Every Single West Coast Location Featured in Netflix’s ‘Harry & Meghan’ Documentary

No matter how you feel about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, you can’t argue that they create a lot of intrigue. Their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, is prime example of that. The six-part series chronicles their story—their childhoods, how they met, courtship, wedding, work as royals, how the tabloids mistreated them, and the eventual fallout with the British Royal Family. It’s juicy stuff, with a lot of bombshell allegations. 

While the series covers a lot of ground, we were most struck by how important the West Coast is to their story—we’re Sunset editors, after all. Markle is a Los Angeles native and the couple now reside in Montecito (home to celebrities like Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres). They also spent some time on Vancouver Island before and after stepping down as senior royals. And spoiler alert ahead! The last few minutes of the docuseries shows Prince Harry driving around the picturesque California coast and the family enjoying life in their new hometown and state.

Take a look as a list of West Coast locations mentioned in the series below.
