It’s not Buckingham Palace — heck, it’s not even on British royal grounds — but the California home that served as the stage for Netflix’s newly released “Harry & Meghan” docuseries still looks quite nice.
However, as reports this week made clear, the couple don’t reside in the on-screen home, which stands in star-studded Montecito — and which now asks $33.5 million for sale.
So, who owns it?
The property snoops at Dirt have identified the owner as a businessman named Mark Schulhof, who shelled out $14.6 million for the spread in 2013. Some five years earlier, the outlet adds, Quadriga Art — his direct mail company — was charged with pocketing north of $100 million in a fundraising scam that targeted disabled veterans. (In 2014, Quadriga Art reached a $25 million settlement with the New York State Attorney General.)

And Schulhof is looking to part ways with it for a princely sum. Perched on 2 acres, there’s a five-bedroom main house with 12,804 square feet — and a one-bedroom guest stay that tacks on another 800 square feet of living space.
It initially hit the market a year and a half ago — and is jointly marketed by Ryan Malmsten of Santa Barbara Brokers and Riskin Partners Group at Village Properties. Perks include both mountain and ocean views, and a grand living room with arched windows where Markle filmed her one-on-one interviews with the Pacific visible through them. There’s also a spacious dining room with a silver-leaf ceiling and, outside, several sculptures by the famed pop artist Robert Indiana — one of which is his popular “Love” design.
It all stands about 3 miles from where the couple and their two children live, which also appears in portions of the six-episode series. In it, Markle revealed that she suffered a miscarriage the morning after they moved in. They purchased that spread, an 18,000-square-foot behemoth, in 2020 for $14.65 million not long after quitting the royal family.
