Meghan Markle was spotted out with a Hollywood gal pal.

Markle and Kimberly Williams-Paisley had lunch together on Sunday at Tre Lune in Montecito, California.

"They had a lovely experience, chatting and laughing together," a source told People magazine. "The pair was low-key and was left unbothered by the other guests."

While it's unclear when Markle and Williams-Paisley first met, the two have a lot in common.

Both graduated from Northwestern University, with Williams-Paisley earning her degree in 1993 and Markle in 2003. The two are also familiar with the Hollywood scene with their acting careers.

Williams-Paisley landed her breakout role in "Father of the Bride" in 1991. The actress is also known for roles in "We Are Marshall" and on TV's "According to Jim."

Markle famously was a briefcase girl during season two of "Deal or No Deal." She went on to star on "Suits" and is also known for her smaller roles in the films "Horrible Bosses," along with "Remember Me."

These two ladies also have husbands who are famous in their own right. 

Williams-Paisley married country music superstar Brad Paisley in 2003. They have two sons: William and Jasper. Markle married Prince Harry in 2018. They also have two children: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. 

Markle and Prince Harry have been putting down roots in the U.S. after leaving behind royal life in 2020. Markle hasn't returned to the U.K. since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September 2022. She attended the funeral with Prince Harry, but left their children in the U.S.

Many have speculated that Harry and Meghan might make a return to the U.K. together, but according to reports, that's not happening any time soon.

Meanwhile, Markle jet-setted to the Hamptons on Friday to join a group of high-powered women at a summit to reportedly learn tips for her new lifestyle business, American Riviera Orchard, according to Page Six. Gwyneth Paltrow and Reese Witherspoon were among the star-studded names believed to be at the event, the outlet reported.

Harry has returned to the U.K. for a number of events while Markle stayed behind. He attended King Charles III's coronation, and also saw his father after the king was diagnosed with cancer.

Prince Harry's trip to England following the cancer diagnosis was short, a royal expert told Fox News Digital at the time.

"He was there for 24 hours, he saw his father for 45 minutes, he flew — and announced to the press — after the king’s statement was released, even though we later heard that he was told beforehand, and he didn’t see his sister-in-law or nieces and nephews even though they are also dealing with a traumatic health recovery," Shannon Felton Spence explained. "It’s hard to view it as anything other than an image saver for Harry. And that pains me, because I was really hoping this was the news he needed to wake him up and fix it."

Although things haven't been the best between Prince Harry and his family, the Duke of Sussex is reportedly set to receive an inheritance left behind by his great-grandmother on his 40th birthday, Sept. 15. The Queen Mother was 101 when she died and allegedly dumped two-thirds of her estimated $120 million fortune into a trust at the time.

The Duke of Sussex will receive $8.5 million for his share, according to the U.K.'s Mirror. The total is reportedly more than the portion Prince William received on his own 40th birthday.

"It seems Prince Harry has drawn the lucky straw when it comes to the trust," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. "The difference in the allocation of monies is attributed to what is thought to be Prince William and Prince Harry’s future financial prospects."

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, called on Oakland officials Friday to amend an "extreme" policy that generally only allows police to chase suspected criminals in cases of "violent forcible crimes."

The governor sent a letter to Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, the Oakland City Council and the Oakland Police Commission urging them to reconsider the Oakland Police Department (OPD) policy that limits officers' ability to pursue suspects.

"Although some California jurisdictions allow vehicle pursuits for only certain crimes (e.g., felonies), Oakland is an outlier by imposing exceptional restrictions on OPD's ability to police criminal activity, generally permitting pursuits only for 'violent forcible crimes,' as defined in OPD's policy, and crimes involving firearms," Newsom wrote. 

The letter said that, unlike most other jurisdictions in the state, local police in Oakland are prohibited from pursuing people suspected of committing various felonies and any misdemeanor, including those that are violent, as well as other offenses that endanger public safety, such as reckless driving, sideshow activity and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

GOV NEWSOM ORDERS HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS TORN DOWN ACROSS CALIFORNIA: 'NO MORE EXCUSES'

"I am mindful of the sensitivities around vehicle pursuits, which can be dangerous to police, suspects, and innocent bystanders," the governor wrote. "California's Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training recognizes and addresses this in its standard-setting guidance. But there is also extreme danger to the public in allowing criminals to act with impunity, and the reckless driving associated with sideshows and other criminal acts is a significant threat to public safety — as witnessed regularly by the public in viral videos and news coverage."

This comes after Newsom's recent move to increase California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Oakland to conduct surge operations targeting organized crime, sideshows, carjackings and other criminal activity.

Newsom said the move quickly produced several arrests of suspects accused of committing these crimes. Two days after the governor's announcement, the CHP used ground and airborne assets to conduct a surge operation targeting sideshows. Several vehicle pursuits through that operation led to five felony arrests, eight DUIs, the recovery of eight stolen vehicles and the seizure of two guns.

"In the course of the CHP’s operations, however, they have observed, based on their professional law enforcement experience and expertise, certain dynamics that are contributing to Oakland's public safety challenges," Newsom wrote in the letter. "In particular, the CHP has brought to my attention that they observed criminals often fleeing with impunity because it’s common knowledge that the Oakland Police Department’s ('OPD') pursuit policy allows vehicle pursuits in only very limited circumstances."

Newsom said CHP observed suspects attempting to avoid arrest by using the same routes, meaning that the suspects knew where OPD would stop chasing them. But, the governor said, the suspects were unable to avoid the six pursuits initiated by CHP, which had a number of resources available to them, including air support.

"Any policy on vehicle pursuits must be clear-eyed in balancing the risks and benefits involved," Newsom's letter read. "Because of Oakland's public safety challenges and the degree to which OPD's pursuit policy is an outlier among California law enforcement agencies, I support the recent action by the City Council to direct a review of this policy.

"I urge you to reconsider whether OPD should be permitted to pursue suspects in more circumstances to improve public safety in your city and to establish a process to evaluate whether OPD is making full use of its authority, including that granted under the existing pursuit policy, to protect public safety and enforce the law," he continued.

Newsom concluded his letter by saying he is committed to improving public safety in Oakland and across California. He said there have been some recent improvements in public safety, but that officials "owe it to our communities to continue to search for solutions."
