Prince Harry and Meghan Markle previously concealed a major secret for weeks – one that even their staff “didn’t know about it,” according to reports.
The duo left the UK to mark Thanksgiving in November 2019.
Posting on Instagram during that period, the pair recognized the holiday with a message that seemed to feature a Canadian emoji – despite November Thanksgiving being distinctly American.
The couple and Buckingham Palace remained silent about where the family of three was spending their planned six-week getaway – though it was understood they would be visiting Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland.
It was also confirmed that the pair wouldn’t be joining the royals for Christmas festivities in the UK.
Author Valentine Low previously revealed in his book, Courtiers, “When Harry and Meghan went to Canada for their six-week break in November 2019, their escape was planned with the greatest secrecy.”
He continued, “When the trip was announced – it was supposed to be “family time” according to the Palace, and definitely should not be seen as a holiday – Meghan was so concerned that news of their destination would leak that the couple would not even tell their nanny, Lorren, where they were going.
“According to one source, [Lorren] did not know where they were going until the plane – a private jet, not Air Canada, as claimed by Finding Freedom – was in the air. Meanwhile, staff had been growing increasingly suspicious about the couple’s long-term intentions.”

Elaborating on the situation, he continued, “It had already occurred to them that the Sussexes might go and live in America. The fact that they had taken all their personal belongings with them to Canada, and their two dogs, seemed quite a big hint.
“However, nothing was confirmed until Meghan confided towards the end of the year in a member of her personal staff that they were not coming back.”
He then revealed that certain staff members remained unaware of the duo’s intentions until January 2020.
Mr Low documented, “The rest of the team did not find out until the couple held a meeting at Buckingham Palace at the beginning of January.
“They found it hard to accept they were being dumped like that. Some were in tears.”
The pair now reside in California alongside their son Archie, aged six, and their daughter Lilibet, who was born in the US in 2021.
