Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may be enjoying their “quiet life’ in Canada since stepping down as working members of the royal family—but that doesn’t mean they’re not making moves behind the scenes.
It was recently reported that the Sussexes popped over to Miami for an appearance at a private JP Morgan event, where Harry gave a speech that touched on mental health, as well as their decision to leave the U.K. for North America, at least part-time. Not to diminish the importance of his speech, but I’m just as interested in a dinner that reportedly took place following the speech between the couple and Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez.
Page Six reports the two couples dined at Habitat, a restaurant inside the 1Hotel South Beach, on Thursday night (February 6). “Harry and Meghan got on really well with Jennifer and Alex, and spent some time chatting with them over dinner,” the column’s source said. “J.Lo was overheard inviting the couple and their baby Archie to her and Alex’s house in Miami to spend time with them and their kids.”
While we’ll likely never know exactly what the foursome talked about, here are some topics that I hope came up: J.Lo and Shakira’s Super Bowl halftime performance and the ridiculous sexist backlash; the royals’ trip to a major league baseball game in the U.K. last summer and whether or not they’ll raise Archie as Yankees fan; Lopez’s Oscar snub and that “Criminal” dance routine from Hustlers; a personal invite to the Lopez-Rodriguez nuptials; and possible charitable projects they can all work on together.
Seriously, what a power-couple dinner. It was also rumored that Markle and Harry stayed with the duchess’s good friend Serena Williams at her home in Palm Beach while they were in Florida. So while they Sussexes may have put some distance between themselves and the British royal family, they’re happily spending time with American royalty.
