overshadow a long-planned speech by Camilla on domestic violence. But Meghan, 38, and Harry, 35, looked relaxed and happy as they joined Her Majesty at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor Great Park.

Harry, who did two tours of Afghanistan during his time in the forces, was said to be devastated when the Queen told him to step back from his military positions after leaving The Firm.

Harry will no longer use HRH or his honorary military title as Captain General of the Royal Marines.

But a source said: “Harry has vowed he will never walk away from his military friends and comrades.

“Giving up his military roles has been the hardest thing for him, and the Queen saw how much that connection means to him, which is why there will always be a way back.”

The Queen has left the door open for the couple to return to royal duties, suggesting a review after 12 months.

The source said: “Meghan also wants Harry to keep up his associations with the armed forces as he was devastated by having to step back from the one part of royal life he liked.

“A path has been set for him to return to take on those duties.” The couple got a standing ovation at the Royal Albert

Hall on Saturday at their last official military engagement – a music festival to raise money for the Marines and a kids’ cancer charity.

At the Endeavour Fund Awards for injured personnel last week, Harry told the military crowd: “I’ve always got your back.”

He said: “I feel lucky to be able to count myself as one of you; and am deeply proud to have served among you.”

He will continue his association with the Invictus Games, the sporting event for injured military personnel which he

set up in 2014. More than 500 competitors from 19 nations will take part in the games in May in the Netherlands.

Meghan had an association with the military before she met Harry, having travelled to Afghanistan in 2014 with the United Service Organisations, which supports the military and their families around the world.

In November, she and Harry visited the Broom Farm Community Centre, near their home in Windsor, and spent time with the families of army personnel deployed overseas.

A source close to the couple said: “They were blown away by the resilience of the families, what they have to endure through time apart and the hardships they sometimes suffer.

“Now they have the chance to help and raise the profile of issues that matter to them.” On their website, they told how they “intend to develop a new way to effect change and complement the efforts made by so many excellent foundations globally”.

It will be in addition to “cause driven work”, around education for all, conservation and climate change.

Meghan yesterday posted images of her trip to a school in Dagenham, East London for International Women’s Day. Meghan told the children: “No matter how small you might feel, you have a voice and you certainly have the right to speak up for what is right.”

Buckingham Palace last night offered no comment.
