DOTING Prince Harry took girlfriend Meghan Markle by the hand this week as they walked down a busy London street after a dinner date.
It is the first time the couple have been seen hand-in-hand in public — another sign that their blossoming romance is serious, the Sun reports.
And pals say actress Meghan has “virtually moved in” to Harry’s cottage at Kensington Palace with the couple “inseparable” for the past five weeks.
One friend said: “Meg is not filming in Toronto at the moment so she is free to spend all her time with Harry.”
On Wednesday night the couple went for dinner at Soho House — the private members’ club in West London where Suits star Meghan and Harry met through a mutual friend last year.
An onlooker said: “They tried to keep as low-key as possible and were sitting in a small snug area of the restaurant.
“But it wasn’t a private area and they were happy to be seen. Gary Lineker and a whole host of the Made In Chelsea cast were also there, but they only had eyes for each other.”
The Sun exclusively revealed the first picture of the couple together on a theatre date six weeks ago.
Apart from a handful of engagements abroad American divorcee Meghan, 35, and Harry have been staying together since the end of 2016.
The friend added: “They’ve taken things to the next level. They’re practically living together. She cooks for him, he pops out to the gym and they’re just enjoying hanging out.
“Meg has always enjoyed spending time in London, but she’s really putting down roots.”
Harry has kept up his royal engagements while Meghan has been staying with him.
Yesterday he visited the London Ambulance Service HQ to promote mental health awareness.
