Meghan Markle has been spotted at a California farmer’s market without Prince Harry – and it has been reported that she was breaking a key rule.
The Duchess of Sussex was spotted with her beagle and security detail at the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market on Friday, shortly after her Netflix documentary was snubbed in the Emmy nominations.
But the farmers market has an explicit ban on dogs, it has been reported. The Daily Mail shared a picture from the market, which reads: “NO DOGS ALLOWED with the exception of recognized service animals… we thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”
The Daily Express US called the market to verify if the rule was in place at the time of Meghan’s visit, but did not receive an immediate response.
On the market’s Yelp page, it is also reported by one user that no dogs are allowed at the market. “There are signs at every entrance,” they add.
During her trip to the market, Meghan was spotted checking out flowers while wearing a collared shirt and a maxi dress.
In one picture exclusively published by the Mail, the Duchess appears to spot the paparazzi as she buys a bunch of pink flowers.
She also reportedly stopped at one farmers’ market stall to sample its honey.
Her pooch was looked after by her burly security guard while she browsed the tents full of local produce.
Meghan was spotted on another fun day out last week as she hugged her daughter Lilibet while they attended a Fourth of July parade near their $14.7m Montecito home.
