According to information from Meghan's side, she watched the film with two kids and some female friends, but notably, Prince Harry was absent from the gathering.
The Duchess of Sussex was accompanied by a friend, Portia de Rossi, and a few other close friends, while her husband chose to stay back at their Montecito home. The group enjoyed the movie at a Santa Barbara theater and continued the fun at the luxurious El Encanto hotel.
Despite claims that Meghan's children, Archie and Lilibet, were taken to the movie by Meghan's mother with Ellen's family, ticket sellers at the theater revealed that the film was two hours long and not suitable for very young children.
Furthermore, Megan's representation clarified that Meghan and Ellen's meet-up was merely coincidental, and they did not celebrate together as suggested. Ellen and Portia were at the movie theater for their own night out, sitting separately from Meghan's group.
The Sussexes' celebration continued as they dined at the popular Italian restaurant, Tre Lune, in Montecito, accompanied by some of their close friends, including Meghan's pal Heather Dirac and her husband, Matt Cohen.
The couple looked happy and cheerful as they left the restaurant, with Meghan donning an elegant strapless black and white striped maxi dress and Prince Harry sporting a pale blue button-up shirt paired with white linen trousers.
