Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were interested in serving the Queen outside of Britain.

Harry writes in his biography ‘Spare’ that his 2019 Vancouver holiday with Meghan Markle made him understand they needed time away from the media.

He muses, recalling: “What if we could spend at least part of each year somewhere far away, still doing work for the Queen, but beyond the reach of the press? Free. Free from the British press, free from the drama, free from the lies. But also free from the supposed ‘public interest’ that was used to justify the frenzied coverage of us. The question was…where? We talked about New Zealand. “

Harry continues: “We talked about South Africa. Half the year in Cape Town maybe? That could work. Away from the drama, but closer to my conservation work—and to eighteen other Commonwealth countries.”
