Even when you’re a big star, the world can be weirdly small.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly ran into none other than Captain America himself, Chris Evans, as well as his new bride Alba Baptista while the Sussexes took a low-key jaunt to Portugal in late September.
According to Page Six, the couples didn’t know each other before the chance meeting at an eatery abroad, and the unnamed source called the power meeting of the power couples completely coincidental.
Vanity Fair has reached out to representatives for the Sussexes for comment.
While no details are known about the run-in, including if it was a “hey, I know that guy” type nod and wave or a full-on conversation or what, it’s nice for the sake of international relations to think about a budding friendship between Harry and Evans. They’re both sons who have taken a step back from their kingdoms (Harry’s literal, Evans’ with the whole done-ish with the Marvel Cinematic Universe thing). Maybe Markle and Baptista compared notes on the unfairness of being largely referred to as “the wife” by their spouses’ fans, despite having storied careers in their own right.
They certainly could have all traded pointers on keeping things low-key: At Alba and Evans’ wedding last month, guests handed over phones and were required to sign NDAs, and Meghan and Harry’s Portugal trip was so under the radar that their reps haven’t even confirmed that the getaway after the Invictus Games happened at all. Just call them the International (Wo)Men of Mystery. There’s a movie we’d watch.
