"Daily Mail" is reporting that they have obtained a copy of the property deed for "Chateau at Riven Rock" and that it shows that the trust set up by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for the purchase - "Residential Real Estate Trust" - wast set up on May 15th. French magazine "Gala" has several...

Thank you Lady Daly for this information about LLCs. Some articles I’ve seen about the mortgage have named the business entities, both the new one to buy the house and a previous one that is from the Duchess’s pre-Royal life. And although the media haven’t reported the address, it is not a...

Sure Betsypaige. Two female Australian TV breakfast show personalities - “property was sold to a trust in June which happens to share an office with Meghan’s business manager ... they’ve left the Royal pay check, how can they afford this house?” Ms Arbiter then covers the re-paying of Frogmore...

Video of Victoria Arbiter on Australian television discussing the Riven Rock house. Saying there was no involvement from Prince Charles in the purchase - https://7news.com.au/entertainment/royals/prince-harry-and-meghan-markles-sprawling-new-14m-santa-barbara-home-c-1238069 And while the...

It has had a book written about it Betsypaige! "Riven Rock" published in 1998, about mental illness and the husband being locked up in the gilded cage of the estate. And the wife was a feminist - "a trailblazing women's rights activist". I'm not making this up! Based on real people and...

An article about various trips taken by the Duke and Duchess, based on information in "Finding Freedom". The couple honeymooned on a "private island north of the Seychelles", flying there by private plane. Other trips included dog-sledding in Norway, the Vista Alegre resort in Ibizia and a...

Thank you Fem, very much appreciated. So interesting about Queen Mary herself having hand-sewed the covers for the jewels, historic in itself and very personal for Her Majesty. Wonderful that everythig looks more like a showroom than a cold vault. Must have been a thrill for each...

I just saw your message Fem. No worries, don't feel any pressure - happy for whatever and whenever works for you. Don't stress if you're unable to look up and post. There has already been so much released from "Finding Freedom" that I feel I've been bathing in it up to the gills these last...

I believe this report of the Duke and Duchess taking on a mortgage. I think records of this property have been scoured by media, and that is why we have so much information about it. The address, previous owner, previous asking prices, actual sale price, sale date, photos, square footage...

Yes, I agree Tarlita, don't want to be gushing about the wrong property. This "LA Times" article has something about tax records associated with this house matching previous business entities of the Duchess, so I guess that is a bit more "proof" - if correct...

And it comes with a great name - "The Chateau of Riven Rock". Here's another article, and a few new photos. Massive price drop if the Duke and Duchess paid only $14,650,000 US. https://luxatic.com/the-chateau-of-riven-rock-is-a-true-montecito-wonder/

Have to agree JR76. That playground alone for Archie.

Well, TMZ sound pretty confident they have the acutal home identitfied - no photos yet though. Nine bedroom, sixteen bathroom, on five acres in gated community. That shoots the property I posted about up-thread out of the water - this one sold for $14million US. With such a media buzz about...

Fantastic Fem, much appreciated. Does your version have the photos .... are there any new/unique photos included, or are they what we’ve seen before? Can you share some information about The Queen’s jewel cabinet, that I believe is in the book. And I’ve seen it reported that the Cambridge’s...

Thanks to the posters who have the book who are sharing their insights. Very much appreciated.

Sounds just right for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Polo for Harry, yoga in a pink salt cave for Meghan, [...] A nice article about Santa Barbara. (Actual house not yet confirmed, though I think it must be know to media with price details being published in some outlets. And descriptions of...

The supposed property has been identified already Curryong - if correct of course. Less than seven million. Very appealing place, lovely photos on property websites, and not in the Ennisbrook gated community that friends Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres have their grander homes in. I won't...

Sorry Queen Claude, I don't have the book.

I think you're right Lilyflo. I think I saw it in amongst this stream of updates in "The Sun" - https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/1272224/meghan-markle-prince-harry-latest-news-finding-freedom/ "The Independent" had a very good stream too, three pages, updating items as they read through...

Some more snippets that stood out for me - * The Prince had a major emotional episode when attending the wedding in Jamaica after the couple were photographed embracing on their balcony. Ms Markle had never seen it this bad before. Usually she had been the only one who could calm him down, but...

Thanks for re-opening this thread so soon Jacknch. Glad there are so many posters here who have the actual book and who are sharing their insights. After the "Times/Sunday Times" excerpts I'm not shocked by what has now come out, and the perspective taken. I am however enjoying all the little...

Thanks eya. Wonderful to see the Queen out on the trail. I wonder if the Wessex family will stay on. I read this morning that the Cambridge family are going there very soon.

There doesn't seem to be any information about this CyrilVladisla, except that Prince Philip re-designed the whole area and commissioned the bronze lotus fountain in 1971. There are many nice photos of this area on the internet I've now discovered. A really nice one of the Queen and her sister...

Mr Scobie and Ms Durand have spoken on radio in the US about their book. Here is an article about it, and below that, a transcript of the chat. I don't think there is going to be much promo done in the UK, as other posters have said, the US is the intended market for the Sussexes...

So it look's like the Duchess of Sussex - or her spokespeople - have devoted an entire chapter of "Finding Freedom" to her sister. Another chapter to the "situation" involving her father. Is "Tropical Storms" about their tour of the South Pacific. I hope Australia doesn't get a beating...
