Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s romance is like something out of a fairytale, so when details about their life away from cameras and official royal appearances become available we jump at the opportunity to learn more about the loved-up duo.

This time around we’ve been lucky enough to gain a glimpse into their first Valentine’s Day as an engaged couple. As the occasion fell in the middle of the week this year, the two choose to push their date night to the end of the week.

Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, caught an evening performance of Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London on Friday, February 16.

The musical famously mocks Prince Harry’s ancestor, King George III — but the prince wasn’t phased by the royal jabs, according to an audience member who told the Daily Mail, “They seemed to love it and were applauding enthusiastically.”

Leslie Garcia Bowman — who plays a general in the West End production — first revealed that the newly-engaged pair had attended the show, tweeting that it “was an honor to have Prince Harry and Meghan” in the audience.

Although the political-charged musical has been running since 2015, it’s still quite difficult to snag tickets with prices ranging anywhere from A$410 to A$3,200 — that’s quite the date night!

Harry and Meghan will tie the knot on Saturday, May 19 at Windsor Castle.

As Kensington Palace recently announced, following the ceremony, the newlyweds will undertake a tour of the town as their first trip as man and wife to greet well-wishers from all over the world who have come to see them.

It will no doubt remind fans of similar scenes that played out during Prince William and Duchess Catherine’s 2011 wedding.

After the carriage procession, guests will gather inside St. George’s Hall for a day-time reception.

In the evening, Harry and Meghan will mingle with their VIP guests at a private reception hosted by the groom’s father Prince Charles.

According to sources speaking to the Daily Mail, it’s believed the royal wedding will be divided into two segments — an informal dinner for 350 and a reception drinks.

While there’s no word yet on the guest list, the palace promised they’ll share more details in due course.

We can barley wait!
