Prince Harry's new girl was the epitome of a lady who lunches as she swept into the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto with a girlfriend on Friday.
Meghan Markle, 35, arrived at the five-star hotel in the upmarket Yorkville neighborhood of the Canadian city around 12.30pm.
The Suits actress was dressed in double-denim with a long, tan coat and carrying a $3,500 Saint Laurent handbag. She was perfectly made up and her hair blow-dried as she hid behind sunglasses.
She spent around an hour inside before emerging with a group. She smiled broadly as she hugged friends while waiting for her car to be return by the valet.
News of Meghan's reported secret relationship with the British Royal was revealed this weekend after Harry, 32, was said to have spent time at her home in Toronto and attended a Halloween party with her at Soho House's branch in the city.

The LA-born actress has spent the past five years largely living in Toronto, where Suits is filmed, and immersing herself in elite social circles of the city.
The couple are believed to have carried on their trans-Atlantic love affair for several months after meeting at a charity event.
The Prince and the actress are said to have partied at a private members' club
Harry is reportedly 'besotted' with the actress after it emerged he bombarded her with text messages for a date while she may still have been with her ex-boyfriend of two years, Canadian chef Cory Vitiello.
At his home in Brantford, Ontario, Vitiello's brother refused to comment on the new love of his brother's ex.Â
It's believed that Markle has already visited Balmoral, the Queen's beloved Scottish estate.Â
The actress was invited to join senior members of the Royal Family on a shoot to celebrate Harry's 32nd birthday on September 15, Us Weekly reported.
Royal insiders claim Markle and Harry were hosted by Prince Charles at Birkhall, his hunting lodge in the grounds of Balmoral. This is reportedly when Charles and Markle were introduced.

Get Meghan's style with a chic tote from Saint Laurent
Meghan Markle is quickly becoming one of the most googled women now that she is reportedly dating Prince Harry. The actress was recently spotted in Toronto wearing a chic long camel coat over her dark denim jeans and chambray shirt. We love that she styled her look with classic dark sunnies and a seriously bold blue Saint Laurent Sac de Jour handbag.
The Sac de Jour has been an "it" bag for several years now, in part for the numerous sizes (nano to large) and the various colors and leathers each season.
Snag the smaller size (her medium size is now sold out) for $2750 via Neiman Marcus or for a bit of a more approachable price head to our edit below with similar alternatives.
The Strathberry is uber cool if you feel like splurging.
News of Meghan's secret relationship with the British Royal was revealed this weekend after Harry, 32, reportedly spent time at her home in Toronto and they attended a Halloween party together at Soho House
Despite being out and about on Friday, she has yet to reveal any information about her relationship with Prince Harry
She posted a romantic picture of two bananas 'spooning' after news of their relationship broke.
But in her first published interview since then she told the Toronto Sun: 'My cup runneth over and I'm the luckiest girl in the world'.Â
One royal source suggested the pair are in a relationship but it is still considered 'very early days'.
The prince, 32, also follows the actress on the picture sharing website Instagram using a pseudonym.
Intriguingly, Harry, who publicly professes to hate social media, is one of her million followers and she also follows him.
The revelation is telling because the prince has a private account and only 'follows' a few close friends and charities, suggesting the pair know each other fairly well.Â
The 35-year-old actress, who is best known for her role as Rachel Zane in US legal drama Suits, is believed to have charmed the royal when he visited Toronto in May.Â
The mutual friend believed to have introduced Harry and Meghan is US-based fashion designed Misha Nonoo.
 Fashion range: As well as acting, Markle has a fashion range which retails for less than Canadian $100 - $75 or $60
Risque: The actress strips down to her underwear in a steamy scene from US drama Suits - she says her mother taught her: 'Never give the milk away for free'
Closely guarded: Toronto Police are now keeping watch on the actress's Canadian home
Misha, married to but reportedly separated from Old Etonian Alexander Gilkes, is one of Meghan's closest pals and confidantes and holidayed with her in the summer.
Alexander was a guest at William and Kate's wedding and his younger brother, club owner Charlie, is a former flame of Pippa Middleton.
Princess Eugenie worked for his online auction company in New York and may also have been involved the introductions - meaning she could have fixed Harry up with both his current and previous girlfriends.Â
Markle remains close to her mother, Doria Ragland, who divorced her father Thomas, 72, when she was six, and is often seen with her on the red carpet.
Thomas, a lighting director, is currently thought to be in Mexico and recently filed for bankruptcy after racking up debts of $30,000 (£24,000).
Doria, who also filed for bankruptcy herself in 2002 over a $52,750 credit-card bill, appears to be the one of the defining influences in her daughter’s life.
Writing in an article about her background, Markle addressed being mixed race, saying: 'While I could say Pennsylvania and Ohio, and continue this proverbial two-step, I instead give them what they're after: "My dad is Caucasian and my mom is African-American."'
Meghan wrote of her childhood and her mum and dad's mixed-race marriage on her website: 'I like to think he was drawn to her sweet eyes and her Afro, plus their shared love of antiques,' she writes. 'Whatever it was, they married and had me.
Markle also has an older half-sister, Samantha, who claimed Harry 'would be appalled' if he knew about the 'narcissistic and selfish' actress' treatment of her father, who is now bankrupt.Â
