It’s a party!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended Tyler Perry’s star-studded 55th birthday party in Montecito, California on Saturday.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen in the back of a black Range Rover as they left the $31 million mansion where the party was being held, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Monday.

Markle, 43, smiled from ear to ear and held her hand to her face as she rode in the backseat with her husband, who just celebrated his 40th birthday, and a friend.

The “Suits” alum’s outfit wasn’t visible in the photos, but her diamond ring was visible. Meanwhile, Harry wore a gray suit.

Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King also attended the party and were spotted leaving in a separate car.

The “Color Purple” actress, 70, was driving while the “CBS Mornings” co-host, 69, was in the passenger seat. Behind them were Alicia Key and her husband, Swizz Beatz.

Harry and Markle have been close friends with Perry since they sought his advice after stepping down from royal duties in January 2020.

“I sent them a note … and just said, ‘If you ever need anything, I’m here for you,’ and months later she called and talked to me like I was a therapist you talk to, and we just had a great conversation,” he recalled to Kelly Ripa on her podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera” in November 2023.

“It’s really important for people in this industry to have a safe place to land, a place where they can trust and talk freely and get advice that’s not biased or from someone who wants something from them.”

After building a friendship with the couple, the “Why Did I Get Married?” actor invited them and their son, Prince Archie, to stay at his $18 million Beverly Hills mansion to hide from the media.

After the Sussexes welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in 2021, they made the filmmaker her godfather.

The couple also has a good relationship with Winfrey and King.

In 2021, Harry and Markle spoke to the former talk show host about their issues with the royal family, including wondering how dark Archie’s skin would be when he was born.
