The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are spending private family time in Canada, their spokesman confirmed tonight.

In a statement Harry and Meghan said the decision to base themselves in Canada “reflects the importance of this Commonwealth country to them both".

Their official spokesman said: “For security reasons we will not be releasing any further details and request that their privacy is respected.”

The Duke of Sussex has been a frequent visitor to Canada over many years, and it was also home to The Duchess for seven years before she became a member of the Royal Family.

The statement said: “They are enjoying sharing the warmth of the Canadian people and the beauty of the landscape with their young son.”

The Duke of Sussex wore a big white beard, festive suit and hat as he urged the youngsters to look out for one another.

In the message, shared by charity Scotty's Little Soldiers, he says: "Losing a parent is incredibly hard, but I know that every single one of you, by helping each other out, will have an amazing future ahead of you and you're going to be having a fantastic Christmas as well."
