Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted enjoying lunch together at a Cotswolds pub.
On Thursday, the royal duo was snapped holding hands as they ambled to The Falkland Arms. It’s the first time they’ve been seen together since their surprise return to the UK.
They were dressed casually for the outing, with Harry wearing a Santa Barbara fire department baseball cap, a nod to their US home in Montecito, California.
Inside the pub, which dates back to the 16th century, Markle, 45, had gluten-free beer-battered haddock and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce, while Harry, 42, ate a chicken, ham and leek pie with seasonal greens, creamy mashed potatoes and gravy.
A pub insider told the Sun the couple was not treated differently by staff or other customers.
“Everyone here gets the royal treatment — it doesn’t matter who you are,” they shared. “We’re lucky to get lots of different people visiting us, and everyone is treated like a local. When they visited, Harry and Meghan just acted like locals.”
The move hasn’t been without a few hiccups, mostly around their kids’ security.
Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, attended a ritzy $35K-a-year prep school for only two days before security concerns about their travel forced them to leave.
Harry and Markle faced more security issues when the former “Suits” star’s personal phone number was reportedly leaked after joining a WhatsApp group for parents of the school.
Paparazzi have scoped out their new school, much to the dismay of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, calling their actions “extraordinarily reckless.”
“There is a world of difference between legitimate media activity and photographers walking the perimeter of a school, stopping to look into the grounds and monitoring children as they go about their day,” a spokesman for the Sussexes told Page Six in a statement earlier this week.
The spokesperson said it’s “concerning” that members of the European paparazzi “appear unwilling to respect the privacy of children at school.”
Last week, Harry confirmed his kids “are happy in school” in an interview with CTV.
“It’s been great to be back on British soil,” the “Spare” author added.
