MWAH! Meghan’s smacker for new dad Wills
She’S known to be rather more demonstrative than most members of the Royal Family, preferring a hug to a handshake.
And it seems the Meghan Markle effect may be rubbing off on her soon-to-be in-laws.
The actress and Prince William were seen exchanging an affectionate greeting yesterday as they arrived at the Anzac Day ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
each gave the other a warm kiss on the cheek, with the prince then resting his hand on Meghan’s shoulder while she placed hers on his back as they shared a conversation, showing she has been firmly accepted into the family fold.
The fond public greeting between the two came as William returned to royal duties following the birth of his third child on Monday.
Asked how his wife Kate and the baby boy were, William replied: ‘They’re very well thanks … Sleeping’s going reasonably well so far, so he’s behaving himself, which is good news.’ however, despite his assurances the prince looked somewhat tired during the ceremony to commemorate Australia and New Zealand’s serving military, war dead and veterans.
he was seen battling to keep his eyes open, at times seeming to surrender to sleep for a few seconds in a way that will be strikingly familiar to many parents of newborns.
‘Kate and baby are very well’
Meghan, 36, wore a bespoke midlength black skirt and jacket by emilia Wickstead to the ceremony.
The designer is a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge, demonstrating how Meghan is upping her royal style game. She matched the outfit with a chic black hat and Jimmy Choo clutch bag.
earlier in the day she had joined Prince harry at a remembrance service where she took part in a tra- ditional Maori greeting. The brideto-be rubbed noses with a Maori woman to exchange a ‘breath of life’ in the ‘hongi’ greeting.
It is a quintessential aspect of New Zealand’s culture and most members of the Royal Family have done it, including harry – meaning he may have been able to offer his fiancee some tips. The service was held at the New Zealand War Memorial beside Wellington Arch in central London on the 103rd anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign. After the main ceremony harry, 33, and Meghan signed a book of commemoration, the first time she has done so.
