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 notice they chose Canada, and not Mexico.
Cut them off and take them out of the will.
Who would have thought the Crown ultimately would be sunk by terminal grabbiness and tackiness?
At least it looks as if that’s how they’re going.
Meghan seems like a gold digger to me. I bet Harry will eventually hit the trail back to the UK.
Poor Harry,
Pu$$y whipped yet again.
Well, meth-eek-OH ain’t under the queens control. And they’ll pay for it how? Residuals from ‘Suits’ probably ain’t gonna cover it. If they decline to perform the “royal duties”, they shouldn’t be getting ANYTHING from the royal coffers.
Slumming with the commoners.
Why couldn’t Harry pick a nice British girl rather than this nobody?
ut they are set to bring in millions from lucrative commercial deals>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I wouldn’t count on it. How can a Megan-puppet make money? Harry will be laughed out of America, unless he has a marketable talent...perhaps he will become a stand up comedian? Will he become an actor. call himself “dirty Harry” if he becomes a scion of Clint Eastwood?
Pussy whipping in public is a sordid spectacle.
waterfront home and they rail about climate change?
That looks like alot of maintenance to me.
Just what is “organic gender neutral paint”?
This guy coulda married just about anyone...
because British girls have bad teeth?
They will probably buy a second mansion in the Vancouver, B.C. area. That would be a quick flight down the West Coast to Los Angeles.
Start on the northern border wall (which I have always advocated anyway) Now!
I’d be curious to see his books. As I understand, he’s got about $30 million Diana Dollars, which is about what the house costs. They won’t have British state money if they aren’t royals. So, how do they fund that? An ultra jumbo mortgage?
For that kind of money i would think consider it.
