After a full day of appearances at the Invictus Games (including a meangingful stop in Squamish Nation), Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took time for themselves for a romantic double date in town at Whistler hotspot Il Caminetto with Michael Bublé and his wife, Luisana Lopilato. The couples spent over two hours dining at the Italian restaurant.
For the occasion, the Duchess of Sussex wore a significant piece of jewelry: the diamond Maya Brenner earrings Harry gifted her last Valentine’s Day, T&C can exclusively confirm. Meghan been a customer of the brand for years; in December 2016, she wore a Maya Brenner necklace featuring the initials ‘H’ and ‘M’ on a dainty gold chain to confirming their romance to the world.
“We're in Los Angeles and so we have a lot of celebrities that wear our jewelry, but royalty is on a whole other level, and you could tell that from the moment that happened,” Brenner told T&C back in 2021. “It was very, very exciting, but also intimidating at the same time, because we're a small jewelry company and we weren't prepared for that level of attention.”
For the dinner, Meghan paired the earrings with a Carolina Herrera cape and Aquazzura pumps, having changed out of the cream Mackage jacket and Sorell snow boots she wore all afternoon.
Meghan has long been a Valentine’s Day fan; ten years ago, on her blog The Tig, she wrote, “Hook, line and sinker, I am such a sucker for Valentine's Day. Without fail, every February 14th, I wake up feeling like I’m immersed in a Robert Doisneau photo, waiting with bated breath to be dipped into a kiss. This is all happening in black and white, of course. And in Paris, if I had my way. But delusions of francophile grandeur aside, Valentine’s Day is special wherever you happen to find yourself.”
The double date capped off another busy day in Canada for the Duke and Duchess: They began their engagements at Squamish Nation, where their visit “righted a wrong from the past,” as Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) spokesperson Wilson Williams told T&C. In the afternoon, they joined Williams at the Whistler welcome party, where Harry delivered remarks.
Bublé—after an impromptu, a capella performance of “Feeling Good”—introduced Prince Harry, saying, “without the incredible effort of this young man, none of this would happen,” referring to the games. As soon as Harry took the stage, he joked, “Can you imagine bringing Michael Bublé out here, and saying, ‘You know what, I didn’t come to sing!’ Well why are you here?!”
The Sussexes will spend today in Whistler as well, where they’re expected to attend alpine skiing, skeleton, and biathlon.
