MEGHAN Markle has attended her first official event alongside the Queen as the royal family turned out for a church service in London to mark Commonwealth Day.
The service – to celebrate the alliance of the 53 countries that make up the Commonwealth – was held at Westminster Abbey in front of more than 2000 guests.
It was attended by the extended royal family, including Prince Charles and wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and Prince Edward’s wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
Ms Markle, fiance Prince Harry, Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, arrived to big cheers from the crowd outside.
The event also delivered a candid moment from the soonto-be-wed royal couple. Harry made his fiancee giggle when he raised a subtle eyebrow after watching Liam Payne perform.
All eyes were on Ms Markle – wearing a white coat and jaunty beret – as Britain’s obsession with the former actor builds ahead of the royal wedding on May 19.
The Queen’s husband, the 96-year-old Prince Philip, has retired from public life and did not attend.
