Mom-of-two Meghan wore a tan blouse and trousers with a Max Mara camel coat to keep herself warm in the New York chill; Harry kept it simple in a black suit and blue tie.

Harry and Meghan’s visit is their first public appearance together since the birth of their daughter Lilibet in June.

On Friday they pair left their mark on a famed Harlem restaurant after they pledged to donate $25,000 to its COVID relief fund.

The couple stopped by Melba's restaurant after visiting a school in the area, with Harry having his first taste of the beloved soul food dish chicken and waffles.

Taking to social media after Harry and Meghan's visit, owner Melba Wilson tweeted: "It was such an honor to officially welcome Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Melba's!" 

She added: "I am so thankful for their commitment to donate $25k and hope to welcome them back soon. Thank you for dining with us! #sweetpotatopiehugs."

The fund, which was set up by the restaurant, is aiming to raise $250,000 in order to provide financial relief to the dozens of hourly workers impacted at Melba's during the pandemic.

According to a fellow diner, Harry and Meghan were served Southern fried chicken and eggnog waffles, spring rolls, catfish, collard greens and yams, reports Page Six.
