The comparatively humble abode that Meghan Markle called home in Canada before moving to Kensington Palace across the pond has hit the market with a $1.39 million price tag.
Located on Yarmouth Road in Toronto’s affluent Seaton Village neighborhood, the Duchess of Sussex rented this two-story property in 2017 while dating her future husband Prince Harry and filming the TV series “Suits,” Mansion Global first reported.
Although set in New York City, the legal drama was significantly shot in Toronto — something rather common due to lower costs. Toronto’s Bay-Adelaide Centre in the city’s downtown represented the fictional law firm where paralegal Rachel Zane, played by Markle, worked.
Prince Harry, 39, frequently visited Markle, 43, and her two dogs at the three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence, writing in his 2023 memoir “Spare” that “Meg was excited to show me her life, her dogs, her little house, which she adored,” according to Mansion Global.
After the pair got engaged in November of 2017, she moved to London, upgrading her address to the one and only Kensington Palace.
Shortly thereafter, the violet-painted building hit the market and attracted a great deal of Markle-related attention before quickly selling. Although the royals brought a great deal of attention to the house, increasing the amount of visitors it got by some 50%, the real estate agent at the time Alex Beauregard told the Toronto Star he didn’t believe the curiosity actually increased the sale price at all.
“I don’t feel like we’re going to see a princess premium,” he said to the outlet at the time, adding, “Would you pay an extra $20,000 because the prince used this washroom?”
In addition to its Royal Family connection, the property also features a Tiffany blue entry door, a remodeled front porch, an eat-in kitchen, a large backyard, a renovated basement, a second-story skylight and wide plank hardwood flooring throughout.
As well, the listing — which is held by Daniel Freeman of Freeman Realty — notes there’s a two-car garage with a Tesla Charger that could potentially be converted into a 1,330-square-foot guest house.
