Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have built a wonderful home life in Montecito to raise their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and they even grow their own vegetables.

In the couple's Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, the environmentally friendly addition was revealed when the camera recorded one of their pet dogs outside, next to the patch of growing veg.

It's likely young Archie, who turns four in May, likes to get stuck into gardening with his parents considering we've seen him tending to the chickens in their coop called 'Archie's Chick Inn'.

The Sussexes' stunning garden is a real highlight of their vast estate, which spans an impressive 7.38 acres. The outdoor area has a huge playpark ideal for their kids to learn and play and there is also an outdoor pool perfect for when the US sun is shining.

Their luxury lifestyle doesn't come without its drawbacks though, as due to the location it could be at risk of mudslides.

Multi-millionaire business mogul Terry Cunningham originally built the home, and he has since warned the royals about this.

During the Sussexes' time in the home, they have experienced some extreme weather with their local area experiencing droughts, floods and fires.

The Duke will be leaving the family behind in May when he travels to the UK for his father, King Charles III's coronation without Meghan and the children.

It is believed that Harry will stay at the couple's former UK home, Frogmore Cottage. It has been agreed that the couple will no longer lease the property from this summer, as per the monarch's request. This comes as a result of Charles looking to slim down the monarchy and reduce the number of vacant properties owned by The Crown Estate.

Now the Sussexes won't have a permanent place of residence across the pond it is unknown when they will next pay a visit. The last time the whole family were in the UK was for the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations last June.
