Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have made a discreet arrival in Vancouver, Canada, as they embark on a three-day trip that underscores their commitment to the Invictus Games set for next year. 

DailyMail.com captured the couple's private jet touching down in the City of Glass shortly after midday, following a brief flight from Santa Barbara, the nearest airport to their Montecito residence.

Their jet made a swift 39-minute stopover in Vancouver before heading out to Victoria, completing the brief journey in a mere 15 minutes, covering just 34 nautical miles. 

This visit evokes memories of their previous stay at the Mille Fleurs mansion in North Saanich on Vancouver Island back in January 2020, a serene period prior to their eventual move to California amid the escalating Covid-19 crisis.

This move comes after Archewell's confirmation in June 2023 that the Sussexes had concluded their Spotify agreement, originally heralded as a $25 million (£18 million) deal when unveiled in late 2020.

Meghan's Archetypes, which aired 12 episodes starting in August 2022, delved into the complex tapestry of stereotypes faced by women, featuring conversations with icons like Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, and actors Mindy Kaling and Constance Wu.
