Proud Prince Harry today took an important step in introducing his bride-to-be to the world stage as she attended her first major event on behalf of the Royal Family.
Just over a month ahead of the royal wedding, former actress Miss Markle joined Prince Harry to meet with youth delegates taking part in this week’s high-profile Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (Chogm) in London.
The event comes days after the newly appointed Commonwealth youth ambassador, paved the way for his fiancée's emerging role, saying she's ‘hugely excited’ about joining him in his duties.
The bride-to-be looked business-like in a £1,450 belted pinstripe dress by Altuzarra, with a Camilla and Marc blazer worn in a trendy 'shoulder-robed' style made popular by the Kardashians.
And she added another fashionable touch in the form of an Orton bag, £171, opting for an on-trend crossbody style and killer black suede heels by Tamara Mellon.
It is unusual for someone who has not yet married into the royal family to be involved in a high-profile occasion such as the Chogm summit.
But the Queen, who is Head of the Commonwealth, has made clear she sees Harry and his future bride as lynchpins of her work with the so-called ‘family of nations’.
The prince has been given a new role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador by the Queen and opened its Youth Forum on Monday.
During today's event Prince Harry was heard neatly side-stepping the cultural divide with his American bride-to-be, laughingly explaining the difference between a Band-Aid and a plaster.
Talking to a group of young people who have spent the last two days brain-storming issues as diverse as climate change, women’s rights and sport, Harry said: ‘Don’t get sucked into the system, of putting on a band aid, American style.’
Turning to his future bride, who was born in LA, he explained that in the UK she would have to call them plasters, prompting much laughter from his audience, including Miss Markle herself.
