Meghan Markle recently offered a serene glimpse into her family life in Montecito, California, with a soothing video shared on her Instagram Stories on October 19. The clip, accompanied by soft jazz music and the sounds of the wind, shows a beautiful view from a vine-covered archway, capturing the tranquil landscape of her backyard. In the distance, two palm trees gently sway in the breeze, a sight that holds significant meaning for the Duchess and her husband, Prince Harry.
In a previous interview with The Cut in 2022, Meghan shared how these two palm trees caught Prince Harry’s attention when they first toured the property. The trees are connected at their base, a feature that Harry immediately recognized as symbolic. “One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees,” Meghan recalled. “He goes, ‘My love, it’s us.’” The trees have since become a part of their daily life, with their son, Archie, now 6, often greeting them as he walks by, saying, “Hi, Momma. Hi, Papa.”
The palm trees are not just a cherished feature of their home; they also inspired Meghan’s brand As Ever, with the company’s logo featuring a palm tree flanked by two hummingbirds, symbolizing balance and harmony in her life and work.
Meghan has been open about the challenges of balancing her personal and professional life, particularly as a working mother. She often juggles her business commitments with family duties, saying at the Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., “I want the life-work balance, if such a thing exists. I’m still going to go and chaperone the first-grade field trip and run back and try to finish the meetings.”
Through her posts, Meghan continues to share intimate moments of her life in Montecito, giving followers a glimpse of her idyllic lifestyle with Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, 4. These personal touches have allowed fans to connect with the family on a deeper level, showcasing their peaceful, fulfilling life away from the public eye.
