Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have driven away from their final engagement as they turn their backs on royal life.
Making their final appearance as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the couple joined the rest of the Royal Family at Westminster Abbey for the Commonwealth Day Service this afternoon.
At the end of the service the couple thanked the organisers and chatted to children waiting outside before getting in a car and being driven away.
The historical moment follows months of drama within the Royal Family, with the Queen, Prince Charles and William reportedly upset and hurt by their decision to quit.
Today was the first time Meghan and Harry have been seen publicly with their royal relatives, with the world's eyes watching how they would interact.
The couple were not part of the Queen's procession, as they have been in recent years, instead taking their seats with the rest of the guest.
In a last minute change, Kate and William also skipped the formality. The decision was made yesterday, after the order of services were printed.
Meghan and Harry walked into the abbey hand in hand before taking their seats in the second row behind the Queen, Charles, Kate and William.
The Duchess looked stunning in an emerald green Emilia Wickstead dress with a matching hat while Harry was smart in a blue suit with a matching green lining.
Things appeared slightly awkward as the Sussexes met the Cambridges inside the abbey.
Meghan was seen to mouth “hi” and give a small wave to William and Kate, followed by a “hello”, as the Cambridges took their seat in the High Altar in the row in front of the Sussexes.
After the service, Meghan and Harry appeared to keep their distance from Kate and William, as they met with guests including Anthony Joshua and Craig David.
Prince Harry broke with coronavirus guidance for the event, which told people to avoid contact.
The Duke of Sussex however elbow-pumped the singer, while Meghan went in for a hug with Alexandra Burke.
Prince Charles however kept his distance as he was seen offering guests a namaste gesture as opposed to shaking their hands.
