MEGHAN Markle has celebrated her hens party overnight — 11 weeks ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry.

The Sun reports the bride-to-be, 36, and her best pals headed to a glamorous spa retreat to be pampered in five-star luxury.

Her close-knit group was said to include ex-TV star Millie Mackintosh, 28, fashion designer Misha Nonoo, 31, and Harry’s childhood pal Violet von Westenholz, 33.

They relaxed with treatments that go for hundreds of pounds.

But the Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan’s devoted mum Doria Radlan — whom she likens to a best friend — were not believed to be there.

Mum-to-be Kate, 35, is thought to have wanted to go.

However, after a full week of public appearances she needed to rest given that she is seven months pregnant.

And Ms Radlan, 61, will not be able to make it over from her Los Angeles home.

Last month Meghan said of the bash while meeting the public in Edinburgh: “It’s sorted but it will be fun.”

Markle met Misha Nonoo, who is reportedly the mutual friend who introduced the couple to each other, years ago after they sat next to each other at a Miami lunch.

And Markle was first introduced to Violet von Westenholz through the latter’s PR role at fashion chain Ralph Lauren.

The US-born Suits actress will marry Harry, 33, in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19.

Pubs will be able to serve until 1am on May 19 and 20 to mark the occasion, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said on Sunday.
