Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Observing the Quarantine During the Coronavirus Outbreak
We’re in the middle of the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis and no one is really sure where it will lead. The United States and Canada are hoping that the precautions we are taking now will be enough to save lives. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict how this will pan out. We do know that many public figures including celebrities and politicians are choosing to self-quarantine.
Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have returned to Vancouver Island in Canada where they have been residing since the end of last year. The pair have been living in a $14 million mansion that sits on extensive land. However, prior to the coronavirus outbreak, the duo loved going on long nature walks and chatting with the locals.
Now, amid this global health crisis, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are doing their part and observing the quarantine.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are alarmed by the coronavirus pandemic
When Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex arrived in the U.K. to complete their final royal engagements, the coronavirus was just beginning to spread through the western world. An insider close to the duchess explained that Meghan was feeling really alarmed by what’s happening with the outbreak. “The Duchess of Sussex revealed she hasn’t had the time to fully educate herself on coronavirus,” the source told Express. “However, she believes the coronavirus outbreak, which continues to grip Europe, is rather alarming.”
Since there wasn’t much information on the virus at the time, the Sussexes decided to leave their son, Archie Harrison in Canada with a caretaker as a precaution.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s routine has altered
Though they are away from the glaring spotlight of the British media, the duke and duchess had been enjoying the picturesque views of Vancouver Island. “Meghan takes a walk with Archie every single day through the woods,” a local told Us Weekly. “She either pushes him in a stroller through the paved trails through the public woods by their home or straps him on and walks the more rustic routes. The walks usually last around an hour or two, but she takes them daily.”
Obviously, the Sussexes will no longer be getting out and about, at least outside of the confines of their property. Thankfully, they have more than enough room to remain healthy and safe within their home.
Their Vancouver Island home sits on four acres and has access to two beaches. “The home is fully furnished with a 11,416 square foot main house with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms and a 2,349 square foot guest cottage with three beds and two baths,” Daily Mail reports. “The estate has, a formal dining room, paneled office with fireplace, large two-story living room opening to the chef’s kitchen with pizza oven, game room with wet bar, media room and wine tasting room.”
