The Sun’s Emily Andrews reported that the pair are enjoying a bit of down-time before they begin their royal tour to South Africa on Monday.

Designer Nonoo, who collaborated with the duchess on her Smart Set capsule wardrobe for the Smart Works charity, is preparing to marry oil tycoon Michael Hess.

Nonoo is credited with introducing American former actress Meghan to Harry after setting them up on a blind date in 2016.

She was previously married to the duke’s friend Alexander Gilkes.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are also expected at the star-studded nuptials in Italy, along with Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
