Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently returned to the U.S. after a trip to Nigeria and celebrated by going out to dinner with friends at Lucky’s steakhouse in Montecito, California. The couple was joined by their friends Brian and Tracy Robbins, and the outing took place just before their sixth wedding anniversary. Harry and Meghan tied the knot on May 19, 2018 at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in a televised ceremony attended by royal family members, world leaders, and celebrity friends. Meghan wore a stunning white gown by Givenchy while Harry donned his military garb.
Following their trip to Nigeria, where they visited the Lightway Academy in Abuja and Meghan shared a heartwarming story about their daughter Lilibet, Harry and Meghan enjoyed a date night in California. Meghan described Lili as “much tinier” than the students they met in Nigeria, saying that she recently told her mother, “Mama, I see me in you.” In addition to Lilibet, the couple also has a son named Archie. Meghan spoke about her children being “very chatty” and “sweet” while attending a women in leadership panel during the trip.
During their Africa visit, Meghan also wore one of Princess Diana’s necklaces, a gift from Harry, to a reception for military families. The gold necklace featured a diamond cross and was a sentimental piece that Meghan chose to wear during the event. However, amidst the positive coverage of their trip, Harry and Meghan faced some controversy when the California Attorney General declared their Archewell Foundation as “delinquent” due to unpaid registration fees. The organization had not paid these fees since the beginning of May, which could potentially lead to penalties or the suspension of their registration.
Despite the declaration of delinquency, a spokesperson for the Archewell Foundation confirmed that they had diligently investigated the situation and made the necessary payments in a timely manner. The foundation remained fully compliant and in good standing, with all paperwork filed without error or wrongdoing. While a physical check for the fees was not received, a new check was sent to rectify the situation. The foundation’s compliance with the IRS’s processes and procedures reassured that they were operating within legal guidelines and addressing any issues promptly.
Harry and Meghan’s return to the U.S. after their trip to Nigeria was marked by a dinner outing with friends and a celebration of their sixth wedding anniversary. The couple’s visit to Nigeria included heartwarming moments with students at the Lightway Academy and Meghan’s touching story about their daughter Lilibet. Meghan also honored Princess Diana during the trip by wearing one of her necklaces. Despite facing a potential controversy with their foundation’s delinquent status, the couple quickly addressed the issue and confirmed their compliance with legal requirements. Overall, the return to California marked both personal and public moments for Harry and Meghan as they continue to navigate life outside of the royal family.
