Prince Harry has left restaurant staff delighted by making a touching gesture after his birthday meal with wife Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Sussex, who turns 39 today, was joined by the Duchess in a traditional German bar last night during their stay in Dusseldorf for the Invictus Games.
Harry reportedly washed down bratwurst sausage and wiener schnitzel with six beers.
Bar staff at the I’m Goldened Kessel restaurant revealed the Sussexes were “lovely” and left a “big tip”.

“I had goosebumps when they walked into the restaurant, I had watched his speech on the stage at the Invictus Games and couldn't believe he was in my restaurant. Prince Harry was so lovely and gave me a hug.”
