Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their return to the United States following their trip to Nigeria by going out to dinner with friends.
On Saturday, May 18, Tatler photographed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at Lucky’s restaurant in Montecito, California, with their friends Brian and Tracy Robbins. The night out occurred one day before the couple celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary.

Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, married on May 19, 2018 in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Royal family members, international leaders, and the couple’s celebrity acquaintances attended the televised ceremony, where Meghan wore a magnificent Givenchy white long-sleeved gown and Harry dressed in military costume.
The twosome had previously met Brian, the CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon, and his wife at the Bob Marley: One Love premiere in Jamaica in January.
Nearly two weeks after embarking on a three-day trip to Nigeria, Harry and Meghan enjoyed a California date night. On May 10, they began their trip to honor the tenth anniversary of Harry’s Invictus Games by touring and meeting with pupils from the Lightway Academy in Abuja.
During the school visit, Meghan told a beautiful anecdote about her and Harry’s two-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet. “Our daughter, Lili, is much, much smaller than you guys. She’s about to turn three,” she told the kids. “A few weeks ago, she would stare at me and only see the reflection in my eyes. She responded, ‘Mama, I see me in you.'” (They also have a five-year-old son, Prince Archie.)
Meghan joked that her children are “very chatty [and] sweet” while speaking at a women’s leadership session the next day.
In addition to doing her own hair and makeup on the Africa trip, Meghan wore one of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana’s jewels to a military family reception on May 11. According to People, the gold necklace, which featured a diamond cross, was Harry’s “recent gift” to Meghan.
While still high on the trip, the couple made headlines for a potential controversy when California Attorney General Rob Bonta declared Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation “delinquent,” claiming that the couple had not paid registration fees for their organization since early May.
“An organization that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds,” the statement said. The Registry may also impose penalties on the organization and suspend or revoke its registration.
Us Weekly found that the foundation failed to file its documentation on time, issued a physical check for the fees but did not receive it, and subsequently sent a replacement check.
In a statement issued on May 14, an Archewell Foundation spokeswoman stated, “We have diligently investigated the situation and can confirm the Archewell Foundation remains fully compliant and in good standing.” We made the due payments on time, adhering to the IRS’s processes and procedures. Furthermore, the Foundation has filed all relevant documents without any errors or malfeasance.”
