Your support makes all the difference.The Duchess of Sussex has made her first public appearance with the Duke of Sussex since the couple announced their decision to quit the royal family.
On Thursday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen arriving at Mansion House in London for the annual Endeavour Fund Awards.
During the ceremony, the couple handed out awards honouring wounded or injured military veterans who use sports or athletics to aid in recovery.
For the occasion, Meghan wore a bright turquoise T-shirt dress with cap sleeves by Victoria Beckham, costing £950, paired with navy stiletto heels by British accessories brand Jimmy Choo.
The dress is currently sold out on Victoria Beckham's website.
Meghan also carried a navy blue clutch by Stella McCartney for the occaison.
The former Suits star styled her hair in a low ponytail and for her makeup, she chose a classic smoky eye and red lip.
Prince Harry opted for a royal blue suit and matching tie, which he wore over a simple white collared shirt.
Prior to their arrival at the awards, the couple, who are in the UK to fulfil their remaining royal duties prior to stepping down from the royal family at the end of March, were seen leaving The Goring, a hotel near Buckingham Palace.
It’s not clear whether or not they were in fact staying at the hotel or simply visiting and residing at Frogmore Cottage, which will remain their official residence in the UK.
The Sussex’s website states: “Frogmore Cottage will continue to be the property of Her Majesty the Queen. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will continue to use Frogmore Cottage – with the permission of Her Majesty The Queen – as their official residence as they continue to support the Monarchy, and so that their family will always have a place to call home in the United Kingdom.”
The couple are expected to make an appearance at the Mountbatten Music Festival on 7 March before Meghan marks International Women’s Day with a special event on 8 March.
For the Sussexes final royal engagement, they will join the Queen and other members of the royal family at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on 9 March.
