Meghan Markle Gets the Surprise of Her Life at Her Montecito Home – Find Out What Happened!

Meghan Markle recently had a heartwarming moment when she encountered some uninvited yet adorable visitors near her luxurious $14 million Montecito estate. The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share the charming sight of a mother duck and her ducklings making their way across her driveway.

In the video, set to the upbeat tune of Louis Jordan’s “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie,” Meghan can be seen dressed in a simple white shirtdress, smiling as the ducks waddled across her property. The video, which she shared with the caption, “Happy Easter filled with love and surprises,” perfectly captured the spontaneous, feel-good moment.

Since returning to Instagram in early 2025, Meghan has been sharing more glimpses into her personal life. From celebrating holidays like Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to enjoying these quiet, unexpected moments, it seems Meghan is embracing the beauty of her life outside the royal spotlight.

Her Montecito mansion, purchased in 2020 for $14.65 million, has been the couple’s sanctuary after stepping away from royal duties. The estate has also served as a refuge for friends and family during difficult times, like California’s wildfire evacuations. While Meghan and Prince Harry initially sought privacy after stepping down from their royal roles, they’ve opened their home to those in need, further cementing their role as compassionate and welcoming figures in their community.
