Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dined at the famous Harlem eatery Melba's during their public visit to New York and were so impressed that they decided to donate $25,000 (\u00a318,000).<\/p>\n

The ex-royal couple dined on soul food dish chicken and waffles in a first for the Queen's grandson.<\/p>\n

After the visit was over, the ecstatic restaurant announced on Twitter that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had promised to donate $25,000 to show support for the restaurant during COVID-19 hospitality challenges.<\/p>\n

The restaurant posted to Twitter stating: "It was such an honor to welcome Prince Harry & Meghan, the Duke & Duchess of Sussex to Melba\u2019s! The team and I are so thankful for their visit and commitment to donating $25k & hope to welcome them back soon." <\/p>\n

A diner who was eating at the restaurant during the couple's appearance said they enjoyed Southern fried chicken, waffles, spring rolls, catfish, yams and collard greens.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The lucky diner said: "Harry said it was the first time he\u2019d ever tried chicken and waffles and remarked it was delicious."<\/p>\n

They also claimed that Harry said collard greens were a family favourite due to Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, making the dish for the couple.<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's appearance at the restaurant was reportedly enough to make the customers "choke on their chicken", the New York Post reported.<\/p>\n
