Harry also admitted that his bride warned him about the hilariously villainous role of King George III in the show.
“I didn’t know what to expect,” he shared. “She told me.”
HavingseenHamiltonon both sides of the Atlantic— beforedeleting her Instagram account, the formerSuitsstar shared a photo with palPriyanka Choprain New York City posing with the Playbill in hand — Meghan asked if Miranda had noticed the difference in audiences’ reaction.
“Have you seen it yet in London? Because I found it so amazing to watch how that plays versus here and the response is so different,” Meghan said. “But everyone loves it.”
Miranda told reporters that it’ll be “fun and surreal” to see the show with the royal.
“You don’t get that every day,” the Tony winner, 38, said. “You get heads of state, we’ve had some popular folks come see our show, but you don’t often get a direct descendant of one of your main characters.”
Miranda added that it was a “huge honor” to hear that Harry and Meghan were fans of the show.
Meghan, 37, and Harry privately met Sentebale supporters before taking their seats to watch the show — appropriately in the middle of the theatre’s royal circle.
As well as seeing the show, the trio are set to meet the cast and crew.
The outing marks the beginning of a busy back-to-work phase for the couple following summer break. On September 4, Meghan will join Harry for the annual awards night for his charityWellChild. The charity works on behalf of seriously ill children and their families and caretakers.
