The Netflix docuseries provided a never-before-seen glimpse into the cottage and the royal couple's life there. Canada makes great sense for Meghan personally, as she lived in Toronto for six years while working on the TV series “Suits” and she has close friends in the same city. The estate features eight bedrooms, a wine room, double-height living room, and game room with wet bar. For late-night snacks, the home comes equipped with a pizza oven, and the royals can snuggle up on cool Canadian nights by the 17th-century fireplace imported from France. In addition, Meghan’s mother Doria also occasionally stays with the family in the house’s guest cottage, according to the Mirror — no doubt, helping out with her new grandson.
In the "Harry & Meghan" Netflix docuseries, Meghan described the cottage as "so small." In addition to beefing up security measures at home, the couple reportedly has "a team of up to 15 highly-trained close protection experts — including some Canadian 'Mounties' keeping watch over them 24/7," per The Sun. Mounties is a casual term for Canada's federal police force, in case you didn't know. At the time he was dating Cressida Bonas, an aristocratic actor many royal commentators thought would become his wife.

With an asking price of $29,500,000, it may be more than double the price of the ex-royals’ current residence, so you can’t help but wonder if this is within their price range. It’s the largest and most private estate in Montecito’s posh Birnam Wood, which is a guard-gated community with 24/7 security patrol. Nelsen suggests they take a look at a fully renovated seven-bedroom, 14-bath, 12,168-square-foot home with the latest in technology and security on a bit more manageable 2-acre lot. It’s a very discreet pocket listing at the moment, meaning the general public wouldn’t realize it’s on the market. After all, it is a bit off the beaten path from the famous celebrity enclaves of Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel-Air, and Malibu.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Piers Morgan said the couple wants to "keep all the trappings of royal life without any of the hard, boring bits, and the right to cash in on their status however they choose". The couple have come under fire in the UK after the BBC revealed the palace was not informed of their decision to step down from most of their royal duties, and to seek to become financially independent. One of her closest friends, Jessica Mulroney, lives in Toronto with her husband, Ben Mulroney, the son of a former prime minister. Their three young children were even a part of Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding party. The pair were spotted hiking in the woods outside of Victoria over the holidays, according to Canadian media.
B.C. volunteer's handmade 'merry mailbox' inspires 3-year-old to send first letter to Santa
RCMP are looking for tips from the public after a home east of Red Deer was shot at early Sunday morning. Sherwood Park volunteers organized a fundraiser photo session with Santa on Sunday that welcomed pet owners to bring their furry friends. Families with immunocompromised or seriously ill children got to have a private shopping spree before Toys 'R' Us opened Sunday morning. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday proposed holding a global peace summit this winter, in a video message Kyiv was hoping would be broadcast ahead of the soccer World Cup final in Qatar, although it appeared unlikely FIFA would allow the move. Eleven metres below the surface of the Northwest Passage, deep within the wreck of one of Capt. John Franklin's doomed ships, something caught the eye of diver Ryan Harris.
In fact, Meghan tried to distance the couple from the final product in an interview with Variety back in October, when Queen Elizabeth II’s death threatened to cast a pall on the revelations about the royal family included in Harry and Meghan’s upcoming projects. The couple chose not to spend the holidays with the royal family this year, instead travelling abroad to celebrate Archie's first Christmas out of the spotlight. Just 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, it’s not as accessible to paparazzi and other celeb watchers intent on infringing on their privacy. Their friends Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres also live in grand Montecito estates nearby for that very reason. On Thursday, Netflix released Volume II of"Harry & Meghan," a docuseries about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's romance as well as their experience with the royal family.
Brittney Griner can now sleep soundly in her 3,000-square-foot house
Last season, the Timberwolves played a few games without several key contributors when COVID-19 ran through several key contributors around Christmas. In that time with reserves filling more significant roles, the Wolves found an identity on the offensive end that carried to the rest of the team moving forward. These Wolves hope Sunday can be more like that and not just a one-time event, when ... In episode five, Harry, 38, said he called his father, Charles, and told him they had come up with a plan to move to Canada in December 2021.
Now it's reportedly full to the brim with security guards tasked with keeping prying eyes or overeager fans out. Locals have reported that security around the mansion was tightened as early as December 19, with new fences and cameras erected around the lavish home. "I'm glad they're staying there, because it's an $18m property, that's what it was on sale for a few years ago, and it's such a waste of the property for no one to be there," one told the Daily Mail.
A Victorian Christmas
The final three episodes of the Harry and Meghan Netflix documentary have been released. The Duchess of Sussex is a California girl who grew up in LA; her mother, Doria Ragland, still lives there. Being close to Ragland could prove to be a comfort as Harry and Meghan make such a significant change. Eight-month-old Archie clearly feels comfortable in Canada, and when Harry and Meghan flew back to England to make their announcement, he stayed behind, reportedly in the care of a nanny and Meghan's close friend Jessica Mulroney.
Canada is part of the Commonwealth and Prince Harry's grandmother the Queen is the head of state so although he will see her face on the currency, he's not a citizen. "One of the chief pitfalls of the job of governor general is that it takes smart, ambitious Canadians and essentially imprisons them in a palace with strict instructions to do what they're told," he wrote. During their courtship, Prince Harry visited her in her Seaton Village home, and she joined him at the 2017 Invictus Games, which were held in the city. Meghan has had close ties to Canada for many years, although she is an American citizen by birth and her mother lives in California. Since then, international media has flocked to the city amid speculation that the couple may decide to settle there semi-permanently. She and the prince had been in the UK to make their announcement, following a six-week Christmas holiday in greater Victoria, on Vancouver Island.
It was then, Markle says, that she finally took Perry up on his offer to help them. In 2020, their card featured an illustration of a photo taken by Meghan's mom, Doria Ragland, of Archie and their two dogs, Pula and Guy. The year before that, Meghan and Harry shared their first Christmas card as a family of three. At the time, they were spending the holiday season on Canada's Vancouver Island. With Covid looming, Meghan and Harry knew they couldn’t stay in their Canada home, and that’s when Perry invited them to live in his Beverly Hills home indefinitely.
That includes what appears to be a self-shot image of Meghan early in the first episode in a home on Vancouver Island while Prince Harry is in London. Anyone who watched the Oprah Winfrey interview last year won't find any bombshell revelations about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, says Toronto-based royal expert Patricia Treble. Part of the tell-all interview included a clip recorded on Harry and Meghan’s five-acre estate.
It has eight bedrooms and ten bathrooms split between the main house and guest house. 'The curtains have been allowed to puddle on the floor, possibly as a means to minimise the risk of daylight creeping in. We see no evidence of toddler clutter, aside from the large white cot, the only other item in the room is a small low traditional looking, freestanding cupboard. 'We know they love dogs so we shouldn’t be surprised to see a couple of happily sleeping mutts on the cream sofa, one particularly basking in the sunshine. The Duchess of Sussex, 41, has previously shared how the interiors of their Southern California home make her 'feel free' and is 'calm and healing'. The show includes glimpses of their current Californian idyll - a $14million Montecito mansion and Frogmore Cottage, the Grade-II listed five-bedroom property that became their first marital home.
