- By ANGUS HOWARTH

The newest member of the Royal family will accompany the Queen when she carries out a series of official events next week, according to the royal family website.

The engagement­s will be the first time just the Queen and Meghan have taken part in royal events together.

The Duchess of Sussex will accompany the head of state when she opens both the Mersey Gateway Bridge at the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre in Widnes and the Storyhouse Theatre in Chester.

Meghan and the Queen will also have lunch at Chester Town Hall during the Cheshire away-day on 14 June, during the engagement­s in Cheshire next week.

The duchess paid tribute to the Queen as an “incredible woman” when interviewe­d to mark her engagement to Harry earlier this year.

Harry and his wife married on 19 May, during a service that combined British traditions with diversity and modernity. The wedding was watched by more than two billion people worldwide.
