Bev Koffel, who owns Deep Cove Chalet told the Post she met the Sussex royals' security team last week to discuss hosting the couple - but that her husband, chef Pierre Koffel, turned down their reservation due to the tight security involved.
As the royal family celebrated Christmas at Sandringham with the Queen, Meghan, Prince Harry and baby Archie spent the day with the Duchess of Sussex's mother, Doria Ragland, in Vancouver.
After their own "bumpy" year, the couple chose to have a quiet, private Christmas away from the cameras in Canada, although The Vancouver Sun reports they have been seen hiking in Horth Hill regional park on Vancouver Island, and jogging in the neighbouring town of North Saanich.
