Prince Harry Offers Rare Peek Into His and Meghan Markle’s Montecito Home

Prince Harry’s Travalyst organization, a sustainable travel initiative he founded in 2019, kicked off a two-day summit in the South of France.

The Duke of Sussex joined virtually from his home in California.

Prince Harry’s Travalyst organization, a sustainable travel initiative he founded in 2019, kicked off a two-day summit in the South of France.

The Duke of Sussex joined virtually from his home in California. “Travel and tourism relies on destinations, held together by communities, without which we have nowhere to travel to,” Prince Harry said during a panel conversation. “Communities are the beating heart of travel, and we must do better by the people who are the custodians of the places we visit.”
The background of his Zoom offered a rare peek into what we’re guessing is his and Meghan Markle’s Montecito home. Specifically, we’re focused on the three books on the middle shelf behind him: They appear to be Daily Oracle: Seek Answers from Your Higher Self by Jerico Mandybur, California: Living + Eating: Recipes Inspired by the Golden State by Eleanor Maidment, and The New Mediterranean: Homes and Interiors Under the Southern Sun published by Gestalten.

There’s another stack of books on the top shelf, but Harry’s head obscures them in the video. Also on Prince Harry’s shelves are two decorative parrots that appear to be extremely similar to the porcelain birds that decorated Charles and Princess Diana’s Kensington Palace home:

We also spotted framed photographs, and a framed piece of art of Meghan’s outfits from their 2021 New York City trip by illustrator Jennifer Vallez. Jennifer posted on her Instagram, “We have some real International internet Nancy Drews!”

This isn’t the only Jennifer print they own; in February, a drawing of their 2021 holiday card was also spotted in the background of Prince Harry zoom. She wrote, “Omg. I am DYING!!!! A year or so ago, Meghan’s assistant requested prints of some of the drawings I created of her and Harry. I never expected to see that they REALLY have them in their house.”
