Duchess Meghan, radiating joy, was spotted behind the wheel, seemingly picking up a friend at an airport on Canada’s west coast. This candid moment offered a glimpse into the relaxed and casual lifestyle the Duchess of Sussex might be seeking, a stark contrast to the relentless scrutiny of the British press that Prince Harry has expressed a desire to escape.
As the world awaits an official announcement from the palace, five days have passed since the Sandringham summit where the couple declared their intention to spend more time in Canada. Their decision has received the Queen’s blessing, paving the way for a new chapter in their lives.

Their time on Vancouver Island has been marked by enjoying the great outdoors with baby Archie and engaging with local communities. Meghan, known for her dedication to philanthropy, visited two women’s charities, including Justice for Girls.
“Do you seem really engaged and she connected the issues we discussed to her previous work and I think that she was genuinely interested in the work that we do and how to best support that,” a representative from one of the charities shared. “This clean water source has changed the entire community.”
Meghan’s commitment to social causes predates her royal life. Her volunteer work at the San Felix Center, a community center in Toronto that supports the homeless, is a testament to her genuine desire to make a difference. “She really took to us and started coming and volunteering in this kitchen preparing meals,” shared a volunteer.
When asked about Meghan’s motivation, the volunteer responded, “I think she just genuinely wants to help others.” Last month, the Duke and Duchess used their official Instagram page to shine a spotlight on the center, amplifying their support.

Toronto, the city where their love story unfolded, holds a special place in their hearts. “Early on I have adopted Toronto as my home and I’m just really happy it’s seemed to embrace me just the same we yes we I work here too,” Meghan once remarked. During their courtship, Prince Harry was a frequent visitor on the set of Suits, where Meghan was filming.
The city holds memories of their budding romance, with tales of discreet dinner dates and even a Halloween spent incognito behind masks. “There’s a great story that they spent Halloween in Toronto and he it was a perfect time because he could wear a mask,” a source revealed. “But I’ve had one dinner with her in a group of friends and at night she was soft-spoken of course she’s engaging and she’s interested.”
After a week of intense media attention, the couple’s desire to step back from the royal spotlight and embrace a quieter life in Canada resonates deeply. As they embark on this new journey, one can’t help but feel a sense of hope and anticipation for the future of Meghan and Harry, free to redefine their roles and create their own path.
