Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are spending six weeks in Canada this Christmas as they take a break from royal duties.

The couple flew across the Atlantic last month alongside their eight-month-old son Archie, landing at a secret hideaway where they'll enjoy Christmas with Meghan's mother Doria and other friends, according to MailOnline.

The former actress counts Toronto as another home, after living in the capital city for seven years while she worked on Suits.

It's thought that stylist Jessica Mulroney, her husband Ben and their three children will also join the Royals for Christmas, while other friends are said to be crossing the border to see them too.

The pair reportedly decided to go to Canada in a bid to go undetected over Christmas, believing they would be more likely to succeed than if they headed back to Meghan's home country, America.

A friend told the publication, ‘They have barely set foot outside the door and have been enjoying some quality family time together.’

The news comes after Prince Harry shared his Christmas wishes to bereaved British Armed Forces children. The Royal dressed as Santa Claus in the clip, which was shared at Scotty's Little Soldiers Christmas party on a boat on the River Thames this week.

'Losing a parent is incredibly hard but I know that every single one of you by helping each other out that you will have an amazing future ahead of you and a fantastic Christmas as well,' he told them in the one-minute clip.

'Your parents, they will never be forgotten and you will never be forgotten.'
