In honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday, Meghan Markle took a break from maternity leave to make an appearance at the annual Trooping the Colour parade.
Prince Harry, Prince William and his spouse Kate Middleton, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla were also present in the celebration which took place on Saturday.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex waved smiling to the crowds in their carriage which also had the Duchess of Cambridge and Camilla on it.
Meghan Markle wore a navy ensemble designed by Clare Waight Keller, who also created her wedding dress, and donned a matching blue hat by Noel Stewart.
The Duchess of Sussex bore her first child, Archie Harrison, just a little over a month on May 6 and this occasion marks her first public appearance since his birth.
The Trooping of the Colour featured 1,400 well adorned soldiers in ceremonial scarlet coats and bearskin hats march past the queen in a ceremony on Horse Guards Parade in Westminster.
And thousands of cheering spectators lined the parade ground and gathered in nearby St. James’s Park to watch the spectacle.
The ceremony originated from traditional preparations for battle.
The colors — or flags — were “trooped,” or carried down the lines of soldiers, so they could be clearly seen and recognized in battle. The regimental flag being paraded this year is from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.
