Prince Harry and Meghan were greeted with cheers today as they returned from their extended break and hit the ground running with a day of public and private visits. The couple made a public trip to Canada House after telling staff that they wanted to thank Canadians for the “hospitality and support” they received while visiting Vancouver Island.
A royal source said the duke and duchess had been into their office earlier this morning after recently returning from their time away. The source confirmed that they had only been in Canada and not stopped in the U.S. during their break.
Before arriving at Canada House, Harry and Meghan made a private visit to see the Hubb Community Kitchen in west London as Meghan wanted to check in with the women there. She has formed a strong bond with them since first visiting the kitchen, which was set up in the aftermath of the devastating Grenfell Tower fire, secretly before her wedding to Prince Harry.
By the time the royal convoy pulled up in Trafalgar Square at 3 p.m. today, a crowd had gathered, which had grown significantly by the time they departed more than an hour later. Staff from the High Commission were also outside the building. The royal couple asked them where they were from and whether they had a good holiday, with Meghan describing Vancouver as “beautiful.”
Consular assistant Sumira Osmin, from Ontario, said about Harry and Meghan: “They are just beautiful, and just their aura, and they’re always so positive...They’re very caring.”
The couple viewed a special exhibition in the Canada Gallery by female Indigenous Canadian artist Skawennatti, which the Canadian High Commissioner to the U.K., Janice Charette, told T&C was “an exhibit which spans both the history and tradition as well as the future which is a very unique approach and very creative.”
The High Commissioner described the royal couple’s visit as a “chance to catch up, hear a bit about their visit to Canada and their holidays in Canada, and their impressions.”
She added that she discussed with them “what they see in terms of their priorities for the next year,” pointing out: “There’s a lot of areas where they have interests which are also priorities for Canada.” Citing topics such as gender equality and gender empowerment, homelessness, mental health and youth engagement, Charette said she thought there “will be some opportunities for us to think about Canada House and the Sussexes doing some interesting work together.”
She also spoke about the couple’s down time over their break. “The fact that they were able to go to Canada to enjoy the holiday season with friends and family and basically to have privacy and be undisturbed and to be able to enjoy peace and tranquility and the beautiful country, I couldn’t be happier,” she said.
The Sussexes are expected to make further announcements about upcoming engagements shortly. A big focus for them this year is the launch of their foundation Sussex Royal.
