Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to prove the British tabloids wrong. They aren’t interested in making every move in the spotlight. The Sussexes prefer to do their work or go on vacation so far under the radar that the U.K. tabloids didn’t know they were there until after the fact. The dynamic duo managed to slip in and out of Costa Rica for a pre-holiday vacation before the press even found out about it.
The couple was reportedly visiting from Dec. 14-20, but the Costa Rican media didn’t make the news public until after they left, according to CRHoy.com. Harry and Meghan were able to enjoy their drama-free holiday with Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2, as any average family. The local press was very aware of the royal family‘s presence, and they did snap photos (see the photos HERE), but they respectfully waited until they had departed the country.
The Sussexes reportedly rented a house for their vacation, and it was a neighbor who noticed the couple’s security detail and luxury SUVs transporting them around the area. In one snapshot, Meghan, Harry, and Lilibet are in a golf cart, dressed in tropical casual outfits. The Duchess of Sussex has on frayed denim shorts, a long-sleeve white shirt, and a big sunhat while Lilibet is adorably sitting on her dad’s lap. Another image shows Meghan carrying Lilibet in her arms where it’s easy to see the toddler’s cute strawberry-blonde ponytail. Archie wasn’t seen in any of the photos, but the media confirmed he was there with his family.
Harry and Meghan have been surprising the press with their unannounced events from the Vancouver Canucks-San Jose Sharks hockey game to promote the Invictus Games to Meghan moderating a Netflix panel for Misan Harriman’s short film. No one is getting the heads up that they are there — instead, they are quietly doing the work and going about their business. It defies every headline the U.K. tabloids put out there and the Sussexes are sticking to this strategy.
With 2024 just around the corner, Meghan has already teased some of their upcoming projects. “But we have so many exciting things on the slate. I can’t wait until we can announce them, but I’m just really proud of what we’re creating,” she said at Variety‘s Power of Women event. “My husband is loving it, too. It’s really fun.” So, expect the unexpected from the Sussexes in the coming year.
