The final days of the Sussexes’ lives as Royals
LAST LAP: COUPLE CELEBRATE SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS
THE DUKE and Duchess of Sussex stepped out in style last night for one of their last official engagements before they quit Royal life.
Meghan flashed a smile while Harry looked pensive as they arrived at the Endeavour Fund Awards, at Mansion House, in central London, to celebrate the sporting and adventure achievements of wounded, sick and injured service personnel.
It was the first time Meghan had carried out a public Royal duty in the wake of the ‘Megxit’ crisis. The event was the couple’s first joint official appearance since announcing their decision to step down as senior Royals, which takes effect on March 31.
Sheltering from the rain under an umbrella as they arrived, the Duke wore a navy blue suit while American former actress Meghan was dressed in a light blue dress.
