Living the high life! Prince Harry was spotted enjoying a laid-back meal with
friends at Hollywood hotspot Cecconi’s this week, while wife Meghan Markle
stayed at home in Santa Barbara.
According to an eagle-eyed royal enthusiast, the Duke was joined by two
friends inside the chic California hotspot,
situated on the corner of Melrose Avenue and Robertson Boulevard. Hello! understands
the group sat at the back and kept to themselves, enjoying the modern-day
classic Italian restaurant which serves dishes including kale pesto pasta, and
burrata pizzas.
The father-of-two was described as “very chill” and
“polite,” as he sat deep in discussion with the group. The
restaurant, part of the Soho House group, is popular with Los Angeles’ best and
brightest, with the likes of David Beckham, Drake and Rita Ora all spotted
there.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been embracing parenthood in
the United States after permanently relocating to the star-studded area of
Montecito in Santa Barbara in July 2020.
The 37-year-old has only returned once to the UK since then, returning
for the unveiling of the Diana, Princess of Wales memorial statue with his
brother Prince William.
It is understood he is keen to bring his children, Archie, two, and
eight-month-old Lilibet, to visit from the US, but he and his family believe it
“is too dangerous,” a legal representative for the Duke previously
said.

The couple are currently living in California
The visit to Los Angeles comes as Harry prepares for a trip to the Netherlands for the
2022 Invictus Games, which were postponed from 2021.
Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014, an
international adaptive multi-sport event in which wounded, injured or sick
armed services personnel and veterans participate. It celebrates the power of
sport in recovery and how it can help, physically or psychologically, those
suffering from injuries or illness.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their first public
appearance together at the Toronto games.
