Spending some time with each other after a busy few weeks apart, the pair perused a few options before deciding on a modest 6ft-tall, non-drop, Nordmann Fir. tree.

According to Sam Lyle, owner of Pines and Needles, Harry picked up the bill paying around $96.

“We have looked after some of Britain’s highest profile names for nearly 20 years but you could have heard a pin drop – or a needle – when Prince Harry and Meghan walked into the store,” Sam told the Telegraph in the UK.

“They were completely charming together and blissfully unaware that our jaws had hit the floor.”

The beautiful star of television series Suits has flown to London to be with Harry before Christmas.

Fellow shopper Gary Spence said: “It was a bit weird seeing Prince Harry browsing the Christmas trees.”

“I thought he’d go for the biggest one around, but he just wanted a little six footer.”

A spokesperson for the shop told HELLO! Online, “they were there for about 15 minutes browsing and then having a look, then they selected their tree and Harry carried it on his shoulder once it was netted up, back to the car.”
