Eagle eyed fans may have been able to spot the print hung above the mantelpiece in Meghan’s Santa Barbara home

The bear print is a tribute to the state’s national anthem

Meghan spoke to the three women from her $14 million home in Santa Barbara that she shares with Prince Harry and their one-year-old son Archie.

And eagle-eyed fans may have spotted a rather telling piece of artwork in the background.

Hung above the mantelpiece was a print of a bear holding the state of California in its paws, printed with the words “I love you California.”

The words refer to the state’s official anthem which was published in 1913, and later adopted by California 1951 and confirmed in 1987 as the sunshine state’s official song.

In the corner was a large pot plant, while the window looked out onto the sprawling 7.38 property the couple reportedly bought for £11 million in July.
