Harry, 35, and 38-year-old Meghan are set to snap up the property for a knockdown price after new tax rules on top-end homes sparked a 16 per cent drop in value in the area over two years.
Their near neighbours would include Canadian billionaire founder of the uber-trendy Lululemon Athletica yoga gear brand, Chip Wilson, whose mansion is worth £38 million.
Yoga and pilates fan Meg is known to be a fan of the Lululemon brand.
Kitsilano - full of rich and famous “movers and shakers” and particularly popular with trendy tech entrepreneurs - is seen as a perfect setting for her new life.
The mansion is far cry from sedate, Grade II listed Frogmore Cottage in the grounds of Home Park, Windsor.
The Queen is said to be "privately furious" at the money spent on Frogmore Cottage renovations following Prince Harry and Meghan's announcement they are moving abroad.
The royal couple have lived there since their publicly-funded £23.7million wedding.
Taxpayers also shelled out another £2.4million to fully modernise the historic 219-year-old property installing luxuries including organic gender neutral paint for Archie’s nursery.
Sources claim Her Majesty is angry at the amount spent, now that the couple intend to start a new life in Canada.
The couple will lose the £2million-a-year from the taxpayer-funded Sovereign Grant as they are stepping down from senior roles.
But they are set to bring in millions from lucrative commercial deals, which will be added to their already staggering £33million fortune.
This comes as they said how they wanted to become "financially independent".
Despite breaking ties with the royals,it's believed they will still be entitled to security, paid for by the taxpayer to the tune of around £600,000.
And it's thought they'll keep receiving £2million-a-year from Prince Charles through his private Duchy of Cornwall estate.

I picture him as a stay at home dad and she will land a movie deal>>>>>>>>>>>>
A direct inheritor of the lineage of King Arthur and the Knights of the round table evolves into the obscurity of beta male dish washing, unable to save even himself let alone pull a sword from a stone.
What a laugh.
Get the apron ready. He’ll wear it 24/7.
Well, that King who abdicated (Edward) for the love of an ugly, divorced American woman, ended up as ambassador to some island, the name of which I have forgotten. Maybe Harry and Mrs Windsor can represent the Crown on Kangaroo Island.

That would keep them monogamous in any event. It may come to that.
