On Monday, rumours were swirling that the newest royal couple — the beloved Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — was planning to honeymoon in Canada, specifically in Jasper, Alta., at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.
It was a complete 180-degree turn from earlier reports, which postulated that the royal pair would have their honeymoon in Botswana, Africa, a place close to both of their hearts. A report from celebrity gossip website TMZ claimed they had their sights set on the Great White North.

It turns out that the report is incorrect, and Harry and Markle are not staying at the hotel. Angela Moore, the regional director of public relations of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Canada’s Western Mountain Region, told Global News:
“Though Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge has a longstanding history of serving as a royal retreat, we can confirm that the couple is not currently booked for a stay. We are declining further comment at this time, as our top priority is always the safety and privacy of all of our guests. We appreciate your understanding.”
