Harry and Meghan’s presence in North Saanich was first revealed by local restaurateur Pierre Koffel and his wife Bev, who reportedly turned away the royal couple from their high-end restaurant because of their intense security requirements.
Koffel says he was merely visited by the royals’ security team and didn’t decline their reservations – but has still faced a backlash with ‘hundreds’ of emails and ‘dozens’ of phone calls from Harry and Meghan fans berating him for denying their favorite royals their Christmas dinner.
The chef and co-owner of the Deep Cove Chalet in North Saanich told DailyMail.com that he and his wife were tricked into revealing the royals’ secret getaway, and have now received ‘hundreds of emails, tens of phonecalls’ accusing he and his wife of being ‘terrible people’.
The restaurateur’s wife, Bev, told the Vancouver Sun on Christmas Eve that they had been visited by Harry and Meghan’s security detail, casing their restaurant for a potential dinner spot for the couple.

The royals have had an action-packed year, with the high point being the arrival of baby Archie on May 6 weighing 7lb 3oz.
Two days later baby Archie was introduced to the world at a photocall in the Castle’s St George’s Hall, with Meghan declaring: ‘It’s magic, it’s pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I’m really happy.’
Keen to give him a normal life, Harry and Meghan chose not to use the courtesy title Earl Dumbarton or style him Lord Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, making a personal decision he should be a plain Master.
Just months before Archie’s arrival, Harry and Meghan undertook an official royal tour of Morocco in February.
Following his birth in the spring, the couple kept a relatively low profile over the summer, engaging in various charity visits.
Meanwhile September saw Vogue releasing a special issue guest edited by Meghan Markle, before the Duchess released a fashion line for charity Smart Works.
Later in September the couple went on a joint tour of South Africa, where they spoke out against the negative treatment they had experienced in a candid ITV interview.
In November the couple announced they would be taking a well-deserved break from royal duties, spending Thanksgiving and Christmas with Meghan’s mother Doria.
