Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could have easily used a secret "celebrity door," but apparently the couple wanted to be seen.
Los Angeles – When it became known that King Charles III.
(74) Prince Harry (38) and Meghan Markle (41) asked to give up Frogmore Cottage, the two already knew that they should return the keys.
Nonetheless, just hours after the press outcry, they were demonstratively in good spirits in pictures they showed upon arriving in West Hollywood at the hip San Vicente club.

The Sussexes take it sporty, that's what everyone thought.
If, as
The Sun
has reported, you have to vacate your UK residence and still go to dinner at the exclusive private club San Vicente Bungalows beaming, you don't mind a royal father's dig at his son.
The couple was all the more sure of attention when they appeared together again for the first time after an unusually long absence from the otherwise extremely media-savvy mother of two.

But now a source at

reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could easily have used a secret "celebrity door" when they arrived for dinner.
Nobody would have noticed her.
Instead, the source said, the couple was happy to pull up to the front entrance of the San Vicente Bungalows, a chic West Hollywood hotspot owned by hotelier Jeff Klein, where they were photographed by waiting photographers.
It may be that she is not interested, but it can also be a clever press coup, which Meghan in particular can be trusted due to her history.
Apparently, a four-hour drive for dinner at the private club is no obstacle

In addition, it is not exactly a walk from the Sussexes' home villa in Montecito to the said hotspot.
It must have taken the couple two hours there and two hours back.
A guest who visited the club that same evening promptly commented: "I think it was definitely a statement that came on the evening of the Frogmore news".
It was also a visual statement, as Meghan's wardrobe didn't exactly look random.

"I know San Vicente has a back entrance for celebrities so nobody has to see coming and going. They really care about privacy," said one member of the club, who appears to pay an annual fee of $4,200 to feel part of the elite circle of celebrities.
The source did not want to or could not confirm whether the Sussexes also pay the contribution.
Much bigger stars would use the back door, the insider reveals.
A few days later, Meghan – this time traveling with an Archewell employee – was on her way to vegan Gracias Madre and delighted the photographers.
