NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former maitre d' Michael Cecchi-Azzolina claims that Meghan Markle's handler rudely asked for a private table at Michelin-starred restaurant Le Coucou in New York City in 2017. Her handler demanded a private table, claiming it was "for someone who is dating a prince." At the time, Markle was dating Prince Harry, whom she married a year later.
