Meghan Markle had an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair and gave us a look into her family life in their Californian mansion. Markle, her husband, Prince Harry, and their two kids, Lilibet and Archie, live in their 16 million scenic mansion, which we will highlight later in the article.

However, we got to feel how life is for the Sussex family daily. The actress said that she and Harry share an office and have adopted the work-from-home lifestyle.

The royal couple reportedly loves working from home because it gives them the opportunity to spend more time with their kids. Markle said, "It allows us to have significant time with our kids at this really special moment in their lives. We'll never get this time back."

But before getting into the business side of things, the couple will prepare their children for the day, and Markle will proceed to make breakfast.

Once everyone is fed, Markle shared that she and Harry will hop on joint Zoom calls while trying to divide their attention to the kids.

However, she also stated that Harry has a 24-hour schedule, meaning that some days the prince will start his working day when half of the world is sleeping.

The actress said she had the exact reverse schedule while living in England but admitted it was not the best situation for her, although her husband has adjusted well. Working from home also comes with the leisure of driving out for quick snacks, coffee runs, or frequent trips to the kitchen.

But when Markle was asked who takes more snack breaks between her and Harry, she revealed that their home is two hours from Los Angeles, so the snack runs only come when they have back-to-back meetings in the city.

In that case, the "Suits" alum said their day would consist of eating large cookies, and once in a while, they will have Harry's favorite spot, In-N-Out Burger. Markle revealed that the staff loves it every time they visit and already know their order.

Variety also asked what Harry and Markle are watching, but the actress said after putting the kids to bed and after she has done her ten minutes of learning French on Duolingo, is the only time there is a possibility for the television to be switched on.

Markle said she took up learning French because she studied it for four years in High school, and now the Duchess of Sussex is trying to refresh her memory.

The "Archetypes" podcast host revealed that she and Harry often struggle to find something to watch. "I think we're just like most people where you do endless, endless, endless searching until you get so tired of searching you don't watch anything," said Markle.

Markle did not forget to mention that she was a "mean scrabble" player and "very good at Jeopardy" she also loves to cook, and when she and Harry decide on what to watch, Markle loves a good romantic comedy; her favorite one is "When Harry met Sally."

Harry & Meghan's Children Are Growing up Fast

Markle's candid interview with Variety also included details about her growing children. Her daughter Lilibet is one, so there is not much she enjoys on television.

But Archie, on the other hand, is three and has developed an interest in cartoons. His mother revealed that Archie loved the British children's show "Octonauts."

Another old-school show that is a favorite for Archie is "Magical School Bus," which the mother of two was surprised to discover. However, Markle said she had enjoyed going back in time through Archie.

The Duchess of Sussex also commended the educational program "Story Bots." She said it was an excellent platform for kids to learn.

She loved it so much that she admitted that she caught herself singing the theme song of "Story Bots" instead of the many popular songs from Beyonce's latest album. The royal children are growing up fast, and Markle and Harry enjoy witnessing these moments of their character development.

Inside the Couple's Fairy-Tale Home

Prince Harry and Markle's home in Montecito is not a palace, but it is also not the most miniature house one will come across. For instance, it has nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, not forgetting the home theatre and a home gym.

One article described the mansion as "the kind of big that startles you into remembering that unimaginable wealth is actually someone's daily reality."

Markle and Harry reportedly bought the house with their own money. This was also the first home both of them had ever owned. Markle said, "We did everything we could to get this house, because you walk in and go … Joy. And exhale. And calm. It's healing. You feel free."

The couple renovated the house to their liking, and The New York Post revealed how their shared office looks. It has one large table facing the fireplace, with two plush chairs on either side that look like thrones.

The outside of the home is also beautifully filled with greenery, a pool and a pool house, a chicken coop, and a private playground for Archie and Lilibet.
