Hey there, friends! Let’s take a little trip to sunny California and peek into the life of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The couple has settled into their new home, and guess what? It’s not just any house—it's a place designed with love, simplicity, and their 20-month-old son, Archie, in mind. An insider exclusively told Closer Weekly that their home features a “bright and airy” playroom for little Archie. Now, let’s dive in and see what this space looks like and how the couple is raising their little prince.
Archie's Playroom: Big on Windows, Small on Glitz
Let me paint you a picture of Archie’s playroom. Imagine a room filled with natural light streaming through large windows, creating the perfect ambiance for playtime. But here’s the kicker—Harry and Meghan aren’t going all-out with the bling. “Archie’s playroom has big windows, but it isn’t ostentatious like many celebrity playrooms,” the source explains. The couple wants to keep things grounded, ensuring their son grows up with values that matter. It’s a refreshing approach, don’t you think?
A Royal Playroom Fit for a King (But Not Too Royal)
While Harry and Meghan are doing everything possible to “not spoil him too much,” it’s clear that Archie’s playroom is still fit for a king. The insider shared that there’s a pile of storybooks and soft activity books, along with a designated storage area for all of Archie’s toys and puzzles. This setup isn’t just about keeping things tidy; it’s about fostering a love for learning and creativity. And it seems to be working! “Archie [is] already a bookworm,” the insider reveals. “Harry and Meghan spend hours reading to him, especially before bed. He’s an incredibly engaged child and eager to learn.”

Beyond the Books: FaceTime and Family Time
Now, let’s talk about more than just books. Archie, born in May 2019, loves staying connected with his family through FaceTime. “Archie is such a character. He’s full of energy and is a fast mover,” a previous source told Closer in late September. The couple can’t wait for Archie to make friends in the area, which is something they’re really looking forward to. With a Santa Barbara home boasting a pool in their massive backyard, the proud parents have been teaching Archie to swim. They’re “spending a lot of time” outdoors with their little bundle of joy, ensuring he grows up healthy and active.
A Healthy Lifestyle Starts at Home
It’s not just about playtime and learning for Harry and Meghan; they’re also focused on creating a healthy lifestyle for their family. “They’re building a vegetable garden and are growing fruit and herbs,” the source explained. Since meeting Meghan, Harry has adopted a healthier diet. “Everything they eat is organic,” the insider shared. This commitment to health and sustainability is something they want to instill in Archie from a young age.
A New Chapter in Santa Barbara
As of early August 2020, Meghan and Harry, who tied the knot in May 2018, officially became residents of Santa Barbara. The couple lived in Canada for over a month after stepping back from their royal duties in Queen Elizabeth’s family in January. After relocating to Vancouver, they moved to Los Angeles and rented actor Tyler Perry’s home from March until they purchased their $14.7 million property in Santa Barbara. “Harry and Meghan have no regrets whatsoever about purchasing their home in Montecito,” the insider shared. “He says he feels safer and more relaxed at their new home and enjoys the freedom. It’s nice to see [Harry] smiling again.”
