She’s Meghan Markle… he’s just Ken.
The Duchess of Sussex celebrated her 42nd birthday early by going to see the “Barbie” movie with pal Portia De Rossi and a couple of other girlfriends, Page Six is told.
The group watched the Margot Robbie-led feminist hit at a Santa Barbara theater earlier this week, sources say, while Prince Harry remained home at their $14 million Montecito, Calif., estate.
The “Suits” alum kept the festivities going by joining friends at the posh San Ysidro Ranch hotel in Santa Barbara Monday night.
We hear the controversial royal posed for photos and made videos with a bachelorette group that was celebrating at the hotel.
One onlooker tells us, “Meghan went over to wish the bride good luck.”

While Harry, 38, stayed behind while his wife had fun with her friends at the start of the week, he made sure they still celebrated her special day.
On Wednesday, the Sussexes were spotted grabbing dinner at celebrity hot spot Tre Lune in Montecito.
Markle wore a $240 black and white strapless maxi dress, while Harry sported a pale blue button-up and white pants.
As for the couple’s plans for her actual birthday, which falls on Friday, we hear Markle and Harry will spend the day at home with their two children, Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.

An insider tells us the prince is “purposely staying behind to be with Meghan,” as he is slated to appear at the ISPS Sports Values Summit-Special Edition in Tokyo next Wednesday.
After arriving in Japan, Harry will head to Singapore with Argentinian polo player Nacho Figueras, where they’ll play in the 2023 Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup at the Singapore Polo Club on Saturday.
It is unclear if the former actress plans to join her husband in Asia, but the pair are confirmed to attend the Invictus Games together in Düsseldorf, Germany, in September.
