Meghan Markle, 42, and Father of the Bride actor Kimberly Williams-Paisley were seen leaving a trendy Italian restaurant in Montecito, California on July 21.

As a hotspot for A-list celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and Kim Kardashian, Tre Lune is near the $14.5 million home where Meghan lives with Prince Harry and their young kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Williams-Paisley, 52, also lives in the area with her husband, country music star Brad Paisley, and their two children.

Meghan Markle and Williams-Paisley – both Northwestern University alumni – were wearing standout summer styles with the Nashville star keeping it simple with a floor-length breezy blue dress and white sneakers.

Dressed like Di

Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex was flaunting her riches with a $316 white ‘Mika’ shirt from designer Anine Bing, a pair of casual jeans and almost $70,000 of sparkling jewellery, not including the $350,000 engagement ring she wears on her finger.

Additionally, Meghan wore Ray-Ban aviator shades and clutched her Dior Lady D-Lite handbag, which according to Vogue was a style that Princess Diana loved so much the name was changed from Chouchou to Lady Dior.

Once the images of Meghan leaving lunch were published on social media, some netizens took the opportunity to compare Prince Harry’s wife with his iconic mom, Princess Di.

One netizen tweets, “Dressed like Diana – definitely off the scale!” while another writes, “regal, elegant, effortless. reminding us of Lady Diana.”

Praising Meghan’s effortless style, a third says “she looks like wealth. What a gorgeous girl Meghan Markle is.”

Another user writes “Mummy” in a post that shows Meghan and her late mother-in-law in side-by-side images.

‘Pathetic’

Meghan rocked the casual yet opulent look, but many cyber fans were unimpressed by the timing of her outing with Williams-Paisley, friends who have not been captured together in images until now.

“How pathetic is this woman that she releases a picture of herself the day of Harry’s nephew’s birthday? What a desperate attempt for attention by trying to push an 11-year-old out of the spotlight,” tweets one user, suggesting the Suits actor staged paparazzi images to upstage her nephew, Prince George on his birthday.

A second user writes “Meghan is so insecure over [an] [11-year-old’s] birthday photo that she [does] yet another car park pap (paparazzi) shot. She is beyond a joke.”

A third says “It’s actually sad now,” while another adds, “Paps on speed dial this [woman] is so predictable.”

Meghan’s outing was the day before the little prince’s birthday, and despite accusations, there is no confirmation that the Duchess of Sussex tried to draw attention from her nephew.

Prince George turns 11

On July 22, the palace shared an adorable photo of Prince George and captioned it, “Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!”

Fans jumped into the comments section, wishing the “handsome” young prince a very happy day.

“Oh my word, this handsome prince. Lock up your daughters!” writes one fan, while a second says, “Oh boy…Prince George is growing up to be such a handsome young man Happy Birthday Prince George.”

A third shares, “Aww what a handsome young lad! Happy 11th Birthday Prince George, wishing you long life and prosperity!”

“Your Highness May God bless you with many more,” adds another.
