Canada's biggest newspaper says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not welcome and they should not treat the country as a 'halfway house'

Daily Mail
  • The Globe and Mail, a conservative, traditionally monarchist paper condemned the couple's move to Canada
  • It comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomed the Sussexes and said they 'were among friends'
  • But paper said Canada 'not a halfway house for anyone looking to get out of Britain while remaining a royal'
  • It comes after Queen announced 'transition period' following Monday's crisis talks at Sandringham
  • Her Majesty confirmed the Sussexes 'will spend time in Canada and the UK' but details were glaringly sparse
  • Despite much interest over who will foot bill, The Globe and Mail says the issue is a deeper constitutional one
  • It said: 'This country's unique monarchy, and its delicate yet essential place in our constitutional system, means that a royal resident – the prince is sixth in the line – is not something that Canada can allow'
