In the latest royal escapade, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have left fans swooning as they touch down in Atlanta after a dreamy weekend on the exclusive Caribbean island of Canouan. DailyMail.com brings you an exclusive look at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s post-vacation glow, capturing every moment of their return from the tropical paradise.
From Canouan to Atlanta: A Royal Return
The jet-setting couple was spotted disembarking a private flight in Atlanta after a romantic weekend getaway in the tiny island of Canouan in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Exclusive photos from DailyMail.com showcase Meghan, 42, sporting a post-vacation glow and Harry, 39, donning a relaxed post-holiday look.


As they left the plane, Meghan turned heads in a black long-sleeve maxi dress, brown slip-on sandals, and a blue scarf, fully prepared for the cooler Atlanta weather. She completed the look with dark sunglasses, a messy bun, and a souvenir tote boldly proclaiming ‘Cream of the Islands.’ Meanwhile, Harry opted for casual comfort in a white polo shirt, olive pants, and a black cap, carrying his weekender bag.
Notably, the Sussexes’ two young children were not seen accompanying them on this trip, leaving fans curious about whether the getaway was for work or leisure. The couple’s destination has sparked speculation, with close friend Tyler Perry known to have a massive studio lot in Atlanta, adding a touch of intrigue to their visit.
Canouan: A Caribbean Paradise for the Royals
Canouan, the chosen destination for Meghan and Harry’s retreat, is a tiny island just three miles wide, renowned as the place where ‘billionaires go to escape millionaires.’ The island boasts gorgeous sandy beaches and upscale resorts, including the glamorous Canouan Estate Resort and Villas, the Mandarin Oriental, and the Soho Beach House Canouan.

The couple was spotted strolling hand-in-hand along the paved promenade next to a sun-splashed marina, enjoying the Caribbean sun. A photo captured Meghan and Harry leaving a gourmet food store inside the Sandy Lane Yacht Club and Marina in Glossy Bay. Meghan donned a simple ivory maxi dress and a ribboned Panama hat, while Harry kept it casual in navy shorts, a white t-shirt, and flip flops.
“They looked happy. As Harry walked out of the shop, he slightly bumped into one of the barrels [outside], and they both giggled, and Meghan reached for his hand. They just looked very happy to be having a holiday together,” a source told DailyMail.com.
The couple was reportedly shopping at Faye, an upmarket grocery store offering an exclusive selection of fresh seasonal organic products. Afterward, they enjoyed a leisurely stroll along the bougainvillea-festooned promenade before boarding a luxury tender that whisked them away towards Canouan’s north shore.
Canouan’s Celebrity Allure
Canouan is not a stranger to celebrity visitors, with George Clooney, Amal Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., and Leonardo DiCaprio among those who have fallen in love with the island’s charms. The island, meaning ‘island of turtles’ in the Carib language, is a short 45-minute hop from Barbados or a 15-minute trip from St Vincent. It’s a frequent choice for celebrities seeking luxury and seclusion.
Options for accommodation include the opulent Canouan Estate Resort and Villas, where rooms at the Mandarin Oriental start at $837 and rise to over $9000-a-night for the property’s lavish four-bedroom villa. Another celebrity-favorite, the Soho Beach House Canouan, offers a luxurious experience at $1,200 per night.
From Mustique to Canouan: Royal Retreats
Canouan is not the only exclusive island in the vicinity. It’s a stone’s throw away from another royal favorite, Mustique, where the late Princess Margaret owned a lavish villa named Les Jolies Eaux. Mustique, also part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, has become a favorite with the Prince and Princess of Wales, Mick Jagger, Bryan Adams, and Tommy Hilfiger, all of whom own homes there.
The Duke and Duchess’s Caribbean vacation caps off a week that saw them return to New York City for the first time since a ‘near catastrophic’ car chase in May. This week’s visit proved less controversial as the eco-conscious couple participated in a summit to mark World Mental Health Day. Meghan expressed concerns for children using social media during the panel discussion, emphasizing the need to address the evolving challenges posed by online platforms.
As the couple readjusts to city life, fans can’t help but wonder about their next royal adventure. Whether it’s work or leisure, Meghan and Harry continue to captivate audiences with their globe-trotting escapades and enduring romance. Stay tuned for more updates from the royal diaries!
