A source said: “Meg had always wanted to go so Harry arranged a private visit.

“It’s quite romantic after dark as all the exhibits, including the dinosaurs, are all still lit up.

"And of course, they had it to themselves.”

The museum is popular with royals. Harry’s sister-in-law Kate is its patron and often takes along kids George, three, and Charlotte, 23 months.

Meghan flew into London from her Toronto home on Thursday and has been staying with Harry, 32, at his Kensington Palace home.

They had spent only a week apart after attending the Jamaican wedding of Harry’s best mate Tom Inskipp and Lara Hughes-Young.

But Meghan is due back in Canada to film the new series of drama Suits at the end of the month.

A pal said: “They’re trying to spend as much time to­gether as possible as Meg has filming commitments over the spring and summer. But she feels that a move to London is inevitable as their relationship becomes more serious.

“They spend a lot of time watching movies at Harry’s and cooking new dishes. Meg is a great cook and sends Harry out to posh food shops.

“She has even added a few feminine touches such as scented candles and soft furnishings.”

Harry visited the Nepal Embassy to celebrate 200 years of relations between the UK and the country. He was there last year to highlight the rehabilitation work after an earthquake.

Kensington Palace declined to comment on Prince Harry’s “private time”.
