Meghan Markle appeared in great spirits as she stepped out in Montecito with Father Of The Bride actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley on Sunday.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was pictured leaving the trendy Italian restaurant Tre Lune, a favourite among A-listers including Kourtney Kardashian, Ellen DeGeneres and Sofia Richie.

Mother-of-two Meghan was spotted smiling and chatting with Kimberly, wife of American country singer Brad Paisley, near her $14.5million Montecito mansion. It’s unclear how exactly the former actress and Kimberly know one another.

Looking typically chic, Prince Harry’s wife opted for a laidback look with a £245 white ‘Mika’ shirt from Los Angeles brand Anine Bing tucked into a pair of relaxed light-blue denim mom jeans, and even pulled her hair back with a claw clip. 

Her outing comes after US President Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday. Prince Harry was known to enjoy a friendly relationship with President Biden’s wife Dr Jill Biden over the last decade.

Beaming Meghan was seen sharing a thumbs-up with Kimberly as she got into the waiting car after leaving Tre Lune, which unlike some of the more exclusive celebrity hotspots, is open to all members of the public.

Actress Kimberly has been married to country singer Brad Paisley for more than 20 years and the couple share two children.  

Prince Harry took part in a Stand Up for Heroes event in 2020, which also saw a performance from Brad Paisley – where the pair perhaps crossed paths. 

Known for her impressive jewellery collection, Meghan wore over £53,200 of glittering accessories on Sunday, even without including the price of the huge £271,000 engagement ring on her finger. 

The Duchess appeared to be wearing her Lorraine Schwartz Against Evil Eye Diamond Pave Bracelet, which is thought to ‘protect from the envy of others’.

 The bracelet, costing an eye-watering £14,902.41, is crafted from 18-carat white gold, with a total of 23.66 carats blue topaz, 1.86 carats white diamonds and .06 carats black diamonds.

Amongst her other accessories included a reworn £12,800 Cartier necklace, her favourite £17,800 gold Cartier Tank watch and £5,000 Cartier Love Bracelet.

Her Cartier ‘Juste Un Clou’ Collar in Yellow Gold & Diamonds seems to be making a frequent appearance in her wardrobe, as she was seen wearing it at a Vancouver Canucks ice hockey game over the winter with Prince Harry.
