Despite having two young children on their hands, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry still make time for one another.
They couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant for their recent low-key date night in Ojai, California, with the couple!

The Dutchess, a bakery, café, and restaurant, is the place Meghan, 41, and Harry, 38, decided to eat.
According to sources who spoke exclusively with HELLO! about their date, the couple avoided prying eyes throughout their night out.
Harry and Meghan recently paid a visit, and an onlooker described it to HELLO! as follows: “They came in just the two of them, and it was very impromptu, no reservations, and very low key.
They praised the food, especially the homemade naans that are baked in an imported Tandori oven over the course of two days. Even the chef produces his own ghee. Everyone praised them and expressed how much they enjoyed themselves.

The Dutchess is a busy bakery in the morning and transforms into a Burmese restaurant in the evening with a chef from Burma who has worked there for 15 years. The name comes from the restaurant’s original oven.
The couple’s family home in Montecito is about 20 miles away. And there’s a good chance Meghan’s mom Doria stepped in to watch their kids, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, so they could go out for the evening together.
Doria, who lives in View Park-Windsor Hills in Los Angeles, is very important to Meghan and Harry.
While Doria has plenty of room in Meghan and Harry’s main residence, the couple also has a separate two-bedroom guesthouse that is the ideal place for Doria to stay when she comes to visit.

The involved grandmother reportedly spent close to $5.5k on grandparenting classes to get ready for the arrival of her grandchildren.
Meghan later reflected on Doria’s crucial function and said, “It got me thinking about all the ways my mom supported me, how she took care of me and the house and herself… and how she just juggled so much.”
