While Meghan’s outfit was not visible through the car window, Harry was seen in a grey suit.
Meghan appeared to be wearing her diamond engagement ring and wedding ring, and kept her long brown locks pulled back in a ponytail.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were all smiles as they attended their longtime friend Tyler Perry’s star-studded birthday party on Saturday night.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent hours partying with their close friend Tyler, who famously let the couple stay at his Santa Barbara home when they first moved to the United States, as well as acclaimed talk show hosts Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, singer Alicia Keys and actor Aaron O’Connell.
Also at the party were Paramount CEO Brian Robbins and his wife, Tracy, who are close friends and neighbors of Meghan and Harry, and French actor Vincent Cassel’s wife, Tina Kunakey.
A worker at a nearby lighting company, apparently hired to help decorate for the party, said as he left that there was “a lot of music, dancing and singing.”
“There were lots of speeches and food too. Everyone had a great time. It was a good party. There were lots of famous people, but I can’t say any more,” he said.
It was also reported that “a male person who sounded like Harry was heard giving a speech during the celebration.”
Harry and Meghan arrived around 7 p.m. and stayed for about four hours before leaving a little after 11 p.m.
They were driven by a professional driver and accompanied by a security team, as well as an unknown friend.
The party, which was held at an 8,379-square-foot, six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home in Montecito, took place a day after Tyler’s 55th birthday and a day before the Duke of Sussex’s 40th birthday.

In 2020, after Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping down from royal duties and moving to California, the couple, along with their then-one-year-old son Archie, spent a few months living at Tyler’s Beverly Hills mansion.
During an interview with The cut In 2022, Meghan opened up about her bond with Tyler, explaining that he reached out to her after she first married Harry in 2018.
He added that he sent her a “note” saying he “understood” the intense pressure she was under and encouraged her to ask for his help if she ever needed it.
She soon began to openly talk to him about her struggles and the two became close, despite never meeting in person.
“Sometimes you get to tell your life story to a stranger on a plane instead of some of the people closest to you,” she told The Cut.
According to the outlet, Tyler’s offering of his home to the couple “became, in many ways, the reason Meghan and Harry began their new life in Southern California.”
