PRINCE Harry took a 3,000 kilometre detour to Canada to snatch some time with his girlfriend Meghan Markle after his Caribbean tour.

He had been due to fly straight back from Barbados to London on Sunday and has an official job tomorrow, reports The Sun.

He arrived in Canada on Sunday night and reportedly went straight to her Toronto home.

A friend said: “Harry just couldn’t wait to see her.

“He was due to fly back to London on a British Airways flight with the rest of his entourage.

“But he changed his mind and diverted straight to see her as they couldn’t bear to be apart.

“It’s just another sign of how head-over-heels he is about her.

“He is absolutely besotted. We’ve never seen him so happy — it’s great.”

Meghan, 35, was spotted on the weekend stocking up on groceries and flowers ahead of Harry’s visit.

Harry, 32, has spent the past two weeks visiting seven Caribbean islands.

For part of the trip he couldn’t even call Meghan as the ship he was staying on had no mobile phone signal.

Harry has spent the past fortnight in the Carribbean.

The pair last saw each other three weeks ago when the actress came to London.

Meghan took a private jet to London and spent nearly a week at Harry’s London home in the grounds of Kensington Palace.

During that trip, Harry confirmed they were an item with a strongly-worded statement.

The unprecedented step by Kensington Palace — officially confirming their relationship at a relatively early stage — led to speculation their romance could even lead to marriage.

And Harry introduced her to his brother Prince William, 34, although she is yet to meet Kate.

Meghan has just finished filming for the sixth series of Suits and says she is planning to enjoy “travelling” and a holiday in December.

She said recently: “My cup runneth over and I’m the luckiest girl in the world.”

Kensington Palace refused to comment on the “private matter.”
