Meghan and Harry's choice for Texas date night has sweet meaning for the couple
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry dined out at a restaurant with a very special hidden meaning.
The pair were seen enjoying a lavish evening out at Soho House Austin - an exclusive members-only club - ahead of Meghan's appearance on a panel alongside actress Brooke Shields and author Katie Couric on the opening day of SXSW festival in Texas. The venue holds significance for the pair as it echoes their first date in July 2016.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously met for their first date at the London branch of Soho House and returned for a second date at the venue the next day. They were said to have looked "happy and in great spirits" at the Austin based premises of the elite club as they enjoyed their date night.

Harry and Meghan scheduled their first ever date at Soho House in London after initially getting talking on social media. Harry wrote about their debut encounter in his memoir Spare describing the moment he first saw Meghan and how he felt.
He said: "Red-cheeked, puffing, sweaty, half-an-hour late, I ran into the restaurant, into the quiet room, and found her sitting at a small area on a low velvet sofa in front of a low coffee table. I'd seen so many photos of her from fashion shoots and TV sets, all glam and glossy, but there she was, in the flesh, no frills, no filter... and even more beautiful."

Almost two years on from the first date they got married on May 19 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry are in the process of hiring a UK-based PR expert as they get ready to launch a brand new product, according to reports. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have worked to become financially independent since stepping down from the Royal Family and have started to make a name for themselves in Hollywood. The couple have an exclusive deal with Netflix, which is said to be worth more than $100million (£80million), and Meghan has relaunched her podcasting career
It's now been reported she's set to unveil a new venture which she has spent the last few months working on. To help with the launch, Meghan and Harry are said to have been meeting with PR executives to support their communications team. Meghan's new project is believed to be a lifestyle and wellness brand. Aides told The Telegraph the new project was scheduled for release last autumn, but the launch was delayed after it evolved and "took different shapes". They also insisted Meghan's new venture won't be a copy of Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle brand Goop. Instead, the sources told the publication Meghan's new project is "genuine to who she is".
