Harry Spent Valentine's Day in an Igloo Decorated with His Wedding Photos
Prince Harry visited Norway on Valentine's Day, to meet service people in the Royal Marines involved in Exercise Clockwork, which takes place 200 miles inside the Arctic Circle.
Harry and Meghan spent their first Valentine's Day as a married couple apart, but the prince was welcomed in Norway with an igloo decorated with his wedding photos.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry spent their first Valentine's Day as a married couple apart, due to their busy schedule of royal engagements.
While Meghan remained at home, Prince Harry traveled to Norway to visit Exercise Clockwork, a Royal Marines operation in Bardufoss celebrating its 50th anniversary.
According to Kensington Palace's official Instagram account, "The Duke met specialist aircrew and engineers, finding out more about their experiences of flying with the Royal Marines in the Arctic Circle." Harry's visit also served to celebrate the impressive collaborative work taking place over the past 50 years between the two countries.

Per People, Harry was welcomed by service members who have to learn to deal with cold climes 200 miles inside the Arctic Circle. Harry, of course, became Captain General of the Royal Marines in 2017.
But the visit wasn't all business, because Harry arrived to find an igloo decorated with his royal wedding photos, in honor of Valentine's Day. There were also lit candles throughout the igloo, and romantic music was playing. Called the Quincey Shelter, the dug-out is used in emergencies in the freezing temperatures, but it was transformed for the Duke of Sussex's visit, who had the best reaction:
The adorable gesture hopefully made Harry a little less homesick as he missed his first Valentine's Day as Meghan Markle's husband.
