Prince Harry and Meghan Markle posed beside fellow A-listers during a Friday night Netflix event.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were photographed attending Netflix’s BEEF Season 2 Montecito Tastemaker at a private residence in Montecito, California.
Throughout the evening, the couple posed alongside Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and his wife, Nicole Avant.
In another photo, Markle posed with Sarandos before closely hugging his wife for another pic.
The royals also rubbed shoulders with Katy Perry and her boyfriend, former Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, at the party. Others at the fête included Oscar Isaac, Charles Melton and Nick Kroll.
The couple’s outing came the same day Page Six confirmed Harry had been sued by his former charity, Sentebale, for libel and slander following an internal dispute with the charity’s chairwoman.
Mark Dyer, who served as a trustee of Sentebale before Harry and Dr. Sophie Chandauka’s falling out, was also sued.
The board of trustees and the executive director of Sentebale confirmed the charity had “commenced legal proceedings” against Harry and Dyer over a “coordinated adverse media campaign” that began in March 2025.
They alleged in a statement that the pair “caused operational disruption and reputational harm to the charity, its leadership, and its strategic partners” which “resulted in significant viral impact and triggered an onslaught of cyber-bullying directed at the charity and its leadership.”
However, a spokesperson for both the Duke of Sussex and Dyer told Page Six that the pair “categorically reject” Sentebale’s “offensive and damaging claims.”
“It is extraordinary that charitable funds are now being used to pursue legal action against the very people who built and supported the organisation for nearly two decades, rather than being directed to the communities the charity was created to serve,” the spokesperson noted.
Harry co-founded Sentebale — which focuses on helping young HIV and AIDS victims in Lesotho and Botswana — in his mom Princess Diana’s honor in 2006.
However, in March 2025, he resigned after butting heads with Chandauka. Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, co-founder of Sentebale, and the board of trustees followed suit shortly after.
“With heavy hearts, we have resigned from our roles as patrons of the organization until further notice, in support of and solidarity with the board of trustees,” Harry and Seeiso said in a joint statement at the time.
“It is devastating that the relationship between the charity’s trustees and the chair of the board broke down beyond repair,” they added.
Chandauka then reported Harry and the trustees to the regulatory Charity Commission for England and Wales over shocking allegations of bullying and harassment.
She alleged that the pair’s conflict began when Harry’s team asked her to defend Markle after an awkward photo op at a Sentebale event in April 2024 sparked negative media coverage.
However, the Commission discovered no evidence of “widespread or systemic bullying, harassment, misogyny or misogynoir” at the Sentebale charity in an August 2025 statement.
The Commission did criticize both Harry and Chandauka for allowing their dispute “to play out publicly,” noting that their “failure to resolve disputes internally severely impacted the charity’s reputation and risked undermining public trust in charities more generally.”
An insider close to Harry, meanwhile, claimed that neither he nor Seeiso could envision returning to Sentebale as long as Chandauka remained the charity’s chair.
