I’ve been doing
this before she
met Harry, I’m
not trying to
embarrass her.
I’m thrilled to
be in such a hot
industry
Dooley’s side of the family were not
at the royal wedding in 2018.
The high life
Earlier this year, the couple
announced they would be stepping
back from royal duties and would be
splitting their time between the UK
and Canada. They are understood to
have rented an $18 million home on
Vancouver Island on Canada’s west
coast, which is reported to be in an
area populated by hemp farms. The
waterfront property is said to boast
eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms and
has access to the beach.
Due to changes in the law
surrounding recreational cannabis
in Canada in October 2018, British
Columbia’s Saanich District has
introduced bylaws and has been
welcoming entrepreneurs who are
cultivating and selling non-medical
cannabis. It’s a developing industry
which could contribute billions to the
Canadian economy.
According to maps of the Agricultural
Land Reserve, among the areas given
the green light for such production
is Vancouver Island, where Meghan
and Harry have been based since the
Christmas period.

“The Prince of Wales thought it would
be educational and shocking for him
to attend.”
The royal we-ed
It’s not just Meghan that has a tie
to cannabis but Prince Harry is also
said to have tried cannabis while
attending a Highgrove party in 2002.
In a Netfl ix documentary, royal
correspondent, Jenny Bond said: “I
think Prince Charles was shocked to
fi nd Prince Harry was smoking weed.”
A senior offi cial for the palace said at
the time:
“We acknowledge that on several
occasions last summer, Prince Harry
experimented with cannabis. It is not
that he had or has a serious problem,
but he did take the drug. Prince
Harry did attend to Featherstone
Lodge for a day to learn about the
possible consequences of starting to
take cannabis.”
