She’s the air to the throne

-

APPARENTLY even Prince Harry sometimes has enough of listening to Meghan Markle.

A spy who sat opposite the pair during a double date Wednesday night in New York City exclusivel­y told Page Six that Markle barely stopped speaking to take a breath, while Harry’s attention seemed to drift away from his wife’s musings and he ended up fiddling with his phone.

The spy told us that they noticed Markle did “most of the talking” at the table at the legendary Bemelmans Bar inside the Carlyle hotel.

While the source turned their attention back to their own drinks and conversati­on, they occasional­ly looked across and were surprised to find “she’s still talking.”

In fact, the spy recalled asking their date, “Why is she talking so much?”

Harry, on the other hand, had “very few responses.”

“Harry got bored and started looking at his phone. Then he got back in the conversati­on, and then he lost it again and went back to his phone.”

Our spy left after an hour but said Markle talked nearly the whole time they were there.

“She was excited about something,” the source said. “She talked with her hands a lot.”

The pair were out with a couple described as a “blond and a tall guy,” believed to be the “Suits” alum’s BFF Misha Nonoo and the designer’s husband, Mikey Hess.

Meanwhile, the source said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s two security guards, who sat at a separate table, were busy keeping an eye out for fellow guests at the Upper East Side haunt who might be so bold as to snap a picture of the former senior royals.

“If people tried to take a picture, they would approach them and say, ‘Please don’t,’ ” the spy said.

They have been staying at the hotel while in town to make an appearance at yesterday’s Global Citizen event in Central Park.
