Meghan Markle looked radiant and stylish as she was seen grabbing a bite to eat with actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley at the Italian celebrity hotspot Tre Lune in California

Meghan Markle was all smiles as she was seen leaving the swanky Italian eatery Tre Lune in California with her friend Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

The Duchess of Sussex looked to be in good spirits on the sunny afternoon as she grabbed a bite to eat with the former Father Of The Bride actress. The mother of two looked stylish and chic during the summertime outing as she sported a £245 ($316) white Mika shirt from the Los Angeles brand Anine Bing tucked into a pair of flattering light wash high-waisted jeans.

Meghan accessorised the look with a pair of black Ray-Ban aviator-style shades and black-and-nude ballet flats. The former Suits actress completed the trendy outfit with an expensive £12,800 ($16,500) Cartier gold necklace and her brunette locks pulled back in a sleek low bun.

Meghan was also seen carrying around her custom-embroidered Dior bag with “DSSOS”, short for the Duchess of Sussex. The handbag was a touching nod to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, for whom the Christian Dior Lady D-Lite bag was named after.

Meghan’s friend Kimberly, who is married to chart-topping country star Brad Paisley, joined Meghan for the outing sporting a beautiful bright blue flowing dress. The 52-year-old actress paired the elegant look with a colorful floral fanny pack hanging across her chest and wore her red shoulder-length locks down.

This marks the first time that Meghan and Kimberly have been photographed in public together but were likely to have plenty to chat about as they both graduated from the same college and have a shared passion for philanthropy. Although they were in different graduating classes both Hollywood stars attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

The two are also known for their charity efforts as Megan and her husband Prince Harry launched their non-profit organization Archewell Foundation which they founded in 2020 to promote their many philanthropic efforts which they’ve raised $1.2million (£960,000) in donations within the last year.

As for Kimberly, she and her musician husband Brad founded their own free grocery store called The Store in 2020. The Nashville-based store was created to help the fight against hunger in middle Tennessee. The Store provides families fighting poverty with free groceries and gives them a chance to hand-pick which ingredients they want to take home. Within just one year of launching the pair were able to provide over 1.3 million meals to families.

Meghan’s carefree outing comes amid claims she and Harry have stopped looking for a UK home amid growing security concerns. Prince Harry took legal action against the Home Office in 2020 over a decision to downgrade his security while in the UK. A source told the Express: “Harry really does want to spend more time in the UK but doesn’t feel comfortable doing that until the security issues have been ironed out.”
