A royal run-in.
Meghan Markle bumped into some Sussex fans out in Los Angeles — and stopped to take a selfie with them.
Journalist Jen Su and her friends spotted the duchess, 42, on their way out to eat on Thursday evening.
“Landed in LA and on our way to dinner, we ran into Meghan Markle,” Su captioned the snapshot on Instagram.
“Totally low-key and super friendly, nice conversation. #girlsnightout#meghanmarkle #losangeles,” she added.
Markle donned a simple fitted Polo Ralph Lauren Oversize Fit Striped Linen Shirt (that retails for $168.00) and aviator sunglasses.
The “Suits” alum and her husband, Prince Harry, left the rainy streets of England for the sunny shores of Montecito, California, in 2020.
Markle has been keeping an eye on Hollywood for quite some time, as she signed with talent agency WME in April. Rumors have swirled of a major Tinseltown comeback since penning her name on the dotted line.
“[Prince] Harry and Meghan have been busy with Invictus Games recently, but Meghan is still planning her Hollywood reinvention,” a source told Us Weekly on Thursday. “Meghan has a new team around her, and they’ve been strategizing about what mediums will have the most impact.”
The insider noted that whatever the former actress does in the near future, it will “be rooted in giving back” and “philanthropy.”
Markle has since re-entered Hollywood since coming back to the States, with her $100 million Netflix deal and Spotify contracts.
The couple’s Spotify deal ultimately failed because “consumers” weren’t “happy,” CEO Daniel Ek recently said during an interview with the BBC. The partnership, which ended on June 15, 2023, was worth $20 million.
Harry, 39, and Markle will soon be jetting off to New York next week for World Mental Health Day. They will be attending their Archewell Foundation’s first-ever in-person event “Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age.”
Their visit to the Big Apple is the first one since they were in an alleged “near catastrophic car chase” in May.
The event will showcase parents “who have experienced tragic loss connected to their child’s social media use,” according to People.
Markle and Harry previously attended Gloria Steinem’s Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards earlier this summer in the city. After the event, the pair — alongside Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland — were allegedly chased by paparazzi after leaving the awards show in an SUV.
“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” their spokesperson said at the time.
The NYPD, however, played down the situation. “The NYPD assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.”
At the time, a source told the Post that there were “no collision reports or 911 calls” and that the chase “definitely wasn’t two hours.”
