Prince Harry popped out for lunch in Los Angeles following his father King Charles' visit to the United States.
On May 4, the Duke of Sussex, 41, stepped out for lunch with friends at Nobu in Los Angeles. The King's younger son dressed casually for the daytime outing, sporting a green khaki shirt with dark pants.
Prince Harry slipped on sunglasses outside of the hotspot in Los Angeles, which is about an hour and a half from Montecito, where he lives with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

Harry's lunch outing fell a few days after his father traveled to the U.S. for a highly anticipated state visit.
King Charles, 77, and Queen Camilla, 78, were in America from Monday, April 27, to Thursday, April 30, making the trip to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary with stops in Washington, D.C., New York City and Virginia. From there, the King continued his travels in North America with a solo trip to Bermuda from Friday, May 1, to Saturday, May 2.
PEOPLE exclusively revealed that the King and Prince Harry would not meet up during the monarch's time stateside, with any suggestion unrealistic given the tightly choreographed nature of the trip.

"When you’re talking about a state visit, every minute is accounted for — especially when it’s the King traveling as the invited guest of a head of state," a source told PEOPLE.
The insider added that Harry would not be expected to push for a meeting under those circumstances, noting that there was an understanding on both sides.
"Harry knows how things are and wouldn’t ask for that either under these circumstances," the source said.

A rift has split the British royal family in recent years, with tensions revealed when Prince Harry and Meghan, 44, stepped back from their royal roles in the U.K. in 2020 to carve an independent life.
The Duke of Sussex and King Charles most recently reunited in London in September 2025 during Harry's trip to the U.K. for charitable engagements. It marked their first in-person meeting in 19 months. The father and son last saw each other in February 2024 when Harry visited his dad after Buckingham Palace announced that the King was undergoing treatment for cancer, which continues today.

Prince Harry and Meghan have dedicated their time to charitable and commercial work since they stepped back from their royal roles in 2020, and PEOPLE explores how the couple is rewriting the royal rules in an exclusive cover story.
For some inside palace circles, the overlap between profit and philanthropy remains deeply contentious.
“They are pushing the envelope and making it much more difficult for reconciliation to happen,” says Sally Bedell Smith, author of the Royals Extra Substack.
However, a source close to Harry pushed back, "This idea that he’s going against the wishes of the Queen [Elizabeth] by being half in, half out is nonsense. None of this is being done in the name of the institution."
