Prince Michael of Kent appeared to leave his wife at home as he stepped out with a glamorous female friend on Monday night.

The dapper royal, 73, looked sharp in a blue suit, checked shirt and polka dot blue satin tie as he left the fashionable London haunt with his tanned female pal.

His glamorous dinner companion looked dressed for the occasion in thigh high black boots, a short black dress and cosy fur coat.

Prince Michael of Kent, 73, was spotted leaving Scott's restaurant in Mayfair, London, earlier this week

The royal's mystery dining companion was seen climbing into his car to hitch a lift home, but Princess Michael his wife, seemed to be absent from the occasion

The stylish woman complemented her honey-hued skin with a slick of red lipstick and carried her Chanel tote on her arm as she hitched a lift from the nightspot with the Prince. She also appeared to be sporting a large diamond solitaire on her engagement finger.

Prince Michael's wife, Princess Michael of Kent, who has been dubbed 'Princess Pushy' thanks to her forthright opinions, didn't seem to be with them.

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Prince Michael of Kent and is awaiting a response.

The Queen's cousin's outing comes just a month after he and his wife, Princess Michael of Kent, became grandparents for the second time.

Queen Elizabeth's cousin's outing comes just a month after he and his wife, Princess Michael of Kent, became grandparents for the second time

Their son, 34-year-old Lord Frederick Windsor and his actress wife Sophie, 35, welcomed a baby girl called Isabella Alexandra May on January 16 at London's Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.

The Queen was informed about the arrival of the 43rd in line to the throne and the news 'delighted' the royal family, according to an official statement.

Prince and Princess Michael said: 'Lord and Lady Frederick Windsor have this morning announced the birth of their second daughter, Isabella Alexandra May Windsor.

'The baby was safely delivered at 11.59pm on 16th January 2016 at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.'

The formal note continued: 'Her Majesty the Queen has been informed. Prince and Princess Michael of Kent's family and Lady Frederick's family are delighted with the news.'

Sophie, who is best know for starring as 'Big Suze' in the TV sitcom Peep Show, married Lord Frederick in September 2009 at Hampton Court.

The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina in August 2013 in Los Angeles.

Sophie, the sister of Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman, told Hello! Magazine shortly after the birth that the labour was 'long and hard'.

She also revealed that Frederick - like most modern fathers - was present at the birth.

'He was very brave, because it wasn't delicate or pretty and I was horrid to him,' she added.

'He read me a crossword clue in the middle of it and I just wanted to throw a saucepan at his head.'

Speaking about his daughter's name, Lord Frederick said: ‘We liked the idea of an old-fashioned English name and there are a couple of Princess Mauds in my father's family from a hundred years ago.'

Maud was baptised at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, wearing the Royal Family's Honiton lace robe - which was also worn by Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

As 42nd in line to the throne, the event was fairly low-key affair, with no senior members of the royal family attending.

Speaking about his first granddaughter, Prince Michael said: 'We are absolutely thrilled by the arrival of our beautiful first granddaughter, Maud.

'We are both besotted with her. Not only does she have the prettiest blue eyes and adorable tiny feet, but she is also remarkably well-behaved.'
