Meghan Markle’s all-black ensemble was reminiscent of Jennifer Aniston’s Friends style in the 1990s. Her character, Rachel Green, regularly paired basic tight-fitting tanks with spaghetti straps and stylish bottoms.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven’t been to Jamaica since 2017

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to Jamaica for the first time since attending the 2017 wedding of Harry’s longtime friend Tom “Skippy” Inskip to Lara Hughes-Young. That trip was before their engagement in November of that same year.

This is the couple’s first joint outing in 2024. On Friday, Jan. 19, Prince Harry attended the Living Legend of Aviation Awards in Beverly Hills. He was honored as an inductee.

Harry attended the event alone. Meghan was set to join him but remained home because one of their children reportedly became ill. It was not revealed if the child was son Prince Archie or daughter Princess Lilibet.

Bob Marley: One Love hits theaters on Feb. 14. It stars Kingsley Ben-Adir as the legendary singer and Lashana Lynch as his wife, Rita.
