Now that Meghan and Harry have gotten the Royal Family’s stamp of approval to move to Canada part time, all they have to do is find a place to live.

Where would a wealthy young millennial couple with a young child want to live in Canada? The Star asked a few luxury realtors for suggestions.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have plenty of choices if they decide to live part-time in British Columbia, said Andrea Jauck, a luxury realtor with Vancouver-based Pinnacle Group Real Estate Marketing. She noted that the province offers private locations with spectacular views that are still relatively close to Vancouver.

The couple reportedly spent the holidays at a secluded beachfront villa in North Saanich, a community located about a half-hour drive north of Victoria on Vancouver Island.

“They could have gone anywhere ... but they chose B.C.,” said Kris Cyganiak, co-founder of the Pinnacle List, a website that curates luxury property listings from around the world. According to Cyganiak, there’s a good chance the couple will choose B.C. again.

Have your say:

But Barry Cohen, a luxury realtor in Toronto, says the couple is more likely to move to Canada’s largest city.

Meghan lived in Toronto for at least seven years while filming her TV show “Suits,” and the city is also much closer to the United Kingdom than Vancouver. Harry and Meghan reportedly plan to spend their time in the U.K. at Frogmore Cottage, in Windsor.

Listing price: $6.5 million

Sometimes, you want something a little outside the city, new with a contemporary feel to it. This newly constructed 8,277 sq. ft. lot is only a one-hour drive from downtown Vancouver — so the duchess can commute to any potential acting jobs in Hollywood North — and is located in Anmore, a quiet community of 2,200 people.

The home features built-in Tesla charging stations, 46 solar panels and a view of the North Shore mountains. It has a “chateau” and “Whistler-inspired” look, that could give the royal couple the West-coast feel they seem to enjoy.

This listing also features a lower price point, thanks to its location outside of Vancouver’s city centre, something Harry and Meghan may consider if they are striving for “financial independence,” as they suggested in their public statement announcing they planned to step back from their royal duties.

The duke and duchess appear to enjoy waterfront properties — they reportedly stayed at a beachfront villa on Vancouver Island over the holidays — so they may enjoy a home with a private dock, like this North Vancouver property, which also features panoramic ocean views and a private elevator.

North Vancouver is a short 15-minutue Seabus trip to downtown Vancouver. Prince Harry and Meghan, along with their young son Archie, may appreciate the municipality known for its family-friendly neighbourhoods and proximity to hiking trails, said Jauck.

The couple was spotted hiking on Vancouver Island on New Year’s Day, and even stopped to help fellow hikers take a photo.

“Being that they are a young couple, and with a growing family, they are looking for community, and given their wealth and potential need for privacy, they would consider Forest Hill,” said Cohen, of the north Toronto neighbourhood.

“They are familiar with Forest Hill, they have friends that live at Forest Hill,” he said, adding there are excellent private-school options in the area. Plus, Meghan’s close friend, Jessica Mulroney, lives in a nearby neighbourhood.

This particular home features an indoor tennis court, an indoor saltwater pool and a marble staircase. Not to mention an underground eight-car garage.

This gated community is known for its expansive two-acre lots and is home to some of Canada’s most famous residents, including rapper Drake.

The Bridle Path neighbourhood would offer the royal couple the “utmost of privacy,” said Cohen. “That community could service them well.”

And this particular 14,280 sq. ft., 11-bedroom property is no stranger to royalty.

“The sprawling bungalow used to be owned by Prince,” said Cohen.
