This Valentine’s Day, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry embraced the chill of Whistler, British Columbia, marking the occasion with warmth and intimacy despite the freezing temperatures. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s celebration came on the heels of launching their innovative Sussex website, further spotlighting their dynamic presence on and off the public stage.
As the day dedicated to love unfolded, Meghan and Harry made a stylish entrance into Il Caminetto, an Italian culinary haven in Whistler. Meghan, embodying the spirit of Valentine’s, adorned a striking red peplum coat, while Harry complemented her in a cozy blue sweater.
Their choice of venue, known for its exceptional cuisine, offered a special holiday menu meticulously crafted by Executive Chef Mark Mcloughlin. Priced at $109 per person, the four-course fixed menu featured delectable choices ranging from oysters and squash risotto to duck breast, culminating in an indulgent dessert selection that included salted caramel pudding and tiramisu, among others.
Earlier in the day, the Sussexes had participated in the opening of the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada, braving the snow and 25-degree weather. The couple, both in winter attire, joined competitors at a winter training camp, engaging with coaches and athletes in preparation for next year’s games. This visit underscored their commitment to the Invictus Games and the community it supports, highlighting the resilience and spirit of service members.
Their trip to Canada was not just about official engagements but also marked a significant family milestone. Following the launch of their new Sussex.com website, it was revealed that their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, would adopt the surname ‘Sussex,’ symbolizing unity and a new chapter for the family. This decision, reminiscent of Harry’s time known as Captain Wales in the army, reflects a deeper desire for a cohesive family identity, further solidified by their recent engagements and initiatives.
The Sussexes’ Valentine’s Day in Whistler was a blend of public duty and private celebration, a testament to their ability to balance their roles with their commitment to each other. From a romantic dinner to engaging with the Invictus Games community, Meghan and Harry showcased the depth of their bond and their dedication to causes close to their hearts. Amid the snow and under the Canadian sky, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Valentine’s Day was a royal affair to remember, filled with love, warmth, and a touch of culinary delight.
