Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Rumored Move to Canada: Will They Risk Losing Their Royal Titles? – Showbiz Cheat Sheet
Could Prince Harry and Meghan Markle be planning a move to Canada after an extended break there from their royal duties? According to a new report, the Sussexes are in talks with the royal family to discuss their future, with some speculation that they could be based in Canada for a portion of the year.
Will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle be moving their office to Canada?
They’ve only just returned from their time away and already the rumor mill is in action. According to a Dec. 7 report from Dan Wootton, “The Sun has learned they will start discussing their plans with senior royals — expected to include the Queen and Prince Charles — in the coming days.”
The report notes that they’ve been in preliminary talks, telling friends that they would like to spend the next two months in Canada after they “have been sidelined by the monarchy.”
A friend shared with The Sun: “It is true that Harry and
Meghan will spend a fair amount of time in Canada over the next couple of
months and possibly going forward too. Right now they are starting talks with
their family about their plans for the future. Those conversations are at a
very early stage.”
The insider continued: “There is a very careful and serious
process to go through which they are going to respect. But it is clear they are
on a different and unique path, and they are very much thinking about what the
future looks like for them.”

This evening, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the annual #WellChildAwards in London. WellChild aims to ensure every child and young person living with serious health needs has the best chance to thrive with the support and medical care needed in the comfort of their own home. The Duke of Sussex became Patron of WellChild in 2007, and last year both The Duke and Duchess attended the awards to honour the children and families that WellChild supports. The Duke, who first came to these awards over a decade ago, shared in his remarks tonight: “Last year when my wife and I attended we knew we were expecting our first child – no one else did at the time, but we did – and I remember squeezing Meghan’s hand so tightly during the awards, both of us thinking what it would be like to be parents one day, and more so, what it would be like to do everything we could to protect and help our child should they be born with immediate challenges or become unwell over time. And now, as parents, being here and speaking to all of you pulls at my heart strings in a way I could have never understood until I had a child of my own.” • To find out more about tonight’s event and how you can support this very special organisation, please visit @WellChild Photos ©️ PA images

Will Prince Harry and Markle lose their royal titles?
If the rumors about the couple returning to Canada in 2020
are true, there is the matter of their royal titles and whether they’d be
turning their backs on their duties.
The Sussexes’ friend told The Sun that their future “could include being based in Canada or the possibility of walking away from their HRH titles, although hopefully it will not come to that.”
When looking at how challenging it was for them in 2019, their friend believes it’s certainly a possibility that they’ll want to step out of the spotlight a bit. The source shared: “It’s been a very tough year — they’re newlyweds and they have a young baby — so they’re looking at what their life looks like in the future. Everything is on the table.”
Canada is a likely option because they have friends there
and “Meghan feels comfortable and at home there because she lived there for seven
years before meeting Harry,” the insider shared.
Further, their friend notes, “They very much enjoyed their
time over Christmas and New Year where they weren’t pictured once and were left
alone.”
What’s next for Prince Harry and Markle
Though their break is now over, the couple is said to be at work “planning the launch of the Sussex Royal Foundation.”
The Sun further reports that if the couple makes this move there is concern that they may “exile themselves from the royal family,” with a friend sharing that “it has been made very clear by the institution that the Sussexes are not central to the future plan.”
Their specific plans remain to be seen, but MailOnline contacted the Palace and it dismissed the “speculation” and shared they would not comment about the rumors of a move to Canada.
