecue and a giant outdoor table for hosting. The area has a pergola covered in vines giving it a postcard-worthy feel and the views from that alfresco space are across their verdant gardens.

Along with the Canadian goods, there was a very large metal bucket on Meghan's kitchen side filled to the brim with oranges. We can only assume that these have been freshly picked from their gardens because we've seen Prince Harry and his son Archie do a spot of orange collecting themselves, in a sweet moment shared on Netflix, during their Harry & Meghan docuseries.

Luxury features 

As well as an abundance of beautiful orange trees, their estate has many noteworthy features such as a chicken coop, playpark and a vegetable patch for the family to grow their own veggies.

In a rare video around the estate, shared by Luxury Homes on YouTube, we have seen the Sussexes' incredibly impressive Japanese Tea Room which sits on a stream in their grounds. The structure looks like something taken from a five-star hotel, and it provides the ultimate zen den for the couple.

Their beautiful home, named Chateau of Riven Rock, was purchased for $14.65 million in 2020 when the pair took out a mortgage to secure it. The estimated value is now a staggering $29 million, according to Zillow, making it a killer real estate investment.

It hasn't been documented what works (if any) the Sussexes have had done to the property, however, sleuth fans may have spied the fencing in one of Meghan's recent posts indicating outdoor renovations have occurred.

Harry and Meghan no longer have a UK base after relinquishing Frogmore Cottage, but did you know that they loved the idea of the property being their forever home at first.

In candid comments written in Harry's memoir, Spare, he described how the couple felt about the house.

"Meg and I moved our office into Buckingham Palace. We also moved into a new home. Frogmore was ready. We loved that place. From the first minute. It felt as if we were destined to live there," he said. "We couldn't wait to wake up in the morning, go for a long walk in the gardens, check in with the swans. Especially grumpy Steve. We met the Queen's gardeners, got to know their names and the names of all the flowers. They were thrilled at how much we appreciated, and praised, their artistry."
