Prince Harry reunited with his wife Meghan Markle and their eight-month-old son Archie Monday night, the Associated Press reported, landing at Victoria’s International Airport before being whisked away in a waiting SUV.
Combined with the time the family spent during the holidays at a mansion in North Saanich and their public plans to relocate at least part-time to North America, the rumours that they may make a home on southern Vancouver Island are running rampant.

Wherever the royals plan to rest their heads, there are plenty of options for them to choose from in North Saanich.
The palace announced Saturday that the prince and his wife will give up public funding and try to become financially independent. The couple, who were named the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their wedding day, are expected to spend most of their time in Canada while maintaining a home in England near Windsor Castle – in an attempt to build a more peaceful life.
