Before heading back home to California, Meghan Markle joined Prince Harry for another romantic double date with singer Michael Bublé and his wife, Luisana Lopilato, at an Italian restaurant
The Sussexes took Michael Bublé and his wife to a restaurant that holds a special place in their heart.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have dined with the singer and his wife, Luisana Lopilato, twice over the last week. On Saturday night, the foursome went to an Indian restaurant after watching the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games. The couples enjoyed a ‘special’ evening at Vij’s Indian in the city and had an ‘unforgettable night’.
Then on Monday evening, to mark Meghan’s final night in Canada, they reunited again to head out to a local Italian restaurant. Harry, Meghan, Michael and Luisana went to the village’s Il Caminetto and spent over two hours tucking into delicious food. The Duke and Duchess previously visited the restaurant on Valentine’s Day last year.

To the dinner, Meghan wore a pair of 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. She is now said to be heading back home to California, where she will be reunited with her and Harry’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while the Duke stays for the remainder of the week.
It was Meghan and Harry’s second time dining with friends Michael and Luisana since the Games began. They all enjoyed a low-key date night on Saturday, with the restaurant’s chef, Vikram Vij, taking to social media to praise their visit. He wrote: “Another incredible night at Vij’s. When food brings people together, magic happens! We were honoured to once again welcome Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Michael Bublé, and Luisana Lopilato for another unforgettable evening at Vij’s.
“Sharing great conversation, incredible flavours, and the joy of coming together—this is what dining is all about! A special night made even more meaningful as we celebrate the opening of the 2025 Invictus Games—a powerful tribute to resilience, courage, and the human spirit.” It came after Harry and Meghan put on an affectionate display, kissing and cuddling in the stands, at the opening ceremony.

The Sussexes took Michael and his wife Luisana to where they dined on Valentine’s last year
The Sussexes have appeared loved-up over the past few days in Vancouver with Meghan expressing her overwhelming pride in her husband. They have enjoyed the show from the stands, danced away to pop hits and cosied up with champagne. A passionate on-stage kiss was shared by the affectionate duo, and the couple have also made rare comments about their young children.
The Invictus Games, a sporting tournament which champions injured servicemen and women, is a cause incredibly close to Harry’s heart. The Duke founded the Games in London in 2014, and this year marks the seventh edition. It sees more than 500 athletes compete in 11 different events over nine days. Meghan was by Harry’s side for the first four, and he will stay for the last five days.
The Games ends on Sunday, February 16, meaning Harry will likely be away from Meghan for Valentine’s Day. Ten years ago, Meghan told of her love for the celebration on her blog. 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.”
