Meghan and Harry gave fans a sneak peek into their life at Kensington Palace before moving to Windsor, in the latest instalment of their Netflix show.
Footage of Meghan playfully dancing in the doorway of the couple’s farmhouse-style love nest was shown in episode four of the docuseries.
Prince Harry looking on, is heard saying: ‘Oh my god. It’s my favourite video. Thursday afternoon, someone’s happy.’
In the documentary Meghan also points out that their living space was far from expansive, saying: ‘Kensington Palace sounds very regal, of course it does, it says “palace” in the name. But Nottingham Cottage was so small.’

Despite being at the heart of a royal estate the cottage has a countryside feel to it, with cobbled walkways and shrubs sprouting in the borders. A lemon tree can be seen near one of the doorways as Meghan – wearing a Barbour gilet, casual leggings and walking boots – threw some shapes for her husband.
Describing their home, Meghan said: ‘People thought we lived in a palace and we did. Well, a cottage in a palace.’
Harry said: ‘The whole thing is on a slight lean, [with] really low ceilings. So I don’t know who was there before but they must have been very short.’
Meghan laughed, revealing Harry would ‘hit his head constantly because he is so tall’.

The Duchess of Sussex said: ‘It was a time in our lives that people probably couldn’t believe what was going on behind the scenes.’

Harry shared that the TV mogul also remarked on the size upon entering their home, revealing that the TV host exclaimed, ‘No one would believe it!’ when she saw the property herself.
Meghan repeated the phrase and laughed.
Alongside pictures of the royal couple doing gardening, the show featured snaps of Meghan dressed in a burgundy swing dress for date night, and the Duke of Sussex in his military dress uniform joking around with his wife.
The décor at Nottingham Cottage brought a touch of minimalist countryside chic to the Kensington-based home, with shaggy cushions, throws and cream furnishings.

The initial tranche covered the couple’s courtship and romance, but many were left deeply unhappy about the programme’s full-on assault on the late Queen’s Commonwealth legacy, with some saying it seemed as if the couple want to ‘bring down the monarchy’.
Harry also let rip with a string of sly digs at his family, particularly his father and brother, including the suggestion that they had married not for love but to a woman who fitted ‘the mould’.
