Meghan Markle found herself in an awkward situation during a visit to a restaurant in Düsseldorf, where a waiter appeared to overlook her presence entirely.
The Duchess of Sussex had changed outfits for the third time that day to join her husband, Prince Harry, in celebrating his 39th birthday.
Meghan, aged 42, donned a striking 268-pound Harbour shirt with red and white pinstripes, a piece from the California-inspired brand, Dew.
She paired it with the same white skinny jeans she wore earlier while attending a sitting volleyball match between Nigeria and Ukraine.
Completing her look were beige suede flat pumps from Mandola Blanic, featuring a charming bow detail.
At the casual gathering at Ungolden Castle, part of Schumacher Brewery, where the couple interacted with the restaurant staff, an amusing incident unfolded.
The 27-year-old waiter, Frank, initially mistook Meghan for an assistant to the group and failed to recognize her as the renowned former actress standing beside Prince Harry.
As they enjoyed Schumacher beer, the same served at the Invictus Games, where they sat together, the atmosphere remained relaxed.
The restaurant’s owner, Tia, shared her excitement in German, expressing how she was thrilled when the royal couple walked in.
Prince Harry received a birthday cake from the restaurant staff in the old town of Düsseldorf, adding to the overall experience of the evening.
Occupying two tables, Harry and his group savored a variety of dishes, including wiener schnitzel, pork knuckles, sausage, roast potatoes, and mashed potatoes.
Interestingly, Meghan focused mainly on the salad and left some of the protein dishes untouched.
It was Prince Harry who settled the bill and generously tipped the staff, considering the tipping customs in Germany.
An expert revealed insights into Meghan Markle‘s intentions before marrying Prince Harry, shedding light on her desire to return to California rather than embracing royal life in the UK.
According to royal author Tom Bower, Meghan never planned to stay in England and always aimed to go back to California, a decision that has proven successful for her.
Discussing Meghan and Harry’s individual brands and their interactions with other members of the royal family, Bower emphasized the transitory nature of their success in the US.
While their ventures like Netflix, Spotify, and books have garnered attention and wealth, Bower questioned the sustainability of their brand in the long run, suggesting that their success may lack lasting substance.
