KEY POINT
- Harry and Meghan visited The Falkland Arms in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, on Oct. 1.
- The couple arrived holding hands and were described as behaving like ordinary pub customers.
- Meghan chose gluten free fish and chips, while Harry ordered chicken, ham and leek pie.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a rare public appearance together in the UK when they visited The Falkland Arms, a 16th century pub in the Cotswolds village of Great Tew, Oxfordshire.
The Oct. 1 outing was their first photographed appearance together in Britain since they returned to the country with their children in August. The couple was seen holding hands as they arrived for lunch, keeping the occasion notably informal.
Meghan wore an all black outfit with white sneakers and sunglasses. Harry opted for jeans, a navy blue jacket and a Santa Barbara Fire Department baseball cap, a subtle reference to the California community near their US home.
Their lunch also reflected the relaxed nature of the visit. Meghan reportedly ordered gluten free fish and chips, while Harry chose chicken, ham and leek pie, accompanied by traditional sides.
The visit comes as Harry and Meghan settle into an extended stay in Britain with their children. An insider previously described their priorities as focusing on “settling the kids in and settling themselves in,” characterizing their current routine as ordinary family life.
The Falkland Arms, known for its cozy country-pub atmosphere, is located in Great Tew, an Oxfordshire village in the Cotswolds. A regular quoted in the supplied material said the couple behaved like local customers during their visit and were treated in the same way as other patrons.
Meghan’s casual styling also drew attention, with one fashion assessment suggesting her black sweater may have been the Bleusalt The Classic Crew. That identification was presented as an estimate rather than a confirmed detail.
