After delivering an emotional speech about stepping back from the Royal Family, Prince Harry has now landed in Canada to begin his new life with wife Meghan Markle and son Archie.
The Duke of Sussex, 35, was seen beaming as he stepped off a plane on Vancouver Island wearing a warm hat and padded coat.
He then reportedly made a 10-minute journey by car to the £11m mansion where his wife and son have been staying.
Meanwhile, as her husband performed a final UK engagement – at the UK-Africa Investment Summit 2020 in London’s Docklands – the Duchess of Sussex, 38, was spotted going for a walk with their eight-month-old child and two dogs.
Meghan was seen smiling while wrapped up in a hat, black athleisure-wear and walking boots to take a stroll in the picturesque Horth Hill Regional Park.
The duchess’ ensemble mainly featured Canadian brands, a pair of £88 Lululemon leggings were paired with waterproof Sienna Boots by Kamik.

Archie was strapped onto her in an Ergo baby carrier and she was accompanied by dogs beagle Guy and a black labrador Oz as well as two royal protection officers.
The couple revealed their hope earlier this month that they wished to split their time between the UK and Canada, a country where they also recently enjoyed a six-week festive break.
On Sunday evening, Harry insisted they had “no other option” but to withdraw from their senior royal roles.
In a speech, delivered at at a private reception for the charity Sentebale, the duke addressed their reasons for resigning and what the couple hoped for the future.
Harry said: “The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back, is not one I made lightly. It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges.
“And I know I haven’t always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option.
“What I want to make clear is we’re not walking away, and we certainly aren’t walking away from you.

“Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the Commonwealth, and my military associations, but without public funding.
“Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible. I’ve accepted this, knowing that it doesn’t change who I am or how committed I am.
“But I hope that helps you understand what it had to come to, that I would step my family back from all I have ever known, to take a step forward into what I hope can be a more peaceful life.”
On Saturday evening, the details of an agreement the couple had made with the Queen were released.
It was announced that they would not use their HRH titles going forward, and would repay £2.4m of taxpayers’ money spent on Frogmore Cottage, which would remain their UK home.
