She's rumoured to have practically moved in with Prince Harry at his cottage at Kensington Palace.

And Meghan Markle, 35, has already given a glimpse of how she might redecorate the Prince's bachelor pad if she makes it her permanent residence. 

The Suits actress has given fans a tour of the interior of her Toronto home via Instagram, where frequent snaps of her dogs Bogart and Guy reveal her love of elegant yet cosy decor, fashion coffee table books and fresh flowers.

Despite having two dogs with muddy paws, the actress has bravely opted for a white couch in her living space with a grey striped throw from the luxury textiles brand Pamuk and Co. 

The brand specialises in traditional Turkish 'towels' made from high quality cotton, that can also be used as shawls, yoga mats, throws and baby mats and sell for a very reasonably 50 Canadian dollars or around £30. 

Her dining table is white marble and she's placed a full length shabby chic vintage mirror resting on the wall behind it to create the illusion of extra space. 

While the star favours mid-century modern furniture and a white colour palette, she adds vibrant pops of colour with accessories such as a red striped rug in the hallway.

She's also a fan of fresh flowers, especially pink peonies which she's declared are her favourite. 

But rather than being a gift from Harry, she reveals that she regularly treats herself to her favourite bouquets. 

She's also a fan of a scented candle, including Diptyque's Figuier with fresh wood, green notes and crushed fig leaves and the Le Labo Santal 26 Classic Candle, £51, with 'gentle, smokey and leathery tones'.

Like any self-respecting fashionista, Meghan has an extensive collection of shoes and recently rearranged her closet to perfection while having a sick day at home. 

Her garden isn't neglected either, and Meghan grows her own hydrangeas which she snips and puts in jam jars to decorate the house. 

She's also kitted out the space with a seating area with wooden decking, a large BBQ and a black metal love seat with monochrome striped cushions.
