Story summary

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were recently spotted holding hands during a casual outing at The Falkland Arms pub in Cotswolds, UK. This is their first public appearance together since returning to the UK unexpectedly. During their visit, they dressed casually, with Prince Harry wearing a Santa Barbara fire department baseball cap as a nod to their home in Montecito, California. Inside the historic 16th-century pub, Meghan ordered gluten-free beer-battered haddock and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce, while Harry had a chicken, ham and leek pie with seasonal greens, creamy mashed potatoes, and gravy. The couple was reportedly treated like regular patrons by both staff and customers, blending in seamlessly as locals would. However, their return to the UK has faced some challenges, particularly concerning the security of their children who briefly attended an expensive prep school there.
