Let’s talk about Prince Harry, shall we? There's no place like home for the royal, and recently, he gave everyone a sneak peek at his stunning Montecito, California, estate. That's right, folks! Harry, 39, shared this exclusive look while virtually attending the Diana Legacy Awards on Thursday, March 14. Sitting in his beautiful home with wife Meghan Markle and their two adorable kids, Archie and Lilibet, he made sure to honor his late mother, Princess Diana, in a heartfelt way.
During the awards ceremony, as recipients were greeted by Harry on a video call, they got a front-row seat to his breathtaking home. And let me tell you, it’s not just any house—it’s a palace of sorts nestled in the heart of Montecito. Harry wasn’t physically present, but his words carried the weight of his mother’s legacy, leaving everyone inspired.
“I’m sorry I can’t be there in person,” Harry said with a warm smile. “I wish I could be with you all tonight, but I’m grateful for this opportunity to connect virtually.” His sincerity was palpable, and his words resonated deeply with the audience.

Harry and Meghan's Montecito Dream
Now, let’s talk about that home. Harry and Meghan, 42, bought this stunning property back in the summer of 2020 for a cool $14 million. This purchase came after the couple decided to step back from their royal duties in the U.K., seeking a fresh start in the United States. Their decision wasn’t just about leaving behind a life of protocol; it was about creating a new chapter filled with purpose, love, and family. In Montecito, they’ve continued their humanitarian work while running Archewell Productions, a venture close to their hearts.
During the virtual appearance, Harry was seated in a room adorned with beautiful wood furnishings, giving the space a warm, inviting vibe. It’s clear that this home is more than just a house—it’s a sanctuary where Harry and Meghan can focus on what truly matters. The event itself was a celebration of Princess Diana’s legacy, recognizing the achievements of young innovators from all over the globe. What better way to honor her than by inspiring the next generation?
Harry expressed his gratitude to everyone involved in the event. “Thank you so much for inspiring others and protecting my mother’s legacy. It means the world to me,” he said. “Enjoy the rest of your evening, but don’t get into too much trouble if you’re planning to continue the celebrations.”
Prince William Shines in Person
Meanwhile, Harry’s brother, Prince William, made a personal appearance at the ceremony held at the Science Museum in London. William, 41, delivered a touching speech, highlighting the 25th anniversary of the Diana Award, a charity founded in honor of their mother’s belief that young people can indeed change the world.
“I know she would have been incredibly proud to see a charity in her name doing such inspirational work to uplift young people from all corners of the globe,” William said. “She taught me that everyone has the potential to give something back, and that everyone in need deserves a helping hand in life.”
