Royal Romance: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Whistler Valentine’s Date Night
After a full day of appearances at the Invictus Games (including a [meaningful stop in Squamish Nation](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a63741377/meghan-markle-prince-harry-squamish-nation-visit/)), **Prince Harry** and **Meghan Markle** took some time for themselves during a **romantic double date** in the city at the hotspot [Il Caminetto](https://ilcaminetto.ca) in Whistler with Michael Bublé and his wife, Luisana Lopilato. The couples spent over two hours dining at the Italian restaurant.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have already had their romantic Valentine’s date
For the occasion, the **Duchess of Sussex** wore an important piece of jewelry: the diamond Maya Brenner earrings that Harry gave her as a Valentine’s Day gift, as exclusive confirmed by [_Town & Country_](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a63741085/meghan-markle-prince-harry-valentines-day-date-night-whistler). Meghan has been a customer of the brand for years; in December 2016, she wore a [Maya Brenner necklace](https://mayabrenner.com/blogs/celebrities/meghan-markle-asymmetrical-letter-necklace) with the initials ‘H’ and ‘M’ on an elegant gold chain to confirm their romance to the world.
The Sussexes hand in hand at skeleton earlier in the day.
‘We’re in **Los Angeles** and so we have a lot of celebrities wearing our jewelry, but royalty is on a whole different level, and you could see that from the moment that happened,’ shared Brenner in 2021 with [_T&C_](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a36829568/kate-middleton-meghan-markle-monogrammed-necklaces). ‘It was very, very exciting, but also intimidating 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, after taking off her [cream Mackage jacket and Sorell snow boots](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/fashion-trends/a63665926/meghan-markle-outfits-invictus-games-2025-shop) she had been wearing all afternoon.
Fan of Valentine’s Day
Meghan has long been a fan of **Valentine’s Day**; ten years ago, she wrote on her blog _The Tig_: ‘I love Valentine’s Day. Without fail, I wake up every February 14th feeling like I’m immersed in a Robert Doisneau photo, waiting with bated breath to receive a kiss. All this in black and white, of course. And in Paris, if I had my way. But regardless of the francofiler grandeur, Valentine’s Day is special wherever you are.’
The **double date** was the culmination of another busy day in Canada for the duke and duchess: they started their obligations at [Squamish Nation](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a63741377/meghan-markle-prince-harry-squamish-nation-visit), 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 gave a speech.
‘The text continues below the post.’
_Bublé_ introduced Prince Harry, after an impromptu, a cappella performance of _Feeling Good_, and said: ‘Without the incredible effort of this young man, none of this would be happening,’ referring to the games. Once **Harry** took the stage, he joked: ‘Can you imagine getting Michael Bublé here and saying, “You know what, I didn’t come here to sing!” Well, why are you here?!’
The Sussexes had previously attended the Alpine Skiing, Skeleton, and Biathlon events in Whistler.
