Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could turn Vancouver Island 'into the next Martha's Vineyard,' marketing experts say.

Eric Smallwood, president of the Apex Marketing Group, said all of that buzz is worth more than $38 million in positive brand value for the country, with that number increasing daily based on news coverage and information about the Sussexes’ new life on Vancouver Island, according to an analysis he conducted for NBC News.

If the Sussexes decide to keep a permanent residence on the island, experts expect housing demands will increase, driving up existing property values. Construction jobs were already on the rise, due to demand for homes, according to a 2019 Vancouver Island Economic Alliance report.

No they won’t.

You do know that Vancouver Island is the size of Great Britain, right?

Please don’t! Many of us left West Vancouver to get away from that!

Or they could turn it into a trashy trailer park. Just sayin’...

As if ....... 😂😂😂

They could even Change the name to SIMP island after harry the SIMP

No one cares

Who are these two people 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Isn’t that sweet even though they are millionaires in their own right daddy is paying for their extravagant lifestyles.

With what money?

Real estate and rental prices here are already crazy high, not looking forward to this at all.

Please, no.

Who would want to live by them

So what, nobody really cares.

Don’t care

And who cares?

Desperate for an interview?

Until the marriage falls apart.

Giant 🙄🙄🙄

Anyone really care?

Another beautiful spot about to be commercialized. What a terrible shame. Saw Laguna Beach go under in the 60's, North Kohala in the 2000's... it's terrible to watch places get ruined by rich people.

Yes, they're young & talented with great background.

It is already..,,

beautiful place. The whole West Coast of North America is beautiful.

Sooner or later Prince Harry will get homesick

I think you spend too much time on reporting stories about Harry and Meghan.

Hahaha....omg 🤣🤣🤣 get a life

Very probable!

Ironically their wish is the same as mine. That they fade away into obscurity. Of course... media...

Jesus is coming soon hallelujah.

And then get bored and leave. It's what they do.

I wish these would show some concern for climate change. Maybe fly commercial more often. Better still, in economy class. Maybe, Harry, give a speech at the next J P Morgan conference urging attendees to take action on climate, and not a speech about the loss of your mom.

Yeah..that's what we most hope for from this couple.

Time 4 Mitt-

Harry should put a double wide in layaway just in case.

Can't help but wonder how all of the residents facing being gentrified out of their communities are gonna feel about that.

My favorite place to visit. Also Victoria Island and the Butchart gardens.

It was a wise move on Harry's part to walk away from it all. To start afresh. The whole Megexit stank of racism, from the palace to the British Press. The pedophile Prince Andrew is getting rehabilitated, while Meghan Markle is shown the door?

Bullshit

Jfc no

I truly doubt that....I've been to Martha's vineyard....no comparison at all. Besides these two will be long gone before anything at all can happen.

This doesn't affect me.

They just want to live life, what is wrong with that?

Not the transformation Vancouver Island is looking for.

Good for them.

Yay?

No one cares.

Leave them alone
