As you’re likely aware, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and baby Archie Harrison visited Canada during the holidays instead of spending time with the royal family in the U.K.
On Tuesday, the happy couple stepped out for their first public appearance of the New Year and paid a visit to Canada House — home to Janice Charette, the High Commission of Canada to the U.K. — to show their appreciation for their time in the country.

While thanking the staff inside, the Suits alum revealed her son was in awe of the country’s national beauty. In addition, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s office said their visit was to give thanks for “the warm Canadian hospitality and support they received during their recent stay.”
The royals also chatted with well-wishers outside. Per People, Jamie Weare from Ontario shared:
“Meghan said it was beautiful. They seemed really relaxed and happy. Harry said it was raining a lot of the time in Vancouver.”
Her colleague, Sumira Osmin, added:
“They are just beautiful and just their aura… they are always so positive and very friendly.”
A new video was put together (below) for the pair’s Instagram page, showing more of what they did during their Tuesday morning visit. In part, they wrote:
“The Duke and Duchess have a strong connection to Canada. It’s a country The Duke of Sussex has visited many times over the years and it was also home to The Duchess for seven years before she became a member of The Royal Family.”
What a great way to kick off the New Year!!
The initial announcement that the Sussex crew would not celebrate Christmas with the royal fam at the Sandringham Estate (it’s been an annual tradition since the 80s) in Norfolk, drew some criticism (Meg just can’t win). The statement read:
“Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are spending private family time in Canada. The decision to base themselves in Canada reflects the importance of this Commonwealth country to them both. For security reasons we will not be releasing any further details and request that their privacy is requested.”
It’s been rumored that the family of three could relocate to, or at least get a residence in, California, but maybe Canada has a shot too, eh? What do U think, Perezcious royal experts?? Sound OFF (below) in the comments with your thoughts!
