Meghan’s hip, hip beret for Queen..

US star sings our National Anthem

- BY VICTORIA MURPHY Royal Correspond­ent

MEGHAN Markle makes a bright start in a white beret on her first public outing with the Queen.

The American actress, who will marry Prince Harry in two months, also sang the National Anthem.

Meghan, 36, stood out among the royals in her £895 cream coat by British designer Amanda

Wakeley, matching hat by UK milliner Stephen

Jones and blue Manolo

Blahnik stilettos.

She told wellwisher­s she was “very excited” about her wedding day on May 19.

She was at the annual Common- wealth service at Westminste­r Abbey, where she took her place among the leading royals. Although technicall­y still a commoner, Meghan sat alongside Harry in the order of precedence that she will have when they are married – behind The Queen, Charles, Camilla, William and Kate, but ahead of Andrew, Anne and Sophie. They walked behind her on the way out of the Abbey.

She exchanged a smile with future sister-in-law Kate, 36, who wore a navy dress by London label Beulah – and stiletto heels almost identical to Meghan’s.
