Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's home in Montecito is their sanctuary.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are parents to five-year-old Prince Archie and three-year-old Princess Lilibet, have been living at their $29 million mansion in the elite area of Santa Barbara since 2021.
The pair haven't shown the entirety of their home with the world, favoring their family's privacy, but we have been treated to the occasional glimpse over the years, including their spacious and beautifully rustic kitchen.

Meghan has made no secret of the fact that she loves cooking and baking. In fact, unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that the Duchess recently released a Netflix documentary all about her love of all things related to food, lifestyle and more.

However, thanks to her newly created Instagram page, we did get a peek at her kitchen on a new reel recently.
Take a look through the gallery to see…
© InstagramThe kitchen looks like the one in our dreams. Meghan and Harry have not one, but two kitchen islands in their home – meaning they have plenty of space to prepare food and bake with their two children.
In this shot, we can see that one island is a wooden-topped island with plenty of storage underneath. Hanging overhead, there are an array of bronze utensils including pots and pans in various sizes.

Further down the kitchen, we can see the second kitchen island which has the same marble stone worktops.
Meghan has placed a large vase with stunning orchids in the middle. Beyond that, we can see a circular dining table with plenty of chairs around it for the whole family.
We can also just about make out the flooring, which appears to be hardwood and beautifully polished.

© GiggsterWhen comparing their kitchen today with how it looked when they first moved in, it looks totally different. The walls appear to have been painted in a pale yellow color before Harry and Meghan put their stamp on it.
The slightly dated décor, specifically the paisley curtains, has been removed ,and the dark wooden cabinet to the right of the door leading outside has since been replaced with a cream version.
The couple have also updated the appliances to new versions and extended the kitchen diner area further out by moving the dining room table more towards the garden where it gets plenty of daylight.
