The home will have a library, a gym, an office, and a home theatre. There’s also going to be a spa with separate dry and wet saunas, a game room, an arcade, a large wine cellar, where Megan could store her favourite Tiganello vino. The home offers plenty of room for Archie to play around, such as a giant backyard that has a pool, a tennis court, tea house, and a children’s cottage which are all set among tiered rose garden, Italian cypress trees and olive trees.

The couple haven’t forgotten to include a two-bedroom, two-bathroom guesthouse for their guests. This can be perfect for Meghan’s mother Doria, as the couple are thinking of having her move in with them.
They have also ensured extra privacy in this room, and paparazzi eyes or lenses can’t reach them. They had had enough with them and their drones, so this house ensures safety from all prying eyes.
