Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were recently spotted on a sushi date, just one week after Prince Harry rushed back to California from King Charles’ coronation to attend their son Archie’s fourth birthday.

The couple was seen leaving the Michelin star restaurant Sushi Bar Montecito in Santa Barbara, and as always, the ever-smiling Meghan seemed delighted.

It’s no surprise that the paparazzi were quick to capture the moment, as the restaurant requires reservations, making it a perfect opportunity for a candid shot.

However, according to sources, their date night took a turn for the worse.

Initially blending in with the crowd, tensions reportedly arose between the couple, adding to the list of disagreements they have had recently.

After their meal at the one Michelin star restaurant, Meghan and Harry left in an SUV waiting for them outside the Montecito Inn on Coast Village Road, around 7pm.

Sushi Bar Montecito, helmed by Chef Philip Franklin Lee, offers an omakasee dining experience with 17 courses of whimsical and creative dishes.

The intimate restaurant only accommodates 10 guests, who sit right in front of the chef’s cutting boards.

Patrons can expect unexpected twists on traditional sushi, as well as other delicacies from both land and sea.

The price for this exclusive experience is $165 per person, with a $25 deposit required to secure a booking.

Last week, Meghan Markle made headlines when she was spotted hiking near their $14 million home without Prince Harry, shortly after missing King Charles’ coronation.

Speculation about her pregnancy has been circulating online, but based on their dinner choices, it seems unlikely.

While it is unclear if they actually ate anything inside the restaurant, the fact that sushi was likely ordered contradicts the notion that Meghan is expecting.

Pregnant women often avoid raw fish due to potential risks to the developing fetus.

The photographs of Meghan hiking last week sparked further speculation, as some noticed a slight protrusion under her shirt near her stomach.

This led some to believe that she might be pregnant.

However, with her recent visit to a sushi restaurant, which is typically avoided by pregnant women, it appears that these rumors can finally be put to rest.

Despite the controversy surrounding their recent activities, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to make headlines.

From attending their son’s birthday to enjoying a night out, their every move is closely followed.

As the couple navigates their new life away from the royal family, the world eagerly awaits their next steps and any news that may come their way.
