Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had a special date night over the weekend, keeping their promise to see a new musical in London.

The royal parents-to-be, who are expecting their first child in April, headed across town to see Tina — The Tina Turner Musical on Saturday night.

They were fulfilling a promise they made in November when they attended the Royal Variety Performance at The London Palladium, where they met some of the show’s performers and said they would like to come see the musical.

Meghan and Harry’s evening outing was revealed by the show’s social media.

“We were thrilled and honoured to welcome The Duke and Duchess of Sussex to the show last night,” the musical’s official Twitter accounted tweeted.

The show’s lead, Adrienne Warren, added her excitement about having the royal couple in the audience.

“They said they’d come and they did! Thank you to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. It was an honour to have the opportunity to perform for you again!” Adrienne Warren, who plays Tina Turner in the musical, tweeted.
