Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were spotted enjoying a very special date night as the Duchess of Sussex celebrated her 42nd birthday.
The couple dined at the Tre Lune restaurant in their exclusive Montecito neighbourhood on Wednesday night. They were joined by a group of pals, including Meghan's long-time friends Heather Dorak and her husband Matt Cohen.
The eatery is popular among celebrities, with rock star Travis Barker seen dining there earlier that night. Travis' wife Kourtney Kardashian is also a regular at the restaurant, as well as Justin and Hailey Bieber.
Tre Lune is "dedicated to consistently delivering authentic Italian cuisine", according to its website. The restaurant has a very mixed menu, which includes a mixed seafood risotto for $48 (£38).

During their dinner, Meghan and Harry seemed to be in good spirits as they were pictured smiling and laughing. The Duchess of Sussex looked glamorous wearing a strapless black and white dress which she paired with strappy black sandals.

Meghan's birthday comes just days after she and Harry put on a united front amid nasty rumours that their marriage is on the rocks. The couple appeared together in a video as they called young innovators and campaigners to congratulate them on being awarded a share of a multimillion-dollar prize from the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund.
Meghan will no doubt be spending her birthday with her family and taking part in a yearly tradition which was inspired by her mother Doria Ragland. On her lifestyle blog The Tig, Meghan once said that she uses her birthday to make resolutions for herself - and what she hopes to see in the year ahead.
Writing in 2016, she said: "My mom has always said that birthdays are your own personal New Year. Your own chance to make resolutions just for yourself and what you prognosticate for your year ahead."
