The celebrity fans of US burger joint In-N-Out Burger, after Meghan Markle seen grabbing her usual order

Did Meghan Markle sneak a cheeseburger while Harry opened the Invictus Games? That’s one of the questions being asked as the Duchess of Sussex was spotted picking up a drive-thru order at a popular burger restaurant, In-N-Out Burger, on Sunday night while Prince Harry was ribbing Meghan during the opening of the Invictus Games.

Could Meghan have ordered her favourite - cheeseburger and fries with sides of jalapeños, which Harry disclosed during an interview with People earlier this year discussing the move from the United Kingdom to the United States, leading to Harry’s extolling the virtues of the burger joint.

“In-N-Out is the best! I order two double-doubles, animal style, fries and a Coke! And that’s just for me!” Harry admitted. “Meg gets the cheeseburger and fries with sides of jalapeños. I just stick with ketchup and that special sauce of theirs. So good!"

Meghan also sang the praises of the burger place, going as far as to tell Variety the lengths they’ll go in order to get In-N-Out: “My husband’s favourite is In-N-Out. There’s one at the halfway point between LA and our neck of the woods. It’s really fun to go through the drive-thru and surprise them. They know our order.”

It does feel like Harry is throwing shade at the beloved UK institution, Wimpy, but it would also seem that Harry has officially embraced US culture - In-N-Out burger, aking to White Castle, has become a staple not only for celebrities to get a quick greasy fix, but has permeated popular culture, from ‘Harold and Kumar’ wanting to go to White Castle, to the abundance of hip-hop references to In-N-Out burger.

Unfortunately for us in the UK, there are no In-N-Out Burger joints in the country - however that may soon change after a pop-up In-N-Out opened in London last week; should it be successful (spoiler - it already is), perhaps that would give In-N-Out the idea to allow franchising outside of the USA. Here's hoping!
