Where Was 'With Love, Meghan' Filmed? Inside the Montecito Location of Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show
Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle series With Love, Meghan has officially landed on Netflix, and it’s already making waves.
It’s currently a top 10 show across 40 countries, with fans flooding social media with comments and discussions about everything from her Martha Stewart-esque baking segments to her laid-back lifestyle.
But amid all the buzz, one question keeps popping up: Where was With Love, Meghan filmed?
The Montecito Dream
Let’s start by unpacking Montecito, a name that likely became more familiar to many after Harry and Meghan made it their home. Before their arrival, Montecito was already known as an exclusive, upscale neighborhood along California’s stunning coastline.
It's a place synonymous with privacy, natural beauty, and luxurious living. Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow have made Montecito their home, creating a community of high-profile residents who value discretion.
For Meghan and Harry, the decision to settle in Montecito was easy.
The area offers the perfect mix of seclusion and serenity, far removed from the constant media scrutiny that often comes with their royal status. It’s easy to see why they chose it as their refuge.
Not Meghan’s Actual Home, But Still Perfect
While viewers are getting a peek into the Duke and Duchess’s life, the filming location of With Love, Meghan is not actually their home.
Instead, Markle chose to film at a nearby rental property owned by local philanthropists. The house, though not their personal residence, perfectly captures the relaxed yet sophisticated vibe Meghan wanted for her show.

With its expansive gardens, mature trees, and rustic barn, it screams Montecito style—elegant yet unpretentious.
Markle’s decision to film at this property, rather than her own home, was driven by her deep commitment to keeping her family’s life private.
Filming a show often involves a large crew, equipment, and lots of hustle and bustle—things that could disrupt the peaceful, private life she has worked hard to build in Montecito.
As she’s openly stated, the tranquility of her family’s "safe haven" is something she deeply values.
The Perfect Balance of Intimacy and Privacy
By filming at a rental property, Markle managed to share her world with viewers while still maintaining control over her family’s privacy.
The choice of location also allowed her to maintain the quiet lifestyle she and Harry have prioritized for their children, Archie and Lilibet. In this way, With Love, Meghan offers a peek into her life, all while respecting the boundaries she’s carefully set around her family’s privacy.

The luxury farmhouse where the series was filmed captures the spirit of Montecito perfectly—exuding a low-key sophistication that matches Markle’s personal style.
From the avocado and lemon trees to the sprawling grounds, the aesthetic of the property is nothing short of dreamy. As many have described it, the show’s ambiance feels like a "warm hug," offering viewers a comforting escape.
With Love, Meghan is now streaming exclusively on Netflix, offering a glimpse into Meghan Markle’s world while keeping the private details of her family life, well, private.
