According to the Mail on Sunday, the Sussexes chose a six-bedroom estate nearby as the filming location for their docu-series, which is currently on the market at three times the price of the $11million home Prince Harry and Meghan bought in 2020.

It is likely the couple chose not to film in their home to protect their privacy, but they have previously shared several glimpses inside the lavish residence they share with their children Archie and Lilibet, while Meghan has revealed they fell in love with the property instantly.

Although Harry and Meghan chose not to film inside their home, viewers did receive a rare glimpse inside the property courtesy of the private photos and videos that have been shared in the first three episodes.

They also include a look at the couple's first marital home, Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace, where Prince Harry proposed to Meghan in 2017.

Photos showing Harry taking a phone call in the cottage garden featured in episode two of the series, as the couple's discussed the media response after news first broke of their relationship in 2016.
