Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue Canadian Connections

-

For their first public visit after their 6-week family break, part of which they spent in British Columbia, Meghan and Harry kept up their Canadian links making a return visit to Canada House in London. 

Meghan and Harry were last at Canada House in March 2019 when Meghan was still pregnant with Archie, that visit being one of the last official engagements that Meghan undertook prior to starting her maternity leave.
Part of the purpose of today's visit was to meet with and thank Canada’s consular staff as representatives of Canada. Meghan and Harry expressed their thanks for the ‘warm hospitality’ that they received during their recent stay in Canada. They certainly looked very relaxed and cheerful during today's visit.

She serves as the Indigenous Knowledge Holder at the prestigious McGill University in Quebec.

And look at Meghan's bump. Baby No.2 is growing nicely and it appears that it won't be long before Archie's sister arrives. Was Archie off to a play date? (And in case anyone wants to bitch about the fact that Meghan is not wearing head-to-toe black, in mourning for Prince Phillip, Princess Anne was out and about this week wearing a very non-black hue called Red - just getting this in first before the trolls start) Photo as published by the New York Post
