Prince Harry and Meghan Markle set to return to special former home for Valentine's Day
Reports suggest Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will spend Valentine's Day in a former home that holds so many precious memories for them
Prince Harry and Meghan are reportedly set to return to their special former home for Valentine’s Day and it’s so significant to their journey as a couple.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have called several places home before settling in Santa Barbara - including Windsor when they lived at the beautiful Frogmore Cottage. Now reports have suggested Prince Harry and Meghan are set to return to another special home for Valentine’s Day.
Meghan lived in Canada whilst she was filming hit legal drama, Suits, and she and Prince Harry were there for just under four months after stepping back from royal duties. According to People, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be returning to Canada from 14th February to 16th February to attend Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler’s One Year To Go event.

Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand's New York Times best-selling biography of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex delves into the couple's life together. It reflects upon how they are unafraid to break with tradition and create a new path for themselves outside of the royal spotlight.
Whilst there Prince Harry and Meghan will supposedly join members of the participating nations’ Winter Training Camp. This gives everyone from team managers to competitors and coaches a chance to experience winter adaptive sports before the Invictus Games itself in 2025.
The celebration also marks the start of the one year countdown to the Games which will be the first winter sporting event in Invictus’ history. The Invictus Games are an international sporting event for wounded, sick or injured service personnel and the Duke of Sussex launched the first Invictus Games in London in 2014. Last year the Games were held in Düsseldorf and Prince Harry and Meghan were both there to cheer on the competitors.
It’s no surprise that the couple are supposedly set to spend their Valentine’s Day in Canada to continue showing their support at the One Year To Go event. Prince Harry and Meghan’s return to their former home for the occasion is likely incredibly meaningful for them in other ways too.
They spent Christmas in Canada with their son Prince Archie before announcing their intention to step back from their royal roles and weeks later they visited Canada House in London where they expressed thanks for the “warm Canadian hospitality and support” they received.

They then went on to spend several months in Canada before making the move to the US and for the Sussexes the Invictus Games held in Toronto in 2017 will forever be incredibly special. Prince Harry and Meghan made one of their first public appearances as a couple at the Games and he shared with People in 2022 how being with the Invictus Games community was “perfect” for this.
"There is nowhere you can feel more embraced and supported than with the Invictus family," he said. "The Toronto Games were our first time out and about publicly in an official way. We were dating at the time, so it was a lot to take in, but fortunately, we were with the perfect community for that."
He continued, “Now, five years later, here we are in The Hague at the fifth Invictus Games, as parents of two, and living in the U.S. I had always wanted to share these incredible moments with someone special, and to have Meg by my side means everything.”
Now the couple are apparently going to be in British Columbia on Valentine’s Day, attending an event that means so much to both of them. It will mark their first public appearance for several weeks and fans will no doubt be delighted to see the Sussexes in Canada again.
