Meghan and Harry moved to California in 2020, after initially setting up home in Canada following their departure from the UK, and now live in Montecito with their children.

The Duchess of Sussex stepped back from being a senior working royal for a new life in the US when Prince Archie of Sussex was 10 months old.

Harry and Meghan have opted to keep their children away from the public eye, instead choosing to let them grow up with their privacy.

Meghan has shared some images of her children on Instagram over the years, but often keeps their faces hidden or partly hidden.
