Harry and Meghan on rare holiday where 'billionaires go to escape millionaires'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have headed to a celebrity hotspot for their Caribbean getaway on the tiny island of Canouan in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

The couple endured a busy week as they returned to New York for the first time since a near-catastrophic car chase in May. They couple attended the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards at the time, where Meghan was honoured — and after which, the couple’s spokesperson claimed, they were pursued by a “ring of highly aggressive paparazzi." In a statement, the prince's spokesperson said the "relentless pursuit" lasted more than two hours by half a dozen vehicles.

This time around, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen heading to the Archewell Foundation Parents' Summit as part of Project Healthy Minds' World Mental Health Day Festival with police escorts and a seven-car convoy comprised of hefty blacked-out SUVs with an additional security measure even in place, which was in the form of a marked NYPD escort accompanying their slick fleet of cars.

After a seemingly successful visit, the pair have jetted off to the luxurious Caribbean paradise, regularly enjoyed by the likes of Amal and George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Amy Schumer, Mark Walhberg and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Meghan was seen wearing a white maxi-dress with a panama hat, with Harry keeping it casual in navy shorts and a white t-shirt teamed with flip flops. The passer-by said that the couple appeared to be without their children for the trip as they showed one another affection.

They told Daily Mail : "They looked happy. As Harry walked out of the shop, he slightly bumped into one of the barrels [outside] and they both giggled and Meghan reached for his hand. They just looked very happy to be having a holiday together."
