The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Megan Markel, have made their first official appearance together since their decision to step back from official royal duties was made public.
The Duke and Duchess attended an award ceremony to honour injured service personnel in London on Thursday 5th March 2020.
The appearance signified Meghan’s first appearance in the UK for weeks. The Duchess has spent more time in Canada, where the couple are expected to move to, when their roles as senior royals officially comes to an end on 31 March 2020.
“Meghan and I are so happy to be back here with you. Being able to serve the Queen and country is something we all are rightly proud of, and it never leaves us. Once served, always serving,” Prince Harry says during his speech before he and his wife handed out awards.
To the service personnel in attendance, the Duke of Sussex paid his tribute by saying: “Leaving the military and hanging up your uniform is, we know, an incredibly hard thing to do, but being forced to hang it up due to injury, beyond your control, can be even more difficult to accept.”
The couple also watched and applauded as an attendee proposed to his girlfriend. Watch the video below:
