MINHMEO

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent their first Christmas with baby Archie in a $14.1 million waterfront mansion owned by a mystery multi-millionaire, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The royal family and the Duchess of Sussex’s mother Doria Ragland enjoyed time in one of the most idyllic spots on Vancouver Island.

Their presence in Canada had been confirmed before Christmas by prime minster Justin Trudeau. 

It has been reported that some royals had urged Harry and Markle to return from abroad to spend Christmas in the UK, following the hospitalization of Prince Philip. 

The eight-bedroom gated estate on Vancouver Island, Canada, boasts two beaches and views across the peninsula from the four acre property.

Luxury property: The French country-inspired mansion was listed by Sotheby’s in 2012 for $18,459,645 Canadian dollars ($14.1 million USD, £10.7 million) fully furnished

Grandeur: The main house is 11,416 square feet with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms and a 2,349 square foot guest cottage with three beds and two baths

Tight security: Cameras and fences were erected at the property as early as December 19, and the mansion is now swarming with security guards

Discreet: Screens are seen covering the gates at the property to afford the royals some more privacy during the holidays

Private: A ‘private property, no trespassing’ sign is seen near the eight-bedroom gated estate on Vancouver Island, Canada

Locals in the island’s rural community of North Saanich noticed cameras and fences erected at the property as early as December 19, and the mansion is now swarming with security guards.

One officer from the couple’s royal protection team was spotted patrolling the roads dressed in a Barbour jacket and driving a black Range Rover, and two other British guards were seen flying out from nearby Victoria International Airport, swapping in for new officers.

Locals described the weather as ‘excellent’ for the time of year. The royal couple have enjoyed mostly sunshine with highs of 48F during the day and lows of 32F at night. On Christmas day there was light rain in the morning with a temperature of 41F, which brightened into sunshine with clouds and 43F for the afternoon.  

The French country-inspired mansion was listed by Sotheby’s in 2012 for $18,459,645 Canadian dollars ($14.1 million USD, £10.7 million) fully furnished, with a 11,416 square foot main house with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms and a 2,349 square foot guest cottage with three beds and two baths.

Baby Archie was front and center in the Christmas card shared with fans 

Inside the main house is a formal dining room, paneled office with fireplace, large two-story living room opening to the chef’s kitchen with pizza oven, game room with wet bar, media room and wine tasting room, according to the Sotheby’s listing. 

A friend of a previous resident, 41-year-old Hsin Pai, told DailyMail.com that the property used to be owned by a German actress.

The property was then bought around 2010 by Bernadette Wolfswinkel, the ex-wife of disgraced Arizona property magnate Conley Wolfswinkel who was convicted of bank fraud and was accused of owing US taxpayers $2 billion.

In 2012, Wolfswinkel, 70, listed the property for $14.1 million with a Sotheby’s realtor. Wolfswinkel’s friend, Pai, said she sold the mansion to a wealthy businessman around that time.

A neighbor also told DailyMail.com the house had been sold ‘a few years ago’, and an estate agent involved in the deal confirmed that the property had been sold to a US-based ‘billionaire’ who was neither American nor Canadian. 

The property is designed for its ownership to remain discreet. It is ultimately the property of a country club, and the purchaser bought shares in the country club to become its owner. 

The owners have held lavish fireworks displays from their property.

One neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous said: ‘We were all down there. They floated a barge out there and shot of a good $30-40,000 worth of fireworks.

‘We’re down there all the time,’ the neighbor added. ‘It’s very different looking right now. There’s a camera down there and temporary fencing.

‘It looks very cut off right now, it’s not usually like that. I knew they were here on Wednesday, and by Friday everybody around here knew.

‘By Christmas day it looked like Halloween. No-one’s ever on that street normally, but there were massive amounts of people just “walking their dogs”,’ the neighbor said.

‘It’s got a full on turret on one side. It’s pretty neat. I’m glad they’re staying there, because it’s an $18m (CAD) property, that’s what it was on sale for a few years ago, and it’s such a waste of the property for no one to be there.’

The property boasts a conservatory out on the four-acre grounds with two beach access points.

In 2012, then-owner Wolfswinkel told Ocean Home magazine that the property used to be the home of a German movie star, but that when she bought it she knocked it down and rebuilt it to her own specifications.

‘I can’t really explain it,’ Wolfswinkel told the agazine. ‘People may come for a few days or a week, but they don’t want to leave. And I feel it myself. It is very Zen, very comforting.’

Wolfswinkel set up a website in 2012 to advertise the property. The site is now defunct, but as recently as October 2016 it had pictures advertising the estate to rent with ‘full maid service, concierge and chef’.

A version of the site built in 2012 and archived in 2016 says the property is ‘presently being offered for sale, international executive retreat, vacation rental or event destination’.

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.

‘She’s been getting so much grief, she got hijacked by the lovely little journalist from Victoria,’ Pierre told DailyMail.com. ‘She didn’t think it was an official interview.

Backlash: 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.

‘We’ve been getting hundreds of emails, tens of phonecalls. Nothing but s**t, saying what terrible people we are. And we didn’t even meet the people or see them. It just took a life of its own. It f***ing pissed me off.’

The local newspaper reported that Pierre turned down Harry and Meghan because of their disruptive security needs, but the chef said it wasn’t true.

‘They came to have a look and then they left,’ he said. ‘I didn’t turn them down. I’ve got no idea where that came from, things take a life of their own.’

He said the emails and phonecalls berating the couple for turning down the royals had left them shaken.

‘We’re not used to it. I wish I was never involved in it, it’s getting worse and worse.’

North Saanich councillor Celia Stock told DailyMail.com the upmarket restaurant is often visited by wealthy clients who sometimes arrive by helicopter on its waterside front lawn, and is fully booked for the holiday season.

Police investigate Hanukkah hate crime after thugs scrawled anti-Semitic graffiti across a synagogue, shops and cafes in London’s Hampstead and Belsize Park

• The Star of David and ‘9/11’ drawn on shops around Hampstead and Belsize Park
• It is understood that the numbers refer to a conspiracy theory over 2001 attacks
• The Metropolitan Police said it is ‘investigating a racially motivated hate crime’

Anti-Semitic graffiti found daubed across several shop fronts and a synagogue in north London has been condemned as ‘disgraceful’ and ‘senseless’.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn sent a message of ‘love and solidarity’ to Jewish communities, while shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer and Hampstead and Kilburn MP Tulip Siddiq also spoke out against the incident during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

The Jewish holy symbol alongside the numbers ‘9 11’ was spray-painted in red and purple on several premises in the Hampstead and Belsize Park area, including South Hampstead Synagogue, on Saturday night.

The graffiti references an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Jews are responsible for the 9/11 terror attack, and was found less than two hours after five people were stabbed at a rabbi’s home in New York.

Police have said they are investigating the graffiti as a racially motivated hate crime after receiving reports of the vandalism at 11.30pm on Saturday.

The graffiti was seen being removed from shop windows on Sunday afternoon.

Mr Corbyn said on Twitter: ‘How terrible that Chanukah started with a message of hope and on this last day we face antisemitic graffiti in London and horrific stabbings at a party in New York.

‘We stand with all our communities facing hate. We send love and solidarity to Jewish communities around the world.’ 

The Star of David and ‘9/11’ were plastered over cafes and stores in Hampstead and Belsize Park

Ms Siddiq condemned the vandalism as ‘unbelievable, senseless, disgusting anti-Semitism at the heart of our community’.

She added: ‘I am in touch with Camden Council and Borough Commander (Raj) Kohli regarding clean-up and attempting to find these criminals – we must all stay vigilant in order to continue the fight against this hatred.’

And Sir Keir said: ‘I agree with Tulip. This graffiti is disgusting and we must stand with the Jewish community against antisemitism.

‘If you have any information about who may be responsible for this crime, please contact the Camden police on 101.’ 

It is understood the numbers are in reference to a conspiracy theory that tries to link Jews to the September 11 attacks in New York in 2001

The Board of Deputies replied to James Sorene’s tweet, posting: ‘This is a reminder that antisemitism is still with us’

Camden Council leader Georgia Gould released a joint statement alongside Sir Keir and Ms Siddiq, which said they were ‘horrified’ by the vandalism.

The statement read: ‘Camden is and always will be no place for hate.

‘We stand together with all of our Jewish residents and our whole community in saying these cowardly pedlars of hate do not represent Camden and our values.

‘We are proud to have a strong, vibrant Jewish community as part of our beautiful borough. (…)

‘This is not an isolated incident and we must all confront the rising tide of hate crime and antisemitism in the UK.

‘Now is the moment to find the courage to confront hatred and prejudice wherever we see it.’

The Metropolitan Police said it is ‘investigating a racially motivated hate crime in the Hampstead area’

Inspector Kev Hailes said: ‘This is clearly a concerning incident and one we are taking seriously.

‘We have liaised with our partners in order to remove the graffiti and various inquiries are under way to find who is responsible.

‘Officers will be on patrol throughout the area in order to provide some reassurance to local communities. Please approach us if you have any questions or concerns.’

Police have asked anyone who saw anything suspicious on Saturday night to call them on 101.

The incident comes after five people were stabbed at a rabbi’s home north of New York on Saturday night.

A knifeman attacked a Hanukkah celebration in Monsey, before fleeing in a vehicle at around 10pm, police said.

The attack appeared to be the latest in a string targeting Jews in the region, including a massacre at a kosher grocery store in New Jersey earlier this month.

Most of the globe may possibly not have professional a white Xmas this yr, but ‘cosmic snowflakes’ were being noticed in space.

NASA’s Spitzer Room Telescope captured a spectacular picture of new child stars, glimmering as pink and red specks lined in a sample that resembles a snowflake.

Nicknamed ‘Snowflake Cluster’, experts think these toddler buildings are just 100,000 several years outdated and have however to ‘crawl’ from where they have been birthed.

At the instant, these stars trace a straight line, but as they experienced, they will drift away and ‘the snowflake design and style will be no much more,’ NASA mentioned in a assertion.

The newborn stars have been spotted hiding at the rear of a thick dust in a section identified as ‘Christmas Tree Cluster’.

The freshly uncovered infant stars look as pink and red specks toward the heart and appear to be to have formed in often spaced intervals together linear constructions in a configuration that resembles the spokes of a wheel or the sample of a snowflake.

‘Star-forming clouds like this 1 are dynamic and evolving buildings,’ stated NASA,

‘Since the stars trace the straight line pattern of spokes of a wheel, researchers feel that these are newborn stars, or ‘protostars’.’

A working day following snowflakes had been spotted in place, NASA’s telescope captured yet another incredible image of what appeared like flames ripping by way of the empty void. 

The picture highlights the Perseus Molecular Cloud, which is a massive selection of gas and dust that stretches over 500 mild-decades across.

The fiery glow is a end result of infrared radiation from heat dust and clusters of stars that ‘illuminate the bordering clouds like the Sunshine lighting up a cloudy sky at sunset.’

The Perseus Molecular Cloud is household to an abundance of young stars and is positioned on the edge of the Perseus Constellation.

It has in excess of 10,000 solar masses of fuel and dust masking an space of dimensions by two degrees.

The infrared mild emitted from the gas and stars is invisible to the human eye but, Spitzer is created to seize the illumination of heat objects. 

To the ideal of this massive cloud sits a vibrant team of youthful stars regarded as NGC 1333 that is 1,000 mild-decades from Earth.

This clump of begins have been noticed by astronomers considering the fact that the mid-1980s, but beneath it lies clusters that nevertheless continue being a secret.

‘They seem to comprise stellar infants, adolescents and grownups. This kind of a closely packed mixture of ages is extremely odd,’ according to Luisa Rebull, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Infrared Science

‘Archive at Caltech-IPAC who has examined NGC 1333 and some of the clusters under it.’

The fiery glow is a result of infrared radiation from heat dust and clusters of stars that ‘illuminate the encompassing clouds like the Sun lights up a cloudy sky at sunset.’ The Perseus Molecular Cloud is residence to an abundance of younger stars and is located on the edge of the Perseus Constellation

This clump of begins have been noticed by astronomers considering that the mid-1980s, but beneath it lies clusters that continue to continue being a thriller

‘Although lots of stellar siblings may possibly kind with each other in restricted clusters, stars are normally transferring, and as they expand older they have a tendency to move farther and farther apart.’

Getting these types of a carefully packed mixture of clear ages would not in good shape with current strategies about how stars evolve.

‘This location is telling astronomers that there’s something we don’t understand about star development,’ said Rebull.

‘The puzzle offered by this area is one issue that retains astronomers coming back to it. ‘It’s a person of my preferred areas to review.’

Considering the fact that IRAS’s early observations, the area has come into clearer emphasis, a approach that is common in astronomy, claimed Rebull. 

New devices deliver extra sensitivity and new approaches, and the story becomes clearer with every single new technology of observatories. 

On Jan. 30, 2020, NASA will decommission the Spitzer Area Telescope, but its legacy has paved the way for upcoming observatories, such as the James Webb Place Telescope, which will also notice infrared mild.

The Spitzer-MIPS info applied for this image is at the infrared wavelength of 24 microns. 

Tiny gaps along the edges of this image not noticed by Spitzer have been loaded in employing 22-micron information from NASA’s Wide-Field Infrared Study Explorer (Intelligent).

WHAT IS THE SPRITZER Space TELESCOPE?

The Spitzer Room Telescope – formerly recognised as the Space Infrared Telescope Facility – is an infrared cousin of the Hubble Space Telescope.

It is made up of a space-borne, cryogenically cooled telescope with lightweight optics that deliver gentle to sophisticated, massive-format infrared detector arrays 

It is able of researching objects ranging from our photo voltaic technique to the distant reaches of the universe. 

Peering back again into the early universe, it seems at young galaxies and forming stars.

The Spitzer Place Telescope – previously identified as the Space Infrared Telescope Facility – is an infrared cousin of the Hubble Space Telescope (artist’s effect). The band of mild in this graphic is the glowing dust from the Milky Way noticed at 100 microns

It is also utilised to detect dust disks all around stars, deemed an important signpost of planetary development.

The mission is the fourth and final observatory below NASA’s Fantastic Observatories program.

This mission also incorporates the Hubble Room Telescope, Chandra X-Ray Observatory and Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.  

It was released into orbit all over the solar, trailing guiding Earth, drifting in a benign thermal natural environment.

By employing this orbit, the spacecraft is capable to undertake an ground breaking “heat-start” architecture, in which only the instrument payload is cooled at start. 

By employing distinctive cooling in deep space, Spitzer is equipped to have significantly considerably less liquid helium than any previous infrared mission, which significantly cuts down mission development prices.

Despite the fact that 15 girls have carried out a spacewalk, each individual time they were being accompanied by their male colleagues.

In a additional than seven-hour mission outdoors of the Intercontinental Space Station, the women of all ages effectively finished their aim of repairing a damaged electricity controller that supplemented its photo voltaic network.

‘There are a good deal of people who derive motivation from inspiring stories from people who appear like them, and I consider that it´s an essential part of the tale to inform,’ Koch advised a NASA briefing in Houston in October. 

She ideas to enterprise back exterior two times a lot more in January, once again teaming up with Meir, to complete the installation of new solar array batteries for the station’s photo voltaic ability program.

All through her stay in aboard the Worldwide Area Station (ISS), Koch (suitable) concluded 4 spacewalks and produced headlines with her co-worker and finest mate, Jessica Meir (still left), by participating the initial all-female spacewalk October 12

When Koch comes back again to Earth on February 6, she will have expended just 12 times shy in place as retired astronaut Mark Kelly who stayed on the ISS for a full of 438 days

When Koch will come back again to Earth on February 6, she will have expended just 12 days shy in house as retired astronaut Mark Kelly who stayed on the ISS for a whole of 438 times.

Even so, Whitson continue to holds the all-time US history with 665 times, but was completed over five distinctive flights.

‘It’s a large honor,’ Koch mentioned early Friday in an job interview with ‘CBS This Morning.’

‘Peggy is a heroine of mine who’s also been sort more than enough to mentor me as a result of the many years.’

‘You know … it is not so significantly how several days you might be up below, but what you do with each of these times. That reminds me to bring my best each and every one day.’

Koch retains a master’s in electrical engineering, is a veteran of many investigate excursions in Antarctica and Greenland, and aided design and style instruments at the Goddard Space Flight Centre for NASA science probes in orbit all over Earth and Jupiter, in accordance to CBS Information.

‘It’s a great time for human spaceflight mainly because I feel we last but not least identify that it is really not value going unless we go together, that it is crucial to not convert away any revolutionary plan, that all people has a position and everybody has a place at the desk as we go ahead,’ Koch claimed.

This 12 months looks to have been a political nightmare for the US, in accordance to a new chart based on research trends of 2019.

The calendar year started off with the document-breaking authorities shutdown and ended with ‘Impeachment’ as the most popular searched term.

Though most of the trends on the list are grave, ‘Blackface’, ‘Mass shooting’ and ‘Recession’, there are a couple of that brought us back to happier moments, these as ‘Baby Yoda’, ‘SpaceX’ and ‘Game of Thrones’. 

The chart demonstrates ‘Jeffrey Epstein’ and ‘Impeachment’ ended up equivalent in their one massive spike.

For impeachment, which was the most popular research at the close of the 12 months, the s optimum peak of Google desire transpired the week of September 22, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced the impeachment inquiry.

And also the week of December 15th, when President Donald Trump became the third president in US record to be impeached.

Even so, Activity of Thrones policies supreme with the most significant uptick of them all in 2019.

The chart was made utilizing facts from Google News Lab, which according to AXIOS, ‘highlights how public’s attention span was as the media darted from on significant issue to another’. 

The year kicked off with the government shutdown that started in December 2018 and ran into January of this year – the event lasted for 35 days, generating it the longest in historical past.

The partial shutdown was due to the Democrats rejecting President Donald Trump’s $5 billion invoice to fund his US – Mexico border wall.

As a outcome, funding for government companies expired, leaving roughly 800,000 federal personnel with no paychecks.

Trump signed the bill on January 25th to conclude the shutdown.

This year appears to have been a political nightmare for the US, according to a new chart based on research trends of 2019. The yr started off with the history-breaking govt shutdown and ended with ‘Impeachment’ as the most common searched term

The chart displays ‘Jeffrey Epstein’ (still left) and ‘Impeachment’ were very similar in their one big spike. ‘Greta Thunberg’ (ideal) acquired surges of desire in late September and mid-December, supplying her much more lookup fascination in the previous a few months

Even though ‘Government shutdown’ was a trending look for, ‘Mexico-US border’ begun to spark people’s curiosity and had an uptick in searches.

Following came the Green New Deal, proposed in February by New York Agent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which was a congressional resolution for tackling climate transform.

This craze took off in February and was preferred into March, as was the surprising term ‘Blackface’.

The trend was sparked when Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia came beneath fire in early February for becoming a single of two adult males in a photo wherever one particular was in blackface and the other wore a Ku Klux Klan outfit.

Also a well-known research in March was the ‘North Keara-Hanoi Summit’, which manufactured background as North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump met for the to start with time.

‘Brexit’ is up coming on the listing and seems to have a continuous flow of queries commencing from the starting of the 12 months right until the end, as did ‘Israel’.

‘SpaceX’ also began trending at the beginning of the yr, but had its largest spike between April and May when the agency was established to launch its Falcon Significant rocket for its next-ever flight.

Nevertheless, Activity of Thrones policies supreme with the premier uptick of them all in 2019. What may possibly not come a surprise is ‘the clearly show experienced a spike among April May well, whilst the exhibit was airing on HBO
