Smitten Prince Harry secretly jetted off to spend Halloween celebrations with new flame Meghan Markle
PRINCE Harry jetted off on a Halloween trip to be with new girlfriend Meghan Markle and secretly stayed at her home for days.
The royal made the transatlantic dash to Canada to see the Suits actress last Thursday before news of their relationship broke.
They ventured out to a Halloween party in Toronto — and Harry was apparently trick-or-treating behind a mask.
But pals say the couple, who have been dating since June, mostly spent “cosy nights in” at her luxury apartment.
The prince did not return home to London until Tuesday.
A friend said: “The watchword on this has been total secrecy from the get-go. Harry wanted to keep this under wraps for as long as possible.

“She’d been to London several times but this was the first time he’d been to her home city.
“They haven’t been to bars or clubs because they were worried they’d be spotted.
“Instead it’s been cosy nights in with wine and good food. Harry loved every minute of it.”
Another friend of Harry’s said: “He was buzzing with excitement when he arrived. He couldn’t wait to see her again.”
Residents of Toronto neighbourhood The Annex say they saw two blacked-out SUVs with security guards, believed to he Harry’s, around for days. A Canadian cop car was also seen parked down the street.
Harry, 32, is said to have proved a hit with the most important males in her life — her labrador/shepherd dog Bogart and a beagle named Guy.
The couple met through a mutual friend at the end of May.
Meghan, 35, quietly went on dates with Harry on trips to London in June, July, September and last month.
A source said of the UN women’s advocate: “She’s met his closest circle of friends and they all love her.”
And Harry is so serious about Meghan that he has already introduced her to his father Prince Charles.
On her London visit last month, they had a double date with his cousin Eugenie and her boyfriend Jack Brooksbank.
Meghan dropped hints to her million Instagram followers about her visitor, including a teasing picture of two bananas decorated with faces and cuddling in the “spoons” position with the caption “Sleep tight”.
She divorced her producer husband of two years Trevor Engelson, 40, in August 2013.
