“This looks so fake,” a third person said, while a fourth criticised: “It’s SO contrived.”
Still, not everyone was sceptical. Many supporters rushed to defend the couple, praising how content they appeared.
“He looks so comfortable in his own skin now,” one Reddit user observed.
“He definitely has a glow,” another agreed.
“I’m obsessed with how chill their lives look now. He’s just wearing casual clothes, barefoot in his office, chilling with his beagle? Nobody can tell me life in the palace is better than what they have,” a third fan shared.
A Glimpse Into Their Montecito Life
Also featured in the clip is the Sussexes’ rescue beagle, Mamma Mia, curled up beneath Harry’s desk near his feet.
The couple are also owners of a black Labrador named Pula. They previously had another beagle, Guy, whom Meghan adopted in Canada in 2015. Sadly, Guy passed away in January 2025.
The video arrives shortly after Meghan unveiled As Ever’s Valentine’s Day collection, created in partnership with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartes.
The limited edition range introduces four new chocolate varieties blended with Meghan’s existing products.
