It's official, our favourite royals, Harry, Meghan, and baby Archie are packing up and moving to North America for part of the year to "live a more independent life," according to the Queen. As the news broke, Canadians began to speculate where, exactly, the Duke and Duchess would settle. In hopes of getting their attention, I took it upon myself to play real estate agent and found a few Quebec homes that are fit for Meghan and Harry's new life in Canada.
Though the couple has demonstrated preference for Vancouver and Toronto, Montreal and its surrounding areas are not lacking in palatial homes that befit a family of royals.
Meghan and Harry seem like the kind of couple that would prefer being outside of the city, surrounded by nature or even somewhere on a golf course where they can better maintain their privacy.
However, if they do decide to settle down in a city, there is one particular downtown Montreal mansion that would be ideal for the young family.
For most, these mega-mansions are only attainable in dreams. But if you're sitting on a couple million and itching to spend it, these homes may be for you!ย
Chรขteau Fleur De Lys
This magnificent Mont-Tremblant mansion, constructed in 2012, looks like it was built with the Royal family in mind.
The 17,000 square-foot chรขteau has 50 rooms, including 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and 4 powder rooms.
There are also 17 fireplaces that are sure to keep the royals warm during the cold Quebec winters.

Impressive Family Compound
This breathtaking home is situated in the Laurentians and commands sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.
A waterfront pool, two docks, and a boathouse take full advantage of those vistas.
The impressive compound is on the market for over $4.9 million and I truly feel like Harry, Meghan, and Archie would love living in this impeccable home.

Downtown Montreal Royal Palace
Google street viewSituated in the heart of downtown Montreal, this $29.5 million home gives me major English countryside-estate vibes. The listing even calls it a "real-life Downton Abbey."
Renowned architect Charles Platt designed the home, supposedly his only work outside the U.S., according to the listing.
This iconic structure has hosted many exclusive guests, including Queen Elizabeth II, herself, making this an obvious choice for the royal couple.

Located on the Lac des Deux Montagnes, this enormous home is, in my opinion, a tastefully crafted masterpiece.
The custom-built residence is, according to the listing, "complete with a 6 car garage, elevator, spa, gym, indoor swimming pool, and cinema room."
The luxurious space is for sale for an impressive $9.5 million, so if you have that kind of money lying around, maybe you can beat Meghan and Harry to it!
