Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been spotted attending the vow renewal of friends Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi – where they were seen mingling with celebs including Kris Jenner.
In a bizarre royal-Hollywood crossover, it was the first time the Sussexes have been seen since Harry's bombshell memoir Spare was released.
The husband and wife duo were seen in clips from their neighbours Ellen and Portia's surprise ceremony which was held at the couple's sprawling $70million (£57m) mansion in Montecito, California.
Ellen and Portia first tied the knot back in 2008 and decided to celebrate their love again after moving into a new mansion, located right near Harry and Meghan's $14million (£11.4m) home.
To celebrate turning 50 last week, Portia decided to renew her vows with talk show star Ellen – with Kardashian momager Kris officiating the entire thing, much to Ellen's surprise.

Their recent outing comes after claims that the royal titles of Harry and Meghan's children Archie and Lilibet "need to be earned".
A royal source told Vanity Fair: "The matter of titles is still up in the air.
Kris Jenner officiated the entire star-studded event (TheEllenShow/Youtube)"The feeling is that the titles need to be earned. The royals need to know that they can trust Harry and Meghan not to keep damaging the reputation of the family."
Meanwhile, Charles reportedly wants Harry and Meghan to attend his coronation later this year - and he could offer them several incentives to come, according to a source.
A source told Mail On Sunday that Harry could be offered a "high-profile seating position" as well as an assurance he can keep his titles as an "inducement" to attend.

They said: "Harry's camp made clear that the idea that he would just attend the Coronation and behave himself but then be stripped of his titles was a total non-starter.

"He resents being lumped together with Andrew in the public mind as the two 'problem Princes' when he considers the circumstances to be totally different."
