Before Harry met Meghan and settled down, he enjoyed a good party.

I remember seeing him on campus at the University of Cape Town when he was still dating Chelsy Davy – often looking a little worse for wear.

Now his trips to the pub involve a quiet Sunday lunch with the family.

Just because he’s calmed down, though, it doesn’t mean that we’ve forgotten that time he was naked in Vegas.

I bring that up because it accounts for why the Royal Family decided to put certain things in place to ensure a paparazzi-free evening when Harry headed out for drinks with his friends.

One of these things was a secret entrance to the Hollywood Arms in Chelsea, which has proved useful for the rest of the family as well.

Here’s Cosmopolitan:

The Duchess of Cambridge lives her life pretty much permanently in public view, but now she’s discovered a genius way to pop down to the pub for a drink without anybody noticing.

Heading to the Hollywood Arms in Chelsea, Kate enjoyed drinks with fellow parents from Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s school.

Kate used Harry’s old secret entrance to get in and out of the venue, which also meant that she could leave the majority of her royal guard at the palace.

Kate was down at the pub for an annual meet and greet drinks party held for parents of new students at Thomas’s school in Battersea, where four-year-old Princess Charlotte started in September and where Prince George is already a pupil.

The drinks were hosted in the Hollywood Arms’ Boulevard Bar, which costs £2,500 to hire for the night. Just a low-key few pints, then.

It’s a fancy bar, with fancy drinks. The prince and princess are at a very fancy school, so it all makes sense.

The only sad part is that now that everyone is writing about it, the media are probably going to set up camp in that alleyway.

Sorry, Kate. I’m sure it was fun while it lasted.
