Meghan Markle's Toronto home is now on the market.

From the outside, this two-storey house in a leafy Toronto suburb looks quaint and unassuming, but behind its dark grey walls a Royal romance was able to blossom in private.

For this is Meghan Markle's former home, where she would play host to her boyfriend Prince Harry during their long-distance relationship. While Los Angles-born Meghan was in Toronto to film the legal drama Suits, Harry would visit up to twice a month, the Daily Mail reports.

Located on sleepy Yarmouth Road in the well-heeled Toronto neighbourhood of Seaton Village, the property, reportedly rented by the show, was home to Meghan for several years.

But now she has moved to Kensington Palace, its owner has put the three bedroom property up for sale for £810,000 ($1.6m) – £500,000 more than she paid for it a decade ago.

A strict vetting system has been put in place by the agents, Freeman Real Estate, to discourage Royal fanatics from snooping around, but the photos below show a glimpse inside the chic home, which holds fond memories for Harry.

The open-plan house, which is described by the estate agents as 'luxe', boasts a cinema room, a high-spec kitchen-diner, three sumptuous bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Decorated in 50 shades of grey, the property was once home to Meghan's selection of stylish coffee table books as well as her huge shoe collection, an array of scented candles, prayer beads and yoga mats.

It was also home to her two beloved dogs, Bogart and Guy, whose kennel and puppy play area, complete with sandpit, remains outside in the garden where she was known to throw summer barbecues for friends.

As Meghan – who will marry Harry in the spring – prepares for a life spent in opulent palaces and Scottish castles, the house must now seem a world away.
