Meghan Markle and Prince Harry spotted in rare public outing while returning to Canada
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted looking very happy and content while returning to Canada after making appearances in the United States.
The couple was spotted arriving in Canada on Friday in a very rare public outing after staying under the radar since revealing their “Megxit” plans. On Jan. 8, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they were taking “a step back” as senior members of the royal family, relinquishing their “royal highness” titles, living financially independent of the crown and dividing their time between the United Kingdom and North America.

Meghan, meanwhile, sported a striped button-down shirt, a black cardigan and black jeans. The outlet, which did not say where the photo was taken, notes that the royal couple was likely returning to Canada, where they’ve been staying in British Columbia since announcing their “Megxit” plans, after a pair of public engagements in the U.S.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were in attendance at an "exclusive" JPMorgan event held at the 1Hotel in Miami's South Beach, where Prince Harry delivered a speech, Fox News confirmed.

When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex initially announced their plans to step back from their senior royal duties, they were met with a lot of criticism. However, a source recently told Us Weekly that, now that the dust has settled, neither of them are looking back.

"Harry's much happier in Canada and feels a lot more relaxed," an insider told the magazine. "So far he doesn't regret the move."
