Ever since the Duchess of Sussex re-joined Instagram after a five-year hiatus from the app, she has been slowly sharing more of her life at home with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.Â
Taking to her Instagram Story on Sunday, Meghan, who has amassed 2.1 million followers (and counting) on the app, shared several glimpses of her sprawling 7.38-acre garden.
âA small break from work to soak in the weekend,â penned the mother-of-two as she panned the perfectly manicured lawns at her $29 million home in Montecito.Â

âFirst blooms and blossoms of the year,â Meghan added, lapping up the sunshine as she walked through her vibrant garden with her dogs.]
The Duchess shares her love for gardening and the outdoors with her father-in-law, King Charles.Â
The King has made no secret of the fact he finds solace in being a horticulturist, having spent the last three decades transforming the land on his Highgrove Estate into an organic farm, strictly limiting the use of antibiotics and other harmful chemicals.

In the royal biography, Charles IIIÂ by Robert Hardman, it has been revealed that the King has an extra special sanctuary at his Cotswolds property.
Robert writes: âIn good times and bad, as both the Prince of Wales and now as King, he likes to retreat to his âsanctuaryâ, his tiny chapel in the grounds of Highgrove, to gather his thoughts.â

Charles told Robert in 2008: âThe great thing is that it is somewhere where nobody can get me. Anywhere in the house, there is always a telephone, or somebody can always come. It is very important to have somewhere just to allow a moment.â
The gardens at Highgrove the monarchâs private residence in Gloucestersire.
He has also overseen and nurtured gardens at his Scottish home, Birkhall, on the grounds of Balmoral, at Clarence House in London and at his Welsh home Llwynywermod in Carmarthenshire, a property recently inherited by Prince William.
