Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were photographed together on Thursday outside The Falkland Arms, a 16th‑century pub and boutique inn in the Cotswolds‑edge village of Great Tew, Oxfordshire, according to Vanity Fair.
What happened
The couple arrived hand‑in‑hand, as shown in photographs published by The Sun. Meghan wore a turtleneck, dark trousers and white sneakers, while Harry dressed in jeans and a navy‑blue puffer jacket. Both ordered classic British fare: Meghan chose fish and chips – haddock in a gluten‑free beer batter with fries, mashed peas and tartar sauce – and Harry ate chicken, ham and leek pie with vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy.
What the report adds
Vanity Fair notes that the Sussexes moved back to the UK in late August after several years in California, bringing their children Archie (7) and Lilibet (5). The article adds that the family has taken up residence in the Cotswolds, a region popular with celebrities and affluent families. A regular at the pub told The Sun that "everyone here gets the royal treatment – it doesn’t matter who you are," and said the couple behaved like locals.
What was said
The pub regular’s comment was quoted by Vanity Fair: "We’re lucky to get lots of different people visiting us, and everyone is treated like a local. When they visited, Harry and Meghan just acted like locals." The article also references a statement issued by the Sussexes’ spokesperson condemning paparazzi activity near the children’s new school, calling it "extraordinarily reckless".
How it came about
The outing follows the Sussexes’ relocation to the Cotswolds and a recent school change for Archie and Lilibet, prompted by security advisers who flagged the original school’s traffic and distance as risks. Their move and the accompanying security review have been covered in recent Felo News pieces.
