Meghan Markle and Harry post sweet message after leaving final royal engagement

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared a sweet message on their Instagram page after leaving their final engagement as royals.

The couple posted two photos on Sussex Royal, which is due to be rebranded in the next few weeks to get rid of the word 'Royal', from the Commonwealth Day Service.

Making their final appearance as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they beamed as they walked into Westminster Abbey this afternoon.

Although experts believe their meeting with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was "odd" and awkward, the couple seemed happy and relaxed as they chatted to other guests and schoolchildren.

The couple shared a photo of Meghan and Harry chatting to members of the choir outside the abbey and a photo of them speaking to religious leaders inside.

The caption read: "This afternoon, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the annual Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on Commonwealth Day, alongside Her Majesty The Queen and Members of The Royal Family.

"The Commonwealth is a global network of 54 countries, working in collaboration towards shared economic, environmental, social and democratic goals, and the Service today seeks to highlight the vast community which spans every geographical region, religion and culture, embracing diversity amongst its population of 2.4 billion people, of which 60 percent are under 30 years old.

"As President and Vice-President of the @Queens_Commonwealth_Trust , The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been passionate advocates of the Commonwealth having spent many years working closely with the next generation of Commonwealth leaders.

"The theme of the Commonwealth for 2020 is ‘Delivering A Common Future: Connecting, Innovating, Transforming', placing emphasis on youth, the environment, trade, governance, and ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and innovation.

"From working to protect the earth's natural resources and preserving the planet for generations to come, to championing fair trade and empowering the youth of today to transform the communities of tomorrow, the Service celebrates the Commonwealth's continued commitment to delivering a peaceful, prosperous and more sustainable future for all."

Fans took to social media to share goodbye messages to the couple, and to share their disappointment at seeing them for the last time.

The Commonwealth Day service marks the end of Meghan and Harry's farewell tour of the UK, with the couple expected to fly back to Canada to be reunited with their son Archie soon.
