Meghan and Harry have firmly established their lives in California since stepping away from their royal duties. One of the perks of living in LA is having access to some of the best restaurants in the world. According to insiders, one of Meghan’s favorite dining spots has been the upscale Italian eatery, Luna, in Santa Barbara, run by celebrity chef Massimo Faretti.

Luna is renowned for its rustic charm, authentic cuisine, and its discreet service for a wealthy and famous clientele. Meghan was reportedly a regular visitor, often dining privately with friends in a secluded room away from prying eyes. However, staff have noted that she frequently displayed diva-like behavior, making extravagant demands and treating the waitstaff as if they were her personal servants.

Things came to a head this past weekend when Meghan and a group of twelve friends arrived unannounced for a birthday dinner. They racked up a bill of over $2,000 with high-end wines, imported cheeses, and multi-course meals, all while micromanaging and complaining about the service.

By the end of the evening, tensions were running high. When Massimo personally delivered the eye-watering bill to Meghan’s private room, he expected the usual swift resolution with her signature and credit card. To his surprise, Meghan refused to pay, claiming the charges were inaccurate without providing any evidence or engaging in further discussion.

Massimo, visibly frustrated, reminded her that his restaurant was not a charity and accused her of entitlement. The situation quickly deteriorated into a public shouting match, unlike anything seen before at the usually refined establishment. Meghan was overheard angrily proclaiming that Massimo didn’t know who she was and threatening to tarnish his reputation on social media if forced to pay.

As the altercation escalated, other diners looked on in shock. Security was eventually called to handle the situation. Meghan reportedly left in tears, escorted to her awaiting SUV by bodyguards before the police arrived. Massimo was left fuming over the disrespect and humiliation he faced in his own restaurant from an entitled patron.

As the details of the incident went viral, a spokesperson for Massimo Faretti’s Luna issued a statement confirming the altercation and noted that the bill remains unpaid. They also made it clear that Meghan is no longer welcome at any of their establishments worldwide due to the unsafe and anxiety-provoking environment she created with her behavior that night.

While dealing with the toxic entitlement of high-profile individuals is never easy, I side with the restaurant in this case. One should not dine and dash on a $2,000 meal without expecting consequences—royal status or not. The law applies equally to everyone, and basic decency requires settling your debts gracefully instead of mistreating those who provide luxury services. This incident serves as a stark reminder that fame, wealth, or social status cannot exempt anyone from the rules and norms that govern us all, and it further damages any narrative of self-victimization that might be spun. Only time will tell how this affects Meghan’s reputation.
