Harry and Meghan Disappoint Canadians With Departure

Craig McCulloch

   VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the
   former royal highnesses best known to the public as Harry and Meghan,
   appear to have left their wooded paradise on Vancouver Island in
   western Canada for the bright lights of Los Angeles.

   The luxury Canadian estate where Harry and Meghan lived is perfect for
   one of the world's highest profile married couples. Located in a wooded
   suburb of Victoria, British Columbia, called North Saanich, the
   property itself is stunning and picturesque, surrounded by lush forest
   and the Pacific Ocean. It is also in a neighborhood that gave them
   space and discouraged nosy paparazzi.

   News that the couple was in the area first broke when they announced
   plans to mark this past Christmas and New Year's in Canada, rather than
   with the rest of the royal family in Britain. Those Christmas holidays
   stretched into the spring, when the couple announced they would be
   stepping down from royal duties.

   It should be noted that Queen Elizabeth, Harry's grandmother, is
   officially head of state for Canada, a member of the Commonwealth. It
   is one of the 16 countries where she is nominally in charge.
