Duke and Duchess of Sussex in Canada for the holidays

I'm glad for them. It's gotten very toxic in the UK for them, the comments on social media are absolutely awful. I'd hate to see what happened to Princess Diana happen to Meghan, she does not deserve it.

Merry Christmas from Sussexes!
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan opted for an environmentally friendly e-card this year, sharing a new family portrait with friends, family, colleagues and charities (including all their patronages).

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan spotted in British Columbia

Royal watchers have been wondering where Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan and Archie have been spending their “private family time” in Canada, and now we know! Two people have reported seeing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in different parts of British Columbia.

The couple were spotted at the Deep Cove Chalet, a restaurant in North Saanich on Vancouver Island, according to the Vancouver Sun. Bev Koffell, one of the owners, said she and her husband Pierre had seen Harry and Meghan there and had a meeting with the duke and duchess’ security guards. She also told the publication the pair have gone hiking several times in Horth Hill Regional Park, also on Vancouver Island.

“Horth Hill’s become a very popular place now,” Bev said. “And they jog around, so they’ve been seen. It’s kind of exciting. I hope everything goes fine for them. They’re breaking away from tradition and I just wish them all the best.”

It makes lots of sense that the couple would be in British Columbia, as it is a relatively short flight for Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother, who has joined the couple in Canada for the holidays after travelling here from Los Angeles.

Deep Cove Chalet is located near Victoria's airport in Deep Cove, B.C. It is tucked away on the shorline of Saanich Inlet and has some breathtaking views..........

Cute card! B.C. is a beautiful province for them to visit. I hope they’re enjoying their time there.

@albean99 I thought they might be in Toronto since she lived there for a number of years but later thought it was out West since the article mentions the beautiful Canadian landscape.

I'm glad it appears everyone is respecting their privacy.

These are the presents royal baby Archie reportedly received for his first Christmas

rchie reportedly spent his first Christmas with dad Prince Harry and mom Duchess Meghan in Canada! It seems like the seven-month-old had some fantastic presents waiting for him under the tree!

The adorable nearly eight-month-old boy reportedly received books, building blocks and a baby ball pit for the holidays, according to Us Weekly.

“Archie is Meghan and Harry's world, and they can't help [it],” a source told the publication. "It's not all about extravagant gifts for them.”

Wow! I expected a change of some sort, but not this. There has been so much chatter in the last 6 months or so that they would move to Canada so I thought something was up for sure. Good for them!

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” - The Duke and Duchess of Sussex

^^ Fantastic, and good for them is right!! British royalty has undergone many changes, some good some not so good. I for one am happy for their decision. Shows that they can think for themselves, not bound to the old ways. high five

Have no idea what goes on behind the scene but if they didn't let the Queen in on their decision before announcing it, it looks bad and is disrespectful. Imagine if you didn't tell your parents you were getting married or were coming out and they found out by reading the newspaper? Bad form... unless there is a total breakdown in communication between people.

To be honest, I don't see much change. They should take a look at the other European royalty. They are far more modern than the Brits! It's time for Elisabeth to step down, skip Charles and make William king.

During the Queen's speech from Sandringham apparently there were pictures of all of the Queen's family except Harry & Meghan. There's also been talk of scaling back the Royal Rota after the Prince Andrew debacle. Seems to me this has been boiling for a long time. Harry doesn't want to happen to Meghan what happened to his mother, and I for one agree. Bravo to both of them.

I’m the opposite of a fan of Harry and Meghan so I hope they get stripped of their titles, all funding (including from the Duchy of Cornwall), their residence in the UK and protection officers. They went to be private and make a private income then go for it on your own. They already have crapped all over his family and have been incredibly selfish so leave them to their own destructive devices.
