Meghan makes first public appearance since quitting as senior royal

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are back in the UK for a brief moment, appearing at an awards ceremony in London.



It is Meghan’s first public appearance since she and her husband announced their decision to step back from royal life.

The couple arrived under an umbrella in the pouring rain to celebrate the achievements of wounded, sick and injured servicemen and women who have taken part in sporting and adventure challenges.

Meghan wore a bright blue dress by Victoria Beckham while Harry wore a dark blue suit, white shirt and blue tie.

During the ceremony, a military veteran proposed to his partner on stage.

Danny Holland, who won the Recognising Achievement award, got down on one knee and produced a ring.

There was an audible gasp from the audience, while Meghan smiled and placed her hands in the centre of her chest as Harry applauded the couple.

Yesterday’s appearance by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is one of their last official engagements together before they quit royal life.
