Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the UK in 2020 and embarked on carving out a new life together in Montecito. At the time, they had their young son Prince Archie, who was born in 2019, and they went on to welcome Princess Lilibet in 2021.
On the whole, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have chosen a life of privacy, away from the glare of the media. However, their Netflix docuseries in 2022 did give fans a fair few glimpses into their idyllic home life. Since then, Meghan has made an Instagram return and launched her own lifestyle brand, As Ever, meaning she has begun sharing more looks into her wholesome family life.
See the Sussexes' family album snaps – everything from Princess Lilibet as an adorable newborn through to the brother and sister duo plucking roses from their fairytale garden...
