Meghan Markle & Prince Harry ‘forked out $400 an hour to record podcast at luxe beachfront mansion rather than own home’

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry "forked out $400-an-hour to record a mental health podcast at a luxury beachfront mansion" instead of their own £11m home, it has been claimed.

Earlier this month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined Californian high school students on their "Teenager Therapy' podcast" to mark Mental Health Day.

To promote the episode, the hosts shared a photo of the royal couple taken during the recording - where they're sitting in front of a stone fireplace and wearing face masks.

Although royal fans initially questioned whether the couple had shared another glimpse inside their "forever home", the claims the podcast was actually recorded at a beachfront mansion a short drive down the road.

The stunning home is available to rent on Giggster and the owners of the house boast about hosting an "interview with Prince Harry and Meghan".

What's more, the home has previously been used for photoshoots for luxury brands such as Ralph Lauren, Free People and Serena and Lily.

Described as "On the sand in Montecito", the beachfront house can be rented for a minimum of three hours - costing at least £900.

In the house description, the owners said the house has "tons of style and plenty of off-street parking" and is just 100 yards from Miramar beach.

The 2,500 sq ft property can fit up to 15 cast and crew members and boasts four bedrooms as well as three bathrooms.

During the podcast recording, Meghan said she was "most trolled person in the world" last year as she spoke about importance of self-care and mental health struggles amid the coronavirus pandemic.
