The west coast looks good on Harry & Meghan & Archie.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their son Archie are spending Christmas through New Year’s at a private waterfront estate in North Saanich’s Deep Cove near the Victoria International Airport.

Over five years ago, Meghan Markle filmed a Hallmark movie When Sparks Fly in North Vancouver’s Deep Cove while on a break from USA Network’s Toronto-filmed legal drama Suits.

A lot has happened since. She met and married Prince Harry and has now returned to the west coast with her family for a quiet break from royal duties.

On Sunday afternoon, this normally quiet road in north Saanich filled up with people out walking, cycling and chatting in groups, perhaps hoping to catch a glimpse of the Royals coming and going.

The owners of the Deep Cove Chalet told the Victoria Times-Colonist that they’d seen Harry & Meghan. whose security had come to look over the nearby restaurant.

Others spotted Prince Harry hiking on Horth Hill. That may explain why the parking lot was so full on Sunday, but it often is. 

On New Year’s Day, Iliya Pavlovic and Asymina Kantorowicz (a CTV News producer) met Harry & Meagan hiking on Horth Hill when Meaghan offered to take their photo.

Kantorowicz told CTV News she recognized Abigail Spencer (one of Meghan’s co-stars from Suits) in the group.

Enjoy your stay Harry & Meghan & Archie.
