Prince Harry has been spotted buying a Christmas tree with his girlfriend Meghan Markle from a firm in Battersea Park in south London on Monday night before staff gave them a bunch of mistletoe.

The 32-year-old prince and his 35-year-old Suites TV star girlfriend popped into the Pines and Needles store to buy a 6-feet non-drop Nordmann Fir that typically costs £65, and instead of having the tree delivered to his residence, they took it by themselves. Harry also donated £1 to charity.

The store owner Sam Lyle told US Magazine, "It was fantastic having them in the store. They picked out a lovely tree and were both very happy with their purchase. I'm sure they'll have a great time decorating."

In The Telegraph report, staff said the couple left holding hands together with the tree under his arm. They said the couple was browsing through the trees for around 30 minutes and is believed to have taken it to his home in Kensington Palace by car, around two miles from Battersea Park.

The Prince now lives in Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace, where Prince William and his wife Kate moved in 2011 when they were newly weds.

Prince Harry is expected to spend Christmas at Sandringham, but his girlfriend is unlikely to be joining him, since only engaged partners are invited to join in a royal convention.

The actress has already been introduced to members of the royal family last month during Markle's visit to London; she got acquainted with his older brother Prince William.

The purchase of a Christmas tree together has prompted speculation that the couple may enjoy an early Christmas together in London.

Despite the thousands of miles distance between the couple, they managed to maintain their transatlantic relationship work.

Meanwhile, during his royal Caribbean tour earlier this month, Prince Harry also made a 1,700-mile detour to Toronto before flying to London on schedule just to see his girlfriend.
