Palace dismisses ‘speculation’ that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are planning Canada move - Yahoo News

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may return to Canada this year and may even move there on a more long-term basis, reports have claimed.

The Sussex family, together with eight-month-old baby Archie, spent a substantial part of their six-week long break in Canada.

The suggestion that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 35 and 38 respectively, might make a longer-term move there emerged yesterday evening, in an exclusive report from The Sun.

“It is true that Harry and Meghan will spend a fair amount of time in Canada over the next couple of months and possibly going forward too,” a source told the publication.

“That could include being based in Canada or the possibility of walking away from their HRH titles, although hopefully it will not come to that.”

“Everything is on the table,” added the source.

However, in a comment to the MailOnline, Buckingham Palace dismissed reports as merely “speculation”.

The royal couple visited Canada House, London, yesterday to meet with the High Commission team and “thank them for the warm Canadian hospitality and support they received during their recent stay".

The pair gushed about the visit during a meeting with staff.

“The warmth and hospitality we were shown while [in Canada] was unbelievable, and that's exactly why we chose to go out there,” said Prince Harry.

Duchess Meghan called it “an incredible time”.

She added: "Just to be able to take in the warmth that we experienced from the people, but also just to walk around and just see the beauty of Canada. To see Archie go 'ahhh' when you walk by, and just see how stunning it is [...] it meant a lot to us.”

But could a move be on the cards for the family of three? Tom Bradby, who made a documentary about the Sussexes’ tour of southern Africa last year, addressed the matter earlier today on ‘Good Morning Britain’.

Asked whether the couple who be moving to Canada and dropping their royal titles, he responded, “I don’t know the answer to that” – but acknowledged it could be a “possibility”.

He added: “It’s no big secret in their friends that they have been considering their options in the future. [...] I think there’s a lot of talking to be done, there are a million possibilities, they could go to Canada…”

Buckingham Palace has not responded to Yahoo UK’s request for comment.

The couple, together with eight-month-old son Archie, are believed to have spent a substantial part of their six-week break from royal duties in Canada, including on Vancouver Island where they were spotted by hikers.

This is not the first time there has been speculation the family will move to Canada. Back in October last year, US Weekly claimed a move could be on the cards, particularly because the country is still part of the Commonwealth.
