Breaking News: Prince and Princess of Wales Enjoy Rare Evening Out with Close Friends

Life as a royal can be both brilliant and challenging, making good friends an essential part of the journey.

The Princess of Wales has been surrounded by a select group of people who act as her support system during her life under the royal spotlight.

In a breaking news update, we bring you the exciting story of the Prince and Princess of Wales enjoying a rare evening away from their parenting duties to party with close friends at a London bar.

The royal couple met up with a group of friends at the Bunga Bunga Club, owned by William's friend Charlie Gilkes, to celebrate their friend Louise Aubrey Fletcher's birthday.

Joining them was Catherine's pal and Prince George's godmother, Emilia Jardine Patterson, accompanied by her husband David.

Emilia and Catherine have been close friends since attending Marlborough College together.

In fact, Emilia even accompanied the Princess on a holiday to Ibiza after the couple briefly split in 2007.

Reports suggest that Emilia has also been instrumental in helping Catherine redecorate Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall.

During the special birthday bash, Princess Catherine looked stylish and kept warm in her black Impero Delhi coat.

The sheepskin jacket, priced at £1,960, features an asymmetrical zip front with genuine leather trim detailing and gold metal hardware.

She paired it with a black printed dress, reminiscent of the Assad print dress.

Although the style of the dress is difficult to ascertain from limited photos, it appears to be shorter than the Assad dress.

Completing her ensemble, she carried her black leather wallet mulberry-locked cosmetic purse and held her black suede Episode Angel pumps in her hand.

At the end of the evening, the couple discreetly exited through a side door to a group of waiting cars on the street.

The couple lives near Anmer Hall, William and Catherine's country home in Norfolk.

Oliver, another close friend, studied with the couple at St. Andrew's University in Scotland.

He is also one of Prince George's godparents.

Sophie, another dear friend of Catherine's, was chosen as one of Princess Charlotte's godmothers.

Sophie and Catherine have been pictured together at various events, from Wimbledon to Christmas Day church services in Norfolk.
