Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, found herself in an embarrassing situation during a recent visit to a restaurant in Dusseldorf.

Despite her high-profile status, a waiter seemed to overlook her presence entirely.

This incident occurred as Meghan joined her husband, Prince Harry, in celebrating his 39th birthday.

Throughout the day, Meghan underwent three outfit changes, opting for a striking 268-pound Harbour shirt in red and white pinstripes from the California-inspired brand Done.

Paired with white skinny jeans from FRAME and beige suede flat pumps from Mandola Blahnik, she exuded effortless style.

The couple chose the Ungolden Castle, located within the Schumacher Brewery, as the venue for their casual gathering.

It was here that we discovered some intriguing insights while interacting with the restaurant staff.

Frank, a 27-year-old waiter, initially failed to recognize Meghan Markle as the renowned former actress.

Mistaking her for an assistant, he primarily identified Prince Harry as the tall, red-haired gentleman.

The atmosphere remained relaxed as they enjoyed Schumacher beer, which coincidentally was also served at the Invictus Games.

During their meal, Meghan and Harry sat alongside each other, creating an intimate setting.

The restaurant’s owner, Thea Ingermann, expressed her excitement, stating, “I had goosebumps when they walked into the restaurant.

I had watched Harry’s speech on the stage of the Invictus Games and couldn’t believe he was in my restaurant.

Prince Harry was so lovely and gave me a hug.”

Initially, Thea couldn’t discern that the person beside him was the Duchess of Sussex due to her simple attire.

As the dinner drew to a close, the restaurant staff presented Prince Harry with a birthday cake.

Located in the old town of Dusseldorf, the restaurant’s ambiance added to the overall experience.

Harry and his group occupied two tables, indulging in a variety of dishes such as wiener schnitzel, pork knuckles, sausage, and plates of roast and mashed potato.

Interestingly, Meghan seemed more focused on the salad, leaving some of the protein dishes unfinished.

When it came time to settle the bill, Prince Harry took charge, covering the expenses and leaving a substantial tip for the staff.

In Germany, tipping customs vary, with a small beer at an upscale establishment like this costing around 4 euros.

A more budget-friendly bar might charge 2.50 to 3 euros.

Generally, a regular citizen would tip around 26 to 27 euros, while a more conservative tip could be 25 euros.

A particularly generous individual might round up to 30 euros, which is already considered substantial.

Anything exceeding 30 euros would be deemed an unusually generous tip.

In other news, an expert has claimed that Meghan Markle had no intention of staying in the UK or living with the royal family before marrying Prince Harry.

According to royal author Tom Bower, Meghan always desired to return to her home state of California.

Bower stated, “She, Meghan, never intended to stay in England.

She always intended to go back to California, and it served her very well.”

Regarding Meghan and Harry’s individual brands and their conflicts with other royals, Bower expressed skepticism about their long-term success.

He referred to their ventures with Netflix, Spotify, and Harry’s book, acknowledging the initial buzz they created but questioning their sustainability.

Bower remarked, “The question is how long they can sustain it.

All this success is very transitory, especially in America.

It lasts a day or two, but there’s no substance there.”

Despite the brief oversight at the restaurant and ongoing discussions about Meghan and Harry’s future endeavors, the couple continues to make headlines with their unique journey beyond the confines of traditional royal life.
