Where was With Love, Meghan filmed? Meghan Markle's Netflix show location revealed

The aesthetic is super dreamy.

Meghan Markle’s dreamy new lifestyle series has finally landed on Netflix, and everyone is talking about it. It’s in the streaming service’s top 10 shows across 40 countries, and there have been thousands of comments about it on social media.

Naturally, after enjoying the Martha Stewart vibes and being inspired to get baking, viewers are now asking: "Where was With Love, Meghan filmed?" If you’ve been wondering the same thing, we have everything you need to know.

Did Prince Harry buy a house in Montecito?

Let's unpack Montecito a bit, because I don’t know about you, but I’d never heard of it before Harry and Meghan came on the scene. This exclusive neighbourhood, nestled along the coastline of California, is known for its breath-taking natural beauty, discreet luxury, and its appeal to high-profile residents. Think Oprah Winfrey being neighbours with Gwyneth Paltrow and Ariana Grande - they all have homes in Montecito.

Montecito is a place where privacy is paramount, which is why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to buy a house there. The area has become a haven for celebrities and high-profile individuals seeking a tranquil and secluded lifestyle - away from the prying eyes of the British tabloids. I don't blame them, tbh.

Is With Love, Meghan filmed at her actual home?

With privacy in mind, With Love, Meghan isn’t filmed at the duke and duchess’s actual home. The stand-in is a nearby rental property owned by local philanthropists, but it still sets the perfect tone: elegant and relaxed. Meghan choosing it, even as a stand-in, was a deliberate aesthetic choice.

The luxury farmhouse may not be where Meghan and her family actually live, but it reflects Meghan’s style. Think: huge gardens, mature trees, and refined architecture. It captures that Montecito feel - low-key but sophisticated. Plus, the property has lemon and avocado trees and a rustic barn, which is perfect inspiration for any Pinterest board.

With Love, Meghan filming location

So, why didn’t Meghan film her show at her actual home? It comes down to one word: privacy. Meghan has been vocal about protecting her family's "safe haven." Filming a series involves a large crew, equipment, and a level of disruption that would compromise the tranquillity she cherishes. By using a rental property, Meghan has been able to maintain control over the narrative while ensuring her children, Archie and Lilibet, could continue their daily lives undisturbed.

So, while With Love, Meghan offers an intimate look into her world, it does so with a thoughtful balance between sharing and safeguarding. The choice of a Montecito rental property allows viewers to experience the beauty and dreamy aesthetic (which many have described as being like “a warm hug”) while respecting her desire to keep her family's private life, well, private.
